  • Implement Software Solutions that Support and Enhance Your Mission

    Whether you’re heading toward clinical trials or on the path to commercialization, implement technology infrastructure that keeps pace. The last thing you need in a fast-moving industry is for your business management solutions to lag behind.

    As a leading life science technology consultant, we can help you streamline operations and ensure compliance, allowing stakeholders to do what they do best: develop new medicines for patients who need them. Sikich has helped over 250 Life Sciences companies grow from pre-revenue to commercialization quickly and painlessly.

  • SimpleStep ELISA® kits are sandwich ELISA assays that we have developed to be as simple and effective as possible. Unlike traditional sandwich ELISAs, which take more than three hours to run, SimpleStep ELISA kits generate data in just 90 minutes without compromising performance, using only one wash step and recombinant antibodies for exceptional specificity.

  • GIS-centric solution for permitting, licensing and land management.

  • ProPharma has deep expertise across all signal detection and management activities, including validation, prioritization, and assessment using data from a wide range of sources that are relevant for signal detection for the individual product(s). We are also fully trained and experienced in the EudraVigilance Data Analysis System (EVDAS) functionality and can support MAHs to comply with their obligations for signal detection and management. We leverage our robust knowledge to select the most efficient and effective method(s) for each product that is compliant with legislative requirements.

About Nutrient Removal

Nutrient removal from wastewater consists of treating wastewater to remove nitrogen and phosphorus before it reenters natural waterways. High levels of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater cause eutrophication, a process where excess nutrients stimulate excessive plant growth such as algal blooms and cyanobacteria. The decomposition of the algae by bacteria uses up the oxygen in the water causing other organisms to die. This creates more organic matter for the bacteria to decompose. In addition, some algal blooms can produce toxins that contaminate drinking water supplies.

As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program regulates point sources, such as municipal wastewater treatment plants, that discharge pollutants as effluent into the waters of the United States. In recent years, many of the States’ environmental bodies have lowered nutrient limits to arrest eutrophication. Maryland’s effort to protect the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries is perhaps the most notable example of nutrient removal in the US. Nutrient removal continues to be a growing area of focus for wastewater treatment throughout the world.   

The removal of nitrogen and phosphorus require different nutrient removal processes. To remove nitrogen, the nitrogen is oxidized from ammonia to become nitrate through a process called nitrification. This process is then followed by denitrification where the nitrate is reduced to nitrogen gas which is released to the atmosphere and removed from the wastewater.

Nitrification is a two-step aerobic process which typically takes place in aeration tanks. Denitrification requires anoxic conditions to encourage the appropriate biological conditions to form. The activated sludge process is often used to reduce nitrate to nitrogen gas in anoxic or denitrification tanks.

Phosphorus can be removed biologically using polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) which accumulate large quantities of phosphorus within their cells and separate it from treated water. Phosphorus removal can also be achieved by chemical removal. Once removed as sludge, phosphorus may be stored in a land fill. However, many municipalities and treatment facilities are looking to resell the biosolids for use in fertilizer.
