Citation:
LATHAM, M. AND D. J. MURRAY. Nutrient Control Design Manual. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/F-09/036, 2009.
Impact/Purpose:
To inform the public.
Description:
The Nutrient Control Design Manual will present an extensive state-of-the-technology review of the engineering design and operation of nitrogen and phosphorous control technologies and techniques applied at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This manual will present up to date technical guidance on the selection, design and operation these technologies to a wide range of technical professionals involved in the regulation and control of nutrients discharged from WWTPs. Other current nutrient control issues such as emerging and innovative technologies and nutrient recovery and reuse will also be presented. EPA is responsible for developing technical guidance and informing wastewater professionals on the most effective and cost-efficient methods for improving nutrient removal at WWTPs.
