First Year Operation of a Dual Chamber Bioreactor for Nitrate Removal

Authors: Lindsey Murry (Iowa State University) , Michelle L. Soupir (Iowa State University) , Natasha L. Hoover (Iowa State University)

Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the nitrate-N removal characteristics across the length of two bioreactors connected in parallel. Additional aspects of interest include the hydraulic gradient along the length of the bioreactor, dissolved oxygen levels in the bioreactor, and Escherichia coli levels at the inlet and outlet of the bioreactor. This report has preliminary results for the first year of the bioreactor operation.
