Municipal Nutrient Removal Tecnnologies Reference Documents
EPA Office of Water has released a new guide to help reduce wastewater nutrients. The guide will help municipal and utility owners and operators, engineers, local decision makers, and state permit writers and regulators plan cost-effective nutrient removal projects for municipal wastewater treatment facilities. The Municipal Nutrient Removal Technologies Reference Document presents detailed technical and cost information about existing nutrient removal technologies and information on emerging technologies. This document includes detailed process descriptions, performance and reliability data, and operating factors for processes that can remove nitrogen, phosphorus, or both from municipal wastewater. It also includes nine in-depth facility case studies from around the country and one in Canada. Find the Municipal Nutrient Removal Technologies Reference Document under publication here
