Bacterial community dynamics in long‐term operation of a pilot plant using aerobic granular sludge to treat pig slurry
(Wiley, 2016-07-08)Aerobic granular sludge represents an interesting approach for simultaneous organic matter and nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment plants. However, the information about microbial communities in aerobic granular ... -
Combining submerged membrane technology with anaerobic and aerobic wastewater treatment
(2013-10-23)This thesis is framed in the field of industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. Increasingly strict legislations lead to the need of developing compact and efficient systems for the removal of both organic matter ... -
A critical comparison of methods for benchmarking energy performance in WWTPs
(2016-10-11)The energy efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is a subject of growing interests by water utility and WWTPs operators. As consequence, benchmarking in recent years has become an important tool to assess the ... -
Dairy industrial wastewater treatment using AnMBR Technology
(2014)This research project was conducted at Biothane Systems International (subsidiary of Veolia Water Technologies), located in Delft (Netherlands). Out of all the technologies provided by Biothane (anaerobic and aerobic), ... -
Energy efficiency of wastewater treatment plants. Overview of the literature and critical discussion of energy data
(2016-06-29)In response to strong growth in energy intensive wastewater treatment, public agencies and industry began to explore and implement measures to ensure achievement of the target indicated in the 2020 Climate and Energy ... -
ENERWATER project to standardize the energy audit and efficiency in municipal wastewater treatment plants
(2016-07-14)This project will develop, validate and disseminate a standardized methodology for continuously assessing, labelling and improving the overall energy performance of Waste Water Treatment Plants. The methodology will be ... -
H2020 Project ENERWATER – Quantification and reduction of energy expenditure in WWTP
(2016-11-09)Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) account for more than 1% of consumption of electricity in Europe, one of the largest shares of energy use among public industries. The aim of ENERWATER is to provide measuring tools to ... -
Operation of an innovative WWTP with environmental objectives. A model-based analysis
(Elsevier, 2016)Operation of wastewater treatment plants can be subjected to economic, energetic and/or environmental objectives, besides the compliance with effluent limits. As trade-offs between different objectives are frequently ... -
Quorum sensing versus quenching bacterial isolates obtained from MBR plants treating leachates from municipal solid waste
(MDPI, 2018)Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism dependent on bacterial density. This coordinated process is mediated by the synthesis and the secretion of signal molecules, called autoinducers (AIs). N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) ... -
Resistance and inactivation kinetics of bacterial strains isolated from the Non-chlorinated and chlorinated effluents of a WWTP
(MDPI, 2013)The microbiological quality of water from a wastewater treatment plant that uses sodium hypochlorite as a disinfectant was assessed. Mesophilic aerobic bacteria were not removed efficiently. This fact allowed for the ... -
A simplified approach for activity monitoring in complex wastewater treatment processes
(2017)The stoichiometric relations between substrate and product are the first parameter obtained for novel processes. We propose here a method for process monitoring that uses the stoichiometry matrix and a linear least square ... -
Transient and Persistent Energy Efficiency in the Wastewater Sector based on Economic Foundations
(International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE), 2020)Given the increasing importance of the wastewater sector in terms of energy usage, the understanding of the level of energy efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is useful to both the industry itself as well ...
