Project Background
This project is designed to evaluate the environmental effect of the direct field application of the reacted effluent to agricultural lands. A chemical reactor system, Vertical Tube Reactor (VTR), employs air to oxidize the impurities in aqueous hog waste. The process is known as 'wet oxidation'. The goal of the work proposed here is to evaluate the effectiveness of the VTR in treating wastewaters under different reactor conditions to produce water that can be reused for irrigation purposes.
