Nutrient Removal 2009 will cover the latest experiences in research, design, and operation of nutrient removal systems at municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants through interactive workshops, technical sessions, an exhibition, and facility tours. Water quality degradation continues as a result of stressors, including excess nutrients. While some researchers and operators focus on state-of-the-art approaches, others are grappling with new equipment and operational procedures associated with basic biological nutrient removal. These changes are being evaluated and implemented in an environment of higher energy costs and a need to have more sustainable operations. This conference will bring together perspectives from around the world to discuss and debate the current state of nutrient removal approaches.

The objectives of this conference are to foster discussion and debate on nutrient removal; examine research, design, and operational issues related to nutrient removal; provide a forum for the discussion of policy and management approaches to nutrient control.
