Depending on where you live and work, nitrogen in the waste stream can be a real environmental concern. Garry Lee Espinosa, one of our senior engineers, talks with us about why jurisdictions sometimes focus on nitrogen. He breaks down the nitrogen cycle and explains why packed bed filters can be a cost-effective solution to reducing the nitrogen that makes its way back to the environment.
