Effect of Successive Shock Events on the Performance of a Packaged Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System (PDWWTS) over 1000-Day Operation

Abstract Integration of multiple units in packaged decentralized wastewater systems (PDWWTS) makes PDWWTS vulnerable to cascading failures, where disturbances in upstream units propagate downstream. An integrated, two-compartment, methanogenic–partial nitrification–anammox (ME-AN...

Electrochemically Generated Sulfate Radicals and Singlet Oxygen for Enhanced Tetracycline Degradation and Sewage Disinfection

Abstract Electrochemical degradation of tetracycline (TC) using a mixed metal oxide (MMO) anode was investigated in the present study. The inefficiency of hydroxyl radicals for TC degradation was revealed by the minimal pollutant degradation observed in anodic oxidation and elect...

Phage treatment reduces multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms and sewage pseudomonads

Untreated wastewater can retain antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, yet phage performance is inferred from simplified host systems. We evaluated genome-resolved lytic phage ɸPRS-1 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in planktonic and single-strain biofilm assays, wastewater-derived...
