Abstract: Thraustochytrium striatum was selected as a model protist to test the possibility of protist granulation for its good potential of organic waste valorization. Initially, only a selective settling velocity of 9 m h…

This pilot is a gold mine of our team! About eight journal papers and two Ph.D. dissertations have been produced from this one pilot reactor. It tested our hypotheses of the continuous…

The funded study (DE-EE0009667) will be performed between 10/01/21 and 9/30/2025. It targets understanding the characteristics critical to turning low-cost, abundant municipal solid waste (MSW) into conversion-ready feedstocks for producing biofuels through…

Finally Dr. Wang's research team is able to come out and get together for a series of field tours of our pilot experimental systems stationed in utilities across Washington DC metropolitan area.…

It is a great honor and timely impetus for Zhaohui to received this NSF award. His continuous flow aerobic granulation research is at the stage of field test in real wastewater with…

Abstract: Hydraulic selection pressure that selectively washes out flocculent microbial sludge has been a conventional approach to drive flocculent systems towards aerobic granulation. Such substantial sludge washout inevitably compromises treatment performance during…

Abstract: The structure of nitrifying granules can remain stable for 305 days in a granule membrane bioreactor (GMBR) without hydraulic selection pressure; however, majority of the granule structure was actually inactive due to mass…
