Tailoring Nitrogen Removal Upgrades to Address Limitations
The schedule and timing of individual presentations within a session is subject to change based on the actual length of each presentation. Contact hours are awarded for attendance at the session and will be given for the actual length of the session.
Managing Principal Brown and Caldwell Walnut Creek, California
As treatment plants adapt to changing requirements on nutrient concentrations in effluent discharges, existing plant infrastructure must be retrofitted or adapted for optimized nutrient removal processes. During this session, you will learn of one treatment plant's implementation of four upgrades to bring effluent nitrate levels below new permit limits.
Learning Objectives:
Identify strategies for optimizing nitrogen removal.
Implement optimized internal return flows with supplemental carbon to reduce nitrate levels.
