(including scoping, design, and site selection)
Description
OWP research staff
provide assistance with assessing the feasibility of
various aspects of wastewater treatment operations,
including several evaluations of ammonia removal.
Many studies have included cost-benefit analysis.
Experience
-
Evaluation of Methods to Control
Fouling in Microfiltration
Membranes
-
Membrane filtration is a promising
technology for treating wastewater. However,
as particulate matter accumulates on the
membrane, the energy requirements for
maintaining a specified flux increase, often
making this technology economically
infeasible. This study involved assessing
membrane configurations for tertiary
treatment, with an emphasis on identifying
ways to control membrane fouling.

Heavy Metals Removal Using
Coagulation and Flocculation
-
Wastewater treatment plants are subject to
effluent discharge limitations on heavy
metals. Conventional wastewater treatment
processes are not effective in removing
heavy metals from wastewater, which can
result in discharge violations if metals
enter the wastestream. This study included
conducting coagulation and flocculation
tests to assess the effectiveness of metals
removal.
