Laboratory studies on granular filters and their relationship to geotextiles for stormwater pollutant reduction (2015)
Journal Article
Paul, P., & Tota-Maharaj, K. (2015). Laboratory studies on granular filters and their relationship to geotextiles for stormwater pollutant reduction. Water, 7(4), 1595-1609. https://doi.org/10.3390/w7041595

Applications of geotextiles within tertiary stormwater treatment systems and for stormwater infiltration can provide a substrate for biofilm formation, enabling biological treatment of contaminants. Geotextiles can serve as an efficient part of storm... Read More about Laboratory studies on granular filters and their relationship to geotextiles for stormwater pollutant reduction.

Performance of pilot-scale microbial fuel cells treating wastewater with associated bioenergy production in the Caribbean context (2015)
Journal Article
Tota-Maharaj, K., & Paul, P. (2015). Performance of pilot-scale microbial fuel cells treating wastewater with associated bioenergy production in the Caribbean context. International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering, 6(3), 213-220. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40095-015-0169-x

© 2015, The Author(s). Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology represents a form of renewable energy that generates bioelectricity from what would otherwise be considered a waste stream. MFCs may be ideally suited to the small island developing state (S...
