Applied Ecological Services, Inc., has designed, engineered, constructed or overseen the construction of numerous wetland biofiltration projects. Project goals have been to clean up macronutrient-burdened water from industrial sources, agricultural systems and sewage treatment facilities. Septic management has been involved in many projects where biofilters have been created to manage stormwate...

The efficient operation of any biological treatment process requires pre-treatment of incompatible pollutants such as acids, bases, oil, toxic substances, etc. which hamper the treatment of other major components which are otherwise degradable. The pre-treatment of alkaline waste-waters, generated from various industries like textile, paper & pulp, potato-processing industries, etc., having a p...

Rapid industrial growth has led to elevated discharges of toxic chemicals and nutrients in water bodies. The level of a particular pollutant discharged into water bodies depends on industrial activities in the vicinity. Industries such as textiles, mining, tanneries, metal plating, fertilizer and agroindustries, batteries, pesticides, ore refineries, petrochemicals, and paper manufacturing are ...

Chemical flocculants are generally used in drinking water and wastewater treatment due to their efficacy and cost effectiveness. However, the question of their toxicity to human health and environmental pollution has been a major concern. In this article, we review the application of some chemical flocculants utilized in water treatment, and bioflocculants as a potential alternative to these ch...

Djendjen River is one of the largest rivers in the region of Jijel (Algeria). Human activities such as urban discharges, industrial, agricultural, and livestock have significant effects on the quality of water. The present study attempts to evaluate the quality of water along the banks of the Djendjen River at different sampling sites, using physico-chemical and bacteriological methods. The col...

Moringa oleifera seeds contain about 40% of highly valued oil due to its wide range of applications, from nutritional issues to cosmetics or biodiesel production. The extraction of Moringa oil generates a waste (65%-75% of seeds weight) which contains a water soluble protein able to be used either in drinking water clarification or wastewater treatment. In this paper, the waste of Moringa oleif...

In this article, we describe the selection of medium components like pH, temperature, carbon sources and nitrogen sources for the optimal production of extracellular peroxidase by Coprinus sp. (AKL 02) with a series of experiments which is important for growth and enzyme production. The high quality enzyme elicited by the fungus has greater potential for industrial application especially waste ...
