The Future of Nutrient Removal Research and Practice ... Revisited

In 1914, Ardern and Lockett introduced activated sludge technology to wastewater treatment facilities (Ardern, E.; Lockett, W.T. [1914] Experiments on Oxidation of Sewage without the Aid of Filters. J. Soc. Chem. Ind., 33, 523) and provided a means for larger cities to begin protection of water supplies and prevention of waterborne illness. Research completed since the inception of this process developed a more complete understanding to permit greater control of the bacterial processes involved, hence development of nutrient modifications to activated sludge.
