Abstract
Woodchip denitrification bioreactors are an effective practice to reduce nitrate-nitrogen export from tile drainage. However, there are challenges for wide-scale implementation due to limited woodchip supply and rising woodchip costs. Corncob, a locally available carbon source, was investigated as a potential alternative. Additionally, there are opportunities to improve nitrate removal using corncobs, which has been demonstrated in lab studies. This work aimed to evaluate nitrate removal using pilot-scale corncob-amended woodchip bioreactors.
