Flowmeter choice affects efficiency in WWTP - Case Study
Wastewater treatment plant operators increasingly, in today's competitive climate, have to meet mandates to fine tune their plant's performance efficiency. One way to do this and save thousands of dollars is to choose the right thermal mass flow meter for your plant. To help, we have created a short guide on choosing a flow meter for waste water treatment plant applications that was recently ...

Experimental evaluation of the nitrite sensitivity coefficient in granular anammox biomass. Water Science & Technology
Abstract: Nitrite is widely reported to inhibit anammox activity and growth. One modeling approach for nitrite impairment of anammox growth is the use of a nitrite sensitivity coefficient which increases the endogenous decay coefficient of anammox bacteria proportionally to nitrite concentration. The objective of this study was to measure nitrite concentration profiles within active anammox ...

Carbon dioxide capture: an assessment of plausible ranges
The projections of energy related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) serve as point of departure for an assessment of plausible ranges of CO2 emissions that could be avoided through CO2 capture and storage measures. Scenario and time dependent, sector and fuel specific capture factors are ...

Beating treatment to enhance digestibility of fresh grass
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the most popular biomass conversion technologies. AD can be further divided into four stages: pre–treatment, digestion, gas upgrading and digestate. The main goal of pre–treatment is to improve degradability of the material in order to enhance gas production and anaerobic digester performance. Beating treatment as a new mechanical treatment technique has been ...

An end to the problem of particle emissions
Austrian biomass heating systems guarantee an 80% cut in emissions. Recent studies have shown that these modern domestic boilers offer a significant reduction in particles, emitting fewer contaminating agents than previous generation boilers and wood stoves – with more than 100mg / ml of particles. The future will be based on new biomass combustion technology which cuts dust emissions from ...

Biowaste conversion technology for household food and energy security in the Philippines: appropriate on–site small–scale rice husk waste carbonisation
Successful long–term domestic rice research to feed the rapidly increasing population in the Philippines facilitated increased production of the nation's staple from 11.786 MT in 1999 to 16.258 MT in 2008. The additional rice production has correspondingly increased the annual milled rice husk waste resource to around 3.4 MT - currently, a disposal problem for millers who often dump the waste in ...

Domestic wastewater treatment with a decentralized, simple technology biomass concentrator reactor
A new type of membrane-like aerobic reactor initially designed for the degradation of hydrocarbon-derived groundwater contaminants was tested for treating domestic wastewater. The biomass concentrator reactor (BCR) consists of an enclosed, aerated tank containing a graded filtration medium with the function of solids separation, and was previously used to treat industrial wastewaters ...

How Briquetting Press Has Enhanced The Use Of Biomass Waste
Biomass waste has been used for producing the energy and fulfilling the household needs. With the inception of briquetting press the briquettes produced from the machines are now being used for greater purposes in diverse industries. The mounting need for energy and industries are looking for alternative sources of energy for their all power needs. Other than the rising prices and frequent ...

Sludge reduction at low ozone doses: predictive effects and full-scale study
The activated sludge process is the most widely used wastewater treatment. The main drawback of this technology is the excess sludge production (ESP). The ozonation of sludge of the recirculation line is used to reduce the ESP. In this study, ozonation was applied on a fraction of sludge of the recirculation line in a full-scale plant (50,000 population equivalent) at a lower–specific ...

Enhancing the sustainable development contribution of future CDM projects in Asia
This article explores how future CDM projects can be designed to become more attractive for some Asian countries. This might be achieved by enhancing the social and environmental benefits of such projects, e.g., by transforming the existing energy supply systems, by increasing job opportunities connected to the projects and/or by using indigenous biomass resources as fuel thereby phasing out the ...

Ammonium removal in landfill leachate using SBR technology: dispersed versus attached biomass
Large concentrations and oscillations of ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) in municipal landfill leachate pose considerable constraints to its further treatment in central wastewater treatment plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate and optimize two technologies for the pre-treatment of 600 L/day of landfill leachate: in particular, to optimize their operational conditions for NH4+-N removal ...

Pellets from biomass power machine vs other gas
With the increase of society's demand for energy, the storage of fossil energy is significantly reduced. Power mining and also coal burning emissions are just one of the major aspects that trigger environmental pollution. For that reason, the development as well as use new energy has actually turned into one of the essential jobs of current social growth. Under this trend, the ...
