  • Anaerobic co-digestion of acid whey and sewage sludge for enhanced renewable energy production

    Creator:
    Cole, Emerson
    Abstract:
    Acid whey is the largest byproduct of the dairy industry but to date has few useful applications and is frequently discarded as a result. However, acid whey has a high carbon content, making it a suitable co-substrate for anaerobic co-digestion with raw sewage sludge. The synergistic effect of co-digestion has...

  • Bruce Starker Arts Park Water Quality Testing to Determine Source of Algal Growth in Dunawi Creek and Evaluate Treatment Efficiency of Grass Swale

    Creator:
    Nelson, Miranda F.
    Abstract:
    Urban stormwater runoff contains pollutants that have a detrimental effect on pond water quality and watershed water quality. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs), such as a constructed wetland, can treat these pollutants through processes like infiltration, adsorption, and plant uptake. It is hypothesized that the surface-runoff fed pond at Bruce...

  • Bioswales for Stormwater Treatment: Characterization of Soil Contamination

    Creator:
    Honeycutt, Nora C.
    Abstract:
    The OSU-Benton County Green Stormwater Infrastructure Research (OGSIR) Facility was created to test various methods of stormwater treatment. At this facility, runoff from the Benton County Development Department property is captured and pumped into a bioswale. This bioswale is comprised of layers of rock, gravel, sand, and soil, and is...

  • Photocatalytic Treatment of Stormwater Runoff using Puralytics LilyPad

    Creator:
    Laurance, Jon
    Abstract:
    Stormwater picks up pollutants as it flows over impervious surfaces before ending up in water resources. Best management practices are implemented to remove pollutants from stormwater. Puralytics manufactures a stormwater treatment product called the LilyPad. The LilyPad consists of a titanium dioxide nanoparticle photocatalyst immobilized on polypropylene substrate. Treatment of...

  • Removing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Assay Interference from Landfill Leachate Samples Treated with Fenton's Reagents

    Creator:
    Palmer, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Incompatibility between Fenton’s Reagents and a potassium dichromate COD test provides interference that prevent accurate measurements of the concentration of organics from oxidized samples. Several treatment options were tested to remove this interference. Oxidation of reagents was eliminated as a potential method for removal of interference due to sample contamination....

  • Effect of Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) and Inoculum Source on Co-digestion in Batch Anaerobic Digesters

    Creator:
    Shannon, Ceili T.
    Abstract:
    Anaerobic co-digestion of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) for increased methane (CH4) production has been of increasing interest to municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) due to the potential economic benefit of using the produced biogas for cogeneration of energy. FOG loading increase must be done carefully to mitigate the risk...

  • Hydrogel Immobilizations for Anammox Enrichment

    Creator:
    Stein, Grant
    Abstract:
    Long delays in reactor startup due to high biomass washout have hindered the development of efficient and cost-effective wastewater treatments based on the anammox process. This can be remedied with efficient biomass retention systems. In the following study, anammox bacteria were successfully enriched in hydrogel immobilizations of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)...

  • Assessing the risk of spreading antibiotic resistance through the reuse of treated wastewater

    Creator:
    Smesrud, Logan M.
    Abstract:
    Reclaimed water is a key source in overall global water management and sustainability; however, small concentrations of antibiotics in treated wastewater effluent threaten induction of antibiotic resistance in naturally-occurring soil bacteria and pathogens in irrigated soils. This type of chronic exposure has the potential to lead to more severe food...

  • Anammox Enrichment and Kinetics

    Creator:
    Kannan, Rahasudha
    Abstract:
    Anammox (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation) is a significant biogeochemical process carried out by certain bacteria, generally referred to as anammox bacteria. These bacteria have the ability to anaerobically oxidize ammonium (NH4+) with nitrite (NO2-) to form nitrogen gas (N2) without an organic carbon source. While anammox bacteria are found in a...

  • Retention Capacity of Biochar Infiltration Columns for Escherichia coli

    Creator:
    Lesch, Samantha
    Abstract:
    With a growing demand for renewable sources of freshwater around the world, stormwater offers a potential solution. However, various pollutants can be present within stormwater, such as antibiotic-resistant bacteria, that present a danger to human health if stormwater is used for agricultural purposes. Biochar has the capability to remove bacteria...
