Nuclear power: ecologically sustainable or energy hot potato? A case study
We are facing the prospect of fossil fuels running out. The magnitude of the hydrocarbon resource gap and lack of alternative energy sources leaves us with few choices. The gap between supply and demand must be met through either increased efficiency or increased nuclear/renewable energy production. With the proposed development of ten nuclear power stations, government appears committed to using ...

Project - SOCORRO - Seeking Out Corrosion, before it is too late
Project Overview An often underestimated threat to our economy is steel corrosion, in any kind of industry where water meets steel: the maritime sector, ports, water purification plants, energy production, offshore renewable energy production. The costs pertaining to corrosion are immense: a DNV-GL report sets all-round corrosion costs at more than 500 billion EUR for the European region alone, ...

Optimization of municipal sludge and grease co-digestion using disintegration technologies
Many drivers tend to foster the development of renewable energy production in wastewater treatment plants as many expectations rely upon energy recovery from sewage sludge, for example through biogas use. This paper is focused on the assessment of grease waste (GW) as an adequate substrate for co-digestion with municipal sludge, as it has a methane potential of 479–710 LCH4/kg VS, as well as the ...

Going further with food: The rise of channelling food waste for biogas production
Almost 50% of the total amount of food thrown away in the UK comes from our homes, representing over seven million tonnes of food and drink wasted from British households annually. Wasting this food costs the average household £470 a year. In fact, if we all stop wasting food that could have been eaten, the benefit to the planet would be the equivalent of taking 1 in 4 cars off the road ...

Impact of microwave treatment on properties of waste activated sludge
The impact of changing microwave (MW) operational parameters such as temperature, intensity, contact time, and sludge concentration on the physic–chemical and microbiological properties of waste activated sludge (WAS), as well as on biogas production have been investigated. Results obtained indicated that sludge solubility increases with the increase of MW contact time and temperature. At an ...

Biohydrogen production by anaerobic co–digestion of press mud and domestic sewage
Anaerobic fermentation of press mud and sewage for biohydrogen production was conducted in six batch reactors for various total solid concentrations between 5–8.5%. Chemical oxygen demand, pH, total solid % for biohydrogen produced were monitored regularly. The experiments were conducted for 40 days to optimise the total solid content of the feed for maximum biohydrogen production. Effect of ...
