GEM + UASB: Tortilla Processing - Case Study
Introduction A prominent tortilla manufacturer was designing a new production facility using nixtamal (grinding of corn) into tortillas. Prior to gaining approval for the new facility, it was imperative that Client submit a wastewater treatment plan for permit. Specific design issues, such as fire roads and utilities, required careful planning with Client’s full design team (electrical ...

Linking community profiles, gene expression and N-removal in anammox bioreactors treating municipal anaerobic digestion reject water. Environmental Science & Technology
Abstract: Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) requires 60% less oxygen and no external organic carbon compared to conventional biological nitrogen removal (BNR). Nevertheless, fullscale installations of anammox are uncommon, primarily owing to the lack of well-established process monitoring and control strategies that result in stable anammox reactor performance. The overarching goal of this ...

Study examines anaerobic digestion’s role in water, agriculture, and biofuels issues
According to a new analysis, working on both clean water and biofuels production in tandem may reap significant environmental and economic benefits. For example, using anaerobic digestion to treat manure could prevent nutrient-runoff pollution and create a renewable energy source, according to the study by EcoEngineers and Goss & Associates. Looking at Iowa farming, the analysts estimated ...

glass fused to steel tanks
After firing at 820°C-930°C high temperature, the molten glass reacts with the steel plate surface to form an inert and inorganic bond, which combines the strength and flexibility of steel and outstanding corrosion resistance of glass, so Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks can provide many advantages over standard epoxy or weld painted storage tanks. Glass-Fused-to-Steel technology is the premium ...

East Lansing Water Resource Recovery Facility, USA - Case Study
The City of East Lansing’s Water Resource Recovery Facility (formerly named the Wastewater Treatment Plant) provides wastewater treatment for the City of East Lansing, Michigan State University and Meridian Charter Township. A new environmentally friendly digester is being added to the section of the plant which handles biosolids, the industry term for anything that goes into a drain or ...

Using wastewater and high-rate algal ponds for nutrient removal and the production of bioenergy and biofuels
This paper projects a positive outcome for large-scale algal biofuel and energy production when wastewater treatment is the primary goal. Such a view arises partly from a recent change in emphasis in wastewater treatment technology, from simply oxidising the organic matter in the waste (i.e. removing the biological oxygen demand) to removing the nutrients – specifically nitrogen and ...

Microalgae growth for nutrient recovery from sludge liquor and production of renewable bioenergy
Proof-of-concept has been demonstrated for a process that will utilize nutrients from sludge liquor, natural light, and CO2 from biogas to grow microalgae at wastewater treatment plants. This process will reduce the impact of returning side-streams to the head of the plant. The produced algae will be fed to anaerobic digesters for increased biogas production. Dewatering of anaerobically digested ...

How Much Energy Exists in Wastewater?
Through technologies like anaerobic digestion, wastewater treatment plants can make use of wastewater’s latent energy. The energy potential of untreated wastewater has been widely discussed, but is there any reliable measure of how much energy is available in effluent? In the United States alone, wastewater holds enough energy potential to generate 851 trillion BTU of energy annually, ...

Disruptive Technology for Water: Energy
In his final blog on how disruptive technologies can overcome serious challenges faced by the water industry, Matt Hale, HRS Heat Exchangers’ International Sales & Marketing Director discusses the important of energy efficiency and generation. While anaerobic digestion is widely recognised as a water treatment technology around the world, its capacity for energy generation (either ...

Fats, Oils and Grease Reclamation: A Modern Perspective on Municipal Fats, Oils & Grease Management
Brian Levine discusses the growing trend of wastewater utilities to combine best practices with cutting-edge technologies, like Greasezilla, to support resource recovery, efficiency and sustainability Fats, oils and grease (FOG) are a dirty and difficult challenge for the wastewater industry. Annually, FOG costs municipalities millions of dollars to manage. When not properly intercepted, FOG can ...

Effects of the incorporation of drinking water sludge on the anaerobic digestion of domestic wastewater sludge for methane production
Water purification and wastewater treatment generate sludge, which must be adequately handled to prevent detrimental effects to the environment and public health. In this study, we examined the influence of the application of settled sludge from a drinking water treatment plant (SDWTP) on the anaerobic digestion (AD) of the thickened primary sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant ...

Study: Anaerobic Digestion Reduces Microplastics in Sludge
Microplastics, including the microbeads found in many cosmetics and household products, are an increasing source of water pollution. Anaerobic digestion can help remove microplastics — a large cause of water pollution — during the sewage treatment process Microplastics, or tiny fragments of plastic, include microbeads, the plastic pellets present in thousands of household and ...

Pollutants in Urban Wastewater and Sewage Sludge
Untitled Document Executive Summary Water policy in the European Union is aiming to promote sustainable water use and a major objective of the new Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) is the long-term progressive reduction of contaminant discharges to the aquatic environment in urban wastewater (UWW). Sewage sludge is also a product of wastewater treatment and the Urban Waste ...
