Methodologies in Mechanistic and Machine Learning Modelling of Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Wastewater Treatment Processes
DownloadFall 2024
Nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, significantly contributes to the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), with a global warming potential 300 times that of CO2 and also notorious for its ozone-depleting effect. Modelling can be a valuable alternative to...

Spring 2018
Many municipalities in Canada and all over the world use chloramination for drinking water secondary disinfection to avoid DBPs formation from conventional chlorination. However, the long-lasting monochloramine (NH2Cl) disinfectant can pose a significant risk to aquatic life through its...

Municipal Wastewater Treatment Using Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR): Mechanisms, Performance and Microbial Community
DownloadSpring 2024
The current drive for energy neutrality, drastic reduction in energy costs and increasingly stringent wastewater discharge rules has led to the quest for the development of more energy efficient and effective wastewater treatment technologies. MABR is one of these developing technologies. MABR is...

Optimizing Anaerobic Treatment to Enhance Energy Recovery from High-Strength Waste and Wastewater
DownloadFall 2024
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a promising technology for the sustainable treatment of high-strength waste and wastewater, offering the potential for energy recovery. However, various factors can inhibit the AD process, requiring well-balanced operational strategies to optimize different stages of...

Partial Nitrification Processes for Ammonium Rich Sludge Thickening Lagoon Supernatant Treatment
DownloadFall 2018
In wastewater treatment, nitrogen removal is becoming increasingly challenging to meet the more stringent standards and regulations. At local wastewater treatment plant, nitrogen removal is challenging when the plant was experiencing shock loadings. Thus, improving the nitrogen removal is...

Resource recovery strategies for municipal water planning and management: a system dynamics modeling approach
DownloadFall 2023
The true value of water has not yet been captured in municipal water planning and management, despite the increasing availability of technologies designed to create value from wastewater. Adapting system processes for water reclamation, energy generation, and production of other outputs (such as...

Fall 2014
Storm water ponds have been widely constructed over the past four decades as part of municipal storm water drainage systems. These ponds are designed to collect neighborhood storm water run-off to reduce flooding, but can also improve the quality of water discharged to surface water bodies by...

Spring 2014
Municipal stormwater retention ponds are a means of managing stormwater in urban settings. Due to the temporal and spatial variations involved with stormwater, numerous contaminants find their way in stormwater retention pond, creating various problems to mitigate against. The City of Edmonton...

Spring 2011
This study examines the effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO1) biofilm, with a concentration of cells similar to that reported for saturated aquifers, on the transport of poly(acrylic acid) stabilized nanoscale zero valent iron (pnZVI) in 14 cm long, saturated, laboratory packed columns, with...

The Influence of EPS Conditioning Films on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Adhesion to Solid Surfaces
DownloadFall 2010
Bacterial adhesion to inert surfaces in aquatic environments is highly dependent on the surface properties of the substratum, which could be altered significantly by the formation of conditioning films. The impacts of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and its several representative...
