Use of an ecological treatment system (ETS) for removal of nutrients from dairy wastewater

Investigating the Performance of a Laboratory-Scale Ecological System to Treat Dairy Wastewater

The potential for an ecologically engineered treatment system to improve water quality is supported by the effective treatment of wastewater by existing systems such as Living Machines and treatment…

Phosphate Removal and Recovery from Wastewater by Natural Materials for Ecologically Engineered Wastewater Treatment Systems

Eutrophication due to excess loading of phosphorus (P) is a leading cause of water quality degradation within the United States. The aim of this study was to investigate P removal and recovery with…
