This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $360,222 to Georgia Tech Research Corp to advance novel biological treatment strategies that leverage comammox and anammox bacteria for sustainable nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment. The research objectives include evaluating the synergy between these specialized bacteria, determining the impact of dissolved oxygen on nitrite provision for anammox bacteria, and conducting pilot-scale...
This $200,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation project grant, awarded to Purdue University, aims to develop approaches for the joint operation of coupled municipal drinking water and electric power distribution networks. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year project include: Developing operational planning and real-time control strategies for these coupled water-power networks under uncertainty. Designing...
This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to engineer drinking water biofilms to achieve long-term biological stability and resistance to invasion, especially by pathogens. The principal goal is to create a competitive model microbial consortium specific to drinking water systems. The research will use bench-scale coupon experiments and a cell printing method to control initial biofilm colonization, and a unique plumbing...
This $550,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research at the University of Colorado to develop an innovative, pressure-driven distillation process for advanced water treatment. The project aims to reinvent distillation as an efficient and selective method to produce high-quality water from impaired sources like wastewater and seawater, using less energy than conventional heat-driven distillation. The research team...
