What is being done to address the problem of nutrient enrichment in the Chesapeake Bay and other estuaries?
Nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen trigger algae blooms and reduce the amount of oxygen in waterways. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) report, Effects of Nutrient Enrichment in the Nation’s Estuaries: A Decade of Change, National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment Update, said the increased nutrient pollution in U.S. estuaries is linked to human activities upstream from the waterways. However, while nutrient pollution is getting worse in many U.S. estuaries, the NOAA report cited examples of how aggressive nutrient management can reverse the trend of increased nutrient pollution. The TETRA® Denite® system is a fixed-film biological denitrification process that removes NO3-N and suspended solids in a single treatment step. The system can also be integrated with other plant treatment processes to provide superior total nitrogen and phosphorous removal. Denite is used as the final treatment step in a total nitrogen removal process to help a facility meet
