Author:Ikumi, David SDate:2011To aid in finding the most cost effective methods for the design and operation of wastewater treatment plants, for minimization of energy consumption and cost while maximizing nutrient recovery and improving effluent quality, the purpose of ...Read more
Author:Ghoor, TasneemDate:2019Anaerobic digestion (AD) is notorious for being susceptible to failure and is regarded as unstable and sensitive. Thus, to avoid failure, anaerobic digesters are frequently operated far below their optimal level. In order to run a digester ...Read more
Author:Quevauvilliers, MatthieuDate:2021This research aims at improving the tracking of phosphorus (P) in wastewater treatment works (WWTWs) by developing a model which accurately explains the intracellular processes of phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs). Two major models: ...Read more
Author:Polorigni, Christian LeprinceDate:2020Primary sedimentation involves the separation of solids and liquid in primary settling tanks (PSTs) of wastewater treatment systems. These physical processes are described by various settling conditions such as discrete and flocculent settling, ...Read more
