Wastewater treatment breakthrough slashes pollution, boosts sustainability for cities worldwide.
A new wastewater treatment system called IPCWWTS was developed to efficiently clean up wastewater using a process called dissolved air flotation (DAF). This system can remove pollutants like BOD, TSS, and nutrients from wastewater, making it cleaner and safer for the environment. The researchers tested this system using real wastewater from a treatment plant in Massachusetts, showing that it can work effectively in different shapes and with various equipment. This new system could be used worldwide to improve wastewater treatment processes.
