Predicting the Spread of Nitrosomonas on Low Deposited Porosity and Void Ratio in Coarse Formation of Degema Coastal Location

Solomon Ndubuisi Eluozo

Abstract


This paper discus the prediction of Nitrosomonas deposited in low porosity and void ratio in coarse formation, the deposition of Nitrosomonas express the behavior reflecting from the influential variables that were observed to pressure the deposition of Nitrosomonas in coarse deposited formation. Several conditions on the migration process were considered in the derived solution, this expression from the derived solution shows how the system in other ways could developed accumulation of Nitrosomonas in the study location. the derived expression has detailed the effect of every parameters that make up the system thus developing the model, the study is imperative because the system has express the effect and the comparative nature of Nitrosomonas in coarse formation, the system through the derived solution thoroughly explain the rate of these parameters effect on the accumulation of Nitrosomonas in the study environment.
