Treatment of Source Separated Greywater Using Microbial Electrolysis Cell and Granular Activated Carbon Biofilter
DownloadSpring 2021
Source-diverted greywater contributes to 60-70 % of conventional wastewater in volume and has a low organic matter concentration as compared to conventional wastewater. Greywater constitutes a high concentration of surfactants that are toxic in nature for the microbial community, which poses a...

Treatment of Primary Influent Wastewater during Wet Weather Flow by Powdered Activated Carbon – Catalyzed Ozonation: From Fundamentals to Application
DownloadFall 2020
Cities equipped with combined sewers to accommodate domestic and industrial wastewater as well as storm water runoffs, encounter the need to prevent seasonal overflows into water bodies. An extensive literature review pertaining to the treatment of primary influent (PI) during wet weather...

Treatment of Oil Sands Process-affected Water (OSPW) Using Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) Reactors
DownloadFall 2016
The oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) generated from bitumen extraction of oil sands, is currently stored in tailings ponds due to its toxicity to the aquatic organisms. The primary toxic constituents of OSPW are a complex mixture of alicyclic and aliphatic compounds containing carboxyl...

Treatment of Antiviral Drugs in Wastewater Using Advanced Oxidation Processes - Ozonation of Oseltamivir Phosphate
DownloadFall 2021
While wastewater treatment facilities are designed to remove contaminants from water before it returns to the environment, unfortunately, not all of these facilities are effective in the removal of micropollutants (MPs). Antiviral drugs are a class of MPs that have become an area of concern due...

Transport and Transfer of Total Dissolved Gases in the Lower Columbia River Hydropower System
DownloadSpring 2020
Hydropower facilities can generate elevated or supersaturated total dissolved gases (TDGs) during spill operations that can impose environmental and ecological risk to downstream habitat, particularly to fishes causing gas bubble disease and mortality. Assessment of such impact and management of...

In hydraulic fracturing, resin-coated ceramic proppants can be added to fracturing fluid as an agent for propping the fractures. Resin-coated ceramic proppants have several advantages compared to the traditional silica sands and ceramic proppants. Resin-coated ceramic proppants can withstand much...

Transitions of microbial communities in high-solids anaerobic digestion with percolate recirculation
DownloadSpring 2021
High-solids anaerobic digestion (HSAD) is a growingly popular strategy for recovery of biomethane from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW). The focus of this thesis study is to advance fundamental understanding and engineering performance of high-solids anaerobic digestion...
