• Steel Byproducts Cut E.coli and Phosphate Levels in Pilot-Scale Stormwater Filtration Study
  Posted: Jun 19
  Recent research conducted at South Dakota State University shows that E. coli contamination of stormwater runoff was reduced by an average of more than 44%, and phosphate levels were also significantly reduced in a pilot stormwater filtration that used steel chips and steel slag as a filtration media.
• Stream Flow Research Will Protect Infrastructure From Scour and Erosion
