American Water, a New Jersey-based publicly traded water and wastewater utility company, has been awarded a research grant from The WateReuse Research Foundation to study human pathogens removal through a variety of wastewater treatment processes
The two-year study, which will cost $590,546 with funding from the WateReuse Research Foundation and American Water, is being conducted in collaboration with MWH Global and Corona Environmental Consultants Inc.
The research project team will consist of Zia Bukhari, a senior environmental scientist with American Water, as the principal investigator. American Water's Mark LeChevallier, Joan Oppenheimer of MWH Global and Tim Bartrand of Corona Environmental Consultants will be co-principal investigators.
Reusing potable water sources to augment freshwater supplies has gained acceptance as technology has improved and scarcity issues have increased. However, the variety of differentwastewatertreatment processes needs tobe characterized to ensure appropriate downstream treatment is employed to meet future regulations and to protect public health, Bukhari says.
