    Conditioning and Dewatering Behavior of ATAD Sludges 

    Agarwal, Saurabh (Virginia Tech, 2004-03-04)
    Autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) of sludge has been used to produce class A biosolids. With stringent EPA guidelines, more and more municipalities are looking to use this process for digestion of sludge. ...

    The Effect of Cations on Volatile Solids Destruction, Odors, and Dewatering in anaerobic digestion 

    Park, Chang Min (Virginia Tech, 2008-06-24)
    The primary purpose of this study is to understand the effects of wastewater sludge feed cations on volatile solids destruction, odor control, and dewaterability. The role of influent feed cations and addition of chemical ...

    Distribution of Colloidal Material in Activated Sludge as Influenced by Cations 

    Robbins, Steven C. (Virginia Tech, 2004-06-07)
    Activated sludge influent and effluent from five municipal wastewater treatment plants were analyzed to further elucidate the roles of aluminum, iron, and the monovalent to divalent cation ratio (M/D) on the influent and ...

    Characterization of a Creosote-Contaminated Tie Yard Site and the Effects of Phytoremediation 

    Fetterolf, Glendon J. IV (Virginia Tech, 1998-06-15)
    A creosote treatment facility was active during the 1950’s and 1960’s at a railroad tie yard site. In 1990, creosote contamination was discovered along a creek bank at the site. Phytoremediation was selected as the remedial ...
