Title: The ABCs of Bioaugmentation
Description:
Bioaugmentation involves the supplemental addition of microbes to treatment systems to enhance performance. This session will provide use cases, methodological approaches, underlying mechanisms, and best practices for how to identify deficiencies in the microbiological ecosystem and determine viable bioaugmentation options. The session will also address the use of new tools such as metagenomics and bioengineering for solving treatment challenges involving emerging contaminants like PFAS and 1,4 Dioxane. The session will be valuable for operators, engineers and process supervisors seeking to develop a comprehensive understanding of how bioaugmentation tools can be utilized as an effective tool for assuring targeted treatment outcomes. Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Develop a comprehensive understanding of bioaugmentation, its role in enhancing wastewater treatment operations and application approaches.
2. Provide practitioners with information necessary for the practical implementation of bioaugmentation in wastewater treatment.
3. Present information on new approaches using biological engineering for addressing treatment challenges involving emerging contaminants like PFAS and 1,4 Dioxane.
