Direct potable reuse is a form of wastewater reuse where advanced-treated wastewater is introduced directly to the drinking water distribution system. Bench-scale reactors will be used to simulate drinking water distribution system pipes before and during the transition to direct potable reuse conditions. Microbial water quality parameters will...

Recovering nutrients from wastewater can solve two problems: reducing eutrophication by eliminating nutrient discharges to the environment, and producing a local fertilizer that has lower embedded energy than industrial fertilizer. Our research aims to produce fertilizer by concentrating ammonium from wastewater and urine using struvite precipitation (for phosphorus) and ion...

Despite being less than 1% of the total volume of liquid treated in wastewater treatment plants, urine is responsible for over 80% of the nitrogen in a treatment plants' influent stream. Commonly, this influx of nitrogen is only partially treated, leading to the release of excess nitrogen into the environment...
