Abstract
The USU Frulact Project aims to reduce the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) in wastewater from the Frulact facility in Logan, Utah. By using Rotating Algae Biofilm Reactors (RABRs) combined with activated sludge, the project seeks to break down pollutants and lower BOD levels. This innovative system also explores the potential of algae for bioproducts. Ultimately, the project works toward cleaner water, healthier ecosystems, and sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment.
