Dugan, N., D. Lytle, K. Kelty, D. Williams, AND C. Muhlen. Biological Ammonia Removal: From Theory to Case Studies in 20 Minutes. Presented at American Water Works Association Inorganic Contaminant Symposium, Sacramento, CA, February 05 - 06, 2013.
Impact/Purpose:
The purpose of this presentation is to disseminate results of in-house drinking water treatment research to an audience of state regulators, drinking water engineers, and utility managers.
Description:
This presentation documents the results of two pilot-scale treatment studies, in Ohio and Iowa, that investigated the biological removal of ammonia from ground water. Influent ammonia concentrations in the Ohio and Iowa studies averaged 1.3 and 3.3 mg/L - N, respectively. Both studies demonstrated complete biological conversion of ammonia to nitrate while avoiding the production of nitrite in excess of the EPA's 1.0 mg/L maximum contaminant level.
