Biological Treatment of Turkey Processing Wastewater with Coarse/Fine Sand Filtration

https://setll.osu.edu/node/143

This study researched how well organic mater and nutrients were removed by course/fine sand filtration systems. Ammonia and phosphorus were removed while the system was in operation. To view full text, click here. ...

Treatment of Turkey Processing Wastewater Using Sand and Sand/Textile Bioreactors

https://setll.osu.edu/node/137

In order to effectively treat wastewater with sand bioreactors, slow degrading objects must be removed. This study compared coarse sand and pea gravel to textile chips in order to discover which option was a better pretreatment. To view full text, click h ...

Pretreatment of Turkey Fat in Wastewater in Sand Bioreactors

https://setll.osu.edu/node/136

Due to slow decomposition, typically fat, oil, and grease in wastewater is hard to treat. In this study, two types of sand bioreactors were set up to treat the wastewater. One set had varying depth of coarse sand while the other had varying depth of pea g ...

Biological Treatment of Cheese-Processing Effluent with Gravel/Sand Filtration

https://setll.osu.edu/node/145

This laboratory study assessed the feasibility of sand/gravel bioreactors to treat cheese-processing wastewater. Within 210 days, the BOD 5 had a removal rate of >99% and the COD has a removal rate of 85%. There were no clogging issues during the study ...

High Fat Wastewater Remediation Using Layered Sand Filter Biofilm Systems

https://setll.osu.edu/node/144

To investigate the feasibility of sand bioreactors treating butterfat supplemented with detergent, three layer reactors and two layer reactors were compared. Both options showed great COD and BOD 5 removal. However, the two layer bioreactors became clogge ...

Transformations and Accumulations of Carbon in Gravel/Sand Filters Treating Cheese Processing Wastewater

https://setll.osu.edu/node/141

This study discovers that after carbon gets trapped in the gravel/sand filter, it converts from organic to inorganic. ...

Empirical Models for Effectiveness of Single Pass Sand Filters for Wastewater Treatment

https://setll.osu.edu/node/158

Two empirical models for effectiveness of single pass sand filters for wastewater treatment were developed. Sand size and depth were found to be the two most important factors when it comes to the performance of the sand filters. ...

Onsite Wastewater Management: A Model for Success

https://setll.osu.edu/node/157

An expert panel identified elements for success in wastewater management. Two important elements are forming and sustaining a management entity. ...

Twenty Years of Success in Septic System Management

https://setll.osu.edu/node/156

Since 1980, the amount of homes has doubled around Lake Panorama. Inspections of wastewater systems began in 1986. The malfunction rate is only 1%. ...

Water Augmentation Through Onsite Wastewater Management

https://setll.osu.edu/node/155

In 1972, the Colorado legislature allowed for water augmentation plans. Augmentation plans can be used to maximize the use of water. The Crystal Lakes Development Company developed the first water augmentation plan. In 1974, water was limited for benefici ...
