Abstract: Abstract A point-of-use household water treatment technology, the biosand filter (BSF), has been widely adopted across over 180 countries (CAWST, 2020). However, it has a poor Escherichia coli (E. coli) removal efficiency during the first… read more here.

Abstract: Stormwater biofilters are used to attenuate the flow and volume of runoff and reduce pollutant loading to aquatic systems. However, the capacity of biofilters to remove microbial contaminants remains inadequate. While biochar has demonstrated promise… read more here.

Abstract: While high rate algal ponds (HRAPs) can provide efficient pathogen removal from wastewater, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. To address this knowledge gap, the mechanisms potentially causing Escherichia coli (E. coli) removal during microalgae-based wastewater… read more here.
