The propolsal for the NTS project was constructed in spring of 2013. The reuslting project constraints and criteria from the project proposal can be found below. A Link to a Pdf of the pull propolsal can also be found below.

Project Criteria:

• Concentration of modeled groundwater is 20 mg/L NO3-N and 40 mg/L SO4
• Flow rate of modeled groundwater is 0.2 gallons per minute

Project Constraints:

• The recommended system must have a short implementation time
• The recommended system must be cost effective due to limited economic support for small private water treatment systems
• The recommended system will remove at least 80% of the initial concentration of nitrate
• The recommended system must have a service period of at least 1 month
• The recommended system must be low maintenance

The final report for the Nitrate Treatability Study (NTS) for domestic single family style well drinking water delivery systems can be found in the link below.The final report details the NTS project background, technology selection, synthetic water for experiments, scale up calculations, and recommended system configuration. The project shows the process of selecting a technology, applying the technology in a laboratory setting on a small scale, and providing recommended system configurations to meet the project constraints and criteria developed in the project proposal.
