An exploratory data analysis of energy consumption of WWTP. Influencing factors and possible methods for benchmarking
(2016-06-27)Wastewater treatment plants are relevant energy consumers. As they carry out complex operations submitted to large variability caused by, among others, the influent and loading variations, the assessment of the performance ... -
Benchmarking energy use in wastewater treatment plants
(2017-05-15)Academic research on benchmarking energy efficiency predominately focuses on two main streams of alternatives techniques: parametric and nonparametric. Since there is no agreement on the consistency of their estimates, the ... -
BIOCHEM: A new methodology for designing mixed-culture bioprocesses assisted with bioenergetics models
(2017-10)Mixed culture fermentations (MCFs) are recognised as an inexpensive means to produce high-added-valueproducts fromlow-grade biomass However, developing a new bioprocess based on this technology is a challenging task. ... -
Bringing frequency response analysis closer to Chemical Engineering
(2020)Process control has traditionally been considered a difficult subject among chemical engineering students. A particular aspect that differentiates process control from process design related courses is also that the former ... -
Can nitrogen removal be a win-win situation?
(2017-10-03) -
Comparative energy efficiency of Swiss wastewater treatment plants based on economic foundations
(2018-06-12)As the number of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) increases worldwide and the effluent quality requirements become more demanding, the issue of energy efficiency has been attracting increasing attention from an environmental ... -
Computer-Aided Design of Active Packaging/Food System for extended shelf life
(2018-09-07)Common dynamic models of active packaging are focused on the mass transfer of the antimicrobial agents. Nevertheless, the interaction of the antimicrobial agent with the food microorganisms is usually neglected, despite ... -
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 ... -
Design of Carvacrol-based active packaging for extending fresh fish shelf-life
(2019)Shelf life is the time-span where the product is in good conditions for consumption, from either safety or quality points of view. Shelf life is defined to guarantee food safety (“use-by” date), or to guarantee both ... -
Designing mixed-culture bioprocesses by means of bioenergetics models
(2017-11)Mixed culture fermentations (MCFs) are recognised as an inexpensive means to produce high-added-valueproducts from low-grade biomass. However, developing a new bioprocess based on this technology is a challenging task. ... -

Electron bifurcation mechanism and homoacetogenesis explain product yields in mixed culture anaerobic fermentations
(2017-10-19)Anaerobic fermentation of wastes with mixed cultures is a promising avenue to treat residues while producing added-value products. But thus far, the lack of control and prediction of the microbial community behaviour hinders ... -
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 ... -
Energy Monitoring And Benchmarking In Wastewater Treatment Plants Using The ENERWATER Approach
(2018-06-26)One of the higher costs of wastewater services is the energy consumption. The total electricity consumption in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) corresponds to about 1% of the total electricity consumption per year of a ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of protein composition influence on yields and selectivity of volatile fatty acids production
(2019)The influence of protein composition on volatile fatty acids (VFA) production is not clear and need to be further studied to valorise protein residual streams. For this purpose, two continuous stirred tank reactors were ... -
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 ...
