Elucidation of the Physical Separation and Accumulation Mechanisms of Three Distinct Layers in Grease Traps. [PDF]
Water Environ ResGrease trap performance is dominated by sludge accumulation rather than surface scum. This study reveals the mechanisms governing three‐layer formation and provides design criteria and a mechanistic model to improve grease trap efficiency and prevent sewer blockages.

Comparative modeling of greenhouse gas emissions from source-separated organics: A case study in New York City. [PDF]
J Environ QualAbstract Many urban areas are interested in quantifying the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of their organic waste management systems. The biosolids emissions assessment model (BEAM) offers a means to model emissions associated with organic waste management systems and compare the GHG footprints of different management options.

Nutrient and carbon partitioning and performance for swine manure management technologies. [PDF]
J Environ QualAbstract Swine manure management systems (MMSs) are critical for nutrient cycling. Common swine MMS storage types in the United States are deep pits, anaerobic lagoons, and slurry storages. This study presents a synthesis of literature documenting nutrient and carbon (C) partitioning via a material mass balance approach for four manure treatment ...
