The purpose of this project was to determine alternative carbon sources for biological denitrification at Upper Blackstone Water Pollution Abatement District (UBWPAD). Carbon sources tested consisted of various wastes: Micro-C, beverage waste, unrefined biodiesel production waste, sugar production waste, Dow Chemical waste, Elite Chemical waste, and deicer fluid. The carbon sources were evaluated for their denitrification rate in a kinetic reactor tests; those reaching 70% or more in denitrification extent were subjected for final testing. A design for the addition of the alternative carbon sources to the denitrification process was developed for UBWPAD.
