Bioprocess,
Bioremediation, and Biotechnology
Bioreactor processing of environmental materials and engineering scale-up of biologically-based environmental reactions are being explored. Areas of specialization include:
- Composting
- Waste Reuse
- Biosolids Processing
- Management of Environmental Biotransformations
- Engineering Optimization of Wetlands
Selected Projects
- Algae Biotechnology for Nutrient Removal in Wastewater Treatment Lagoons
- Detection of Microbes that Biodegrade MTBE Contamination
- Laboratory-Scale Biological Phosphorus Removal
- Land Application of Biosolids and Animal Manure to Reclaim Disturbed Utah Rangelands
- Microbe-Based Processes for Producing Bioplastic Materials
- Phosphorus Control and Management Using Biological Processes
- Pilot-Scale Biological Phosphorus Removal from Lagoon Wastewater Treatment Systems
- Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) Instrumentation
- Use of Anaerobically Digested and Composted Biosolids to Reclaim Arid Rangelands
