Nutrient Removal From Clarified Municipal Wastewater Using Microalgae Raceway Ponds

Abstract: Nutrient Removal From Clarified Municipal Wastewater Using Microalgae Raceway PondsJustin Andrew Kraetsch Shallow, mixed raceway ponds can be used to grow microalgae for the dual purposes of wastewater treatment and biofuel feedstock production. To improve the environmental sustainability of microalgae biofuels and to alleviate resource limitations, nutrients remaining after biofuel production should be recycled for additional cultivation. This thesis considers three topics: wastewater treatment by algae, nitr… Show more

“…As noted in Metcalf and Eddy, constituents like ammonia and inorganic phosphorus can typically vary between 14 to 41 mg/L-N and 1.6 to 4.7 mg/L-P, respectively (Metcalf and Eddy, Inc., 2003). The primary clarified effluent grab entering the algae raceway ponds in San Luis Obispo have an average ammonia concentration of 36.6 mg/L-N and inorganic phosphorus concentration of 3.7 mg/L-P (Kraetsch, 2015). These averages are from grab samples collected at the same time of the day on each individual sample day.…”
