Across the United States, nutrient discharges from wastewater systems are being regulated at an increasing rate. Decentralized wastewater treatment systems can provide better, more reliable solutions for reducing nutrients through biological processes. In this episode, we'll talk with Bill Hensley, one of our Senior Engineers, about what those nutrients are and how we go about reducing nitrogen and other nutrients of concern.
