Why Attend
The MPC project of Removal of Escherichia coli from stormwater using recycled steel byproduct filtration: Laboratory to field scale demonstration covers the fact that stormwater runoff is the one of the most common forms of non-point source pollution, which can degrade surface water quality. Fecal indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) have been recognized as major contaminants that prevent the potable and non-potable reuse of stormwater runoff. This project aims at developing a low-cost media filtration technology using recycled steel byproducts to remove E. coli from stormwater. Recycled steel byproducts including steel chips and steel slag were evaluated in this study.
