Methane Production and Removal in a Denitrifying Streambed
| Division: | Sciences de la santé | | Catégorie: | Intermédiaire | | Région: | Waterloo-Wellington | | Ville: | New Hamburg, ON | | École: | Cameron Heights C.I. | | Sommaire: | Denitrifying bioreactors are efficient methods of removing surface water nitrate in agricultural areas. Possible side effects include greenhouse gas production. This study demonstrates a method for limiting methane emissions (up to 73%) from a stream-bed bioreactor. Additional research is required to optimize reactor design and determine the microbial processes occurring. Increasing usage of bioreactors requires technologies to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. |
