Evaluation Of The Spatial Removal Of Nitrogen In The Marshland Upwelling System, Andrea Reneé Turriciano
Evaluation Of The Spatial Removal Of Nitrogen In The Marshland Upwelling System, Andrea Reneé Turriciano
LSU Master's Theses
The Marshland Upwelling System (MUS) is an alternative onsite wastewater treatment technology designed to utilize the natural ecology of saltwater marshes to remove human-borne contaminants. Over the past twelve years, MUSs have been installed in Port Fourchon, Louisiana, Moss Point, Mississippi, and Bayou Segnette, Louisiana. The purpose of this study was to investigate the nitrogen reduction capabilities of the Bayou Segnette system. The objectives of this research were to: 1) determine the first-order removal constants necessary for the development of nitrogen transport equations, 2) explore the spatial dependencies of nitrogen concentrations within the Bayou Segnette system, and 3) determine the …

The Fate Of Nitrogen In The Marshland Upwelling System, Jeremy Fontenot
LSU Master's Theses
The Marshland Upwelling System (MUS) is an alternative method for coastal dwellers to treat their wastewater. Past studies have dealt with the removal of fecal pathogens from wastewater. However the objectives of this research were to: 1) evaluate the treatment capability of the MUS under high hydraulic loadings and cool temperatures with respect to CBOD5, TKN, TAN, NO2--N, NO3--N, TP, and PO4-P, and 2) determine the ideal flowrate and injection frequency to achieve satisfactory nitrogen removal without hydraulic failure. The artificial wastewater study was performed to evaluate the treatment of …
