Edge-of-Field Runoff Capture Sized from First Principles: A Woodchip Denitrification Bioreactor for 20 Hectares of Drained Cropland

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: First-principles sizing of a woodchip denitrification bioreactor for 20 ha of drained cropland: drainage volume and nitrate load, residence-time bed sizing (612.0 m3), temperature-dependent monthly removal simulation (26.3% seasonal removal), bypass threshold at about 26.5 mm rainfall in 24 h, and stoichiometric carbon service life (26 years simulated). Design performance is SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED.
