- Municipal Nutrient Removal Technologies Reference Document
This reference manual will help municipal utility owners and operators, state permit writers and regulators plan cost-effective nutrient removal projects for municipal wastewater treatment facilities.- Volume 1 (268 pp, 4.1MB, about PDF) - Detailed technical and cost information about both biological and physiochemical treatment technologies. It includes detailed process descriptions and operating factors for processes that can remove nitrogen, phosphorus, or both from municipal wastewater. Also includes data on process performance and reliability.
- Volume 2 (181 pp, 9.96MB, about PDF) - Nine in-depth facility studies that examine the factors involved in successful process design and operation, and cost analysis.
- Emerging Technologies for Wastewater Biosolids Management (PDF) (133 pp., 1.51MB, about PDF) - This guide will help municipal wastewater treatment system owners and operators find information on emerging biosolids management technologies. Featured technologies can be used to reduce the volume of residuals to be managed, produce stabilized biosolids that can be used to help improve soil fertility and tilth, or promote the recovery of energy from biosolids. Technical and cost data for more than sixty technologies are provided. An additional 25 early-stage technologies are also identified.
- Emerging Technologies for Conveyance Systems: New Installations and Rehabilitation Methods (PDF) (98 pp., 752K, about PDF) - This technology guide is intended to help municipal and utility collection system owners and operators find information about innovative and emerging technologies for the installation of new conveyance systems and the repair of existing systems. The guide also includes data on cost-effective technologies for repair and rehabilitation of existing conveyance systems and preliminary information on emerging technologies for new installations and for the repair of existing conveyance systems.
- Emerging Technologies Report on Wastewater Treatment (PDF) (190 pp., 18.2MB, about PDF) -This technology guide will help municipal wastewater treatment system owners and operators find information on emerging wastewater treatment and in plant wet weather management technologies to help them meet their current and future treatment requirements. Featured technologies can be used to reduce the capital and operation costs of wastewater treatment, provide more advanced levels nutrient removal, and better management of wet weather flows at the treatment plant. The document identifies cost effective innovative and embryonic technologies, or established technologies with innovative applications, as well as an extensive list of fully established technologies. Technical and cost data for more than sixty innovative technologies and more than twenty five embryonic technologies are provided.
- Overview to Watershed Assessments: Tools for Local Stakeholders (PDF) (29pp., 667K, about PDF) - The Watershed Management Framework provides for comprehensive, sensible water resource decisions and strategies, and addresses more effectively the full range of stakeholder concerns. The assessment phase is one of the first elements of effective water resources management. This document provides a set of tools to support watershed-level frameworks to conduct the assessment phase.
