Dr. Mancl will discuss her new wastewater treatment technology that helped an Ohio meat processor save over $10 million dollars. Background: A sand bioreactor system was developed based on research conducted at The Ohio State University. This university-industry partnership saved jobs, money, and is protecting the environment with effluents exceeding the quality of conventional treatment systems. Clean, quiet, and simple are the best words to describe the appearance of this new sand bioreactor system constructed at the meat processing facility. In fact, some people might mistake the treatment system for a park. No odor emanating from the plant is a feature neighbors most appreciate.
