  1. 1. Extreme renovation of concrete buildings

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Simon Hardo; Daniel Maher; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The global climate crisis and the need to reduce carbon emissions have brought attention to the construction and real estate sector, which has a significant environmental footprint. However, many real estate developers opt for demolition and new construction instead of renovating existing buildings due to challenges such as low floor heights and stringent sustainability requirements.

  3. 2. Modelling the full-scale N2O emissions from wastewater treatment plants for identifying mitigation strategies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Naga Deepika Peddamudium; [2023]
    Keywords : Modelling; simulation; ASM2dISS; N2O production pathways; N2O emission factor; mitigation strategies; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, which primarily originate from the biological nitrogen removal process, dominate the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). N2O production occurs through dynamic microbial pathways that have a significant impact on the environment compared with other GHG emissions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Friend or foam? Improved methods for stunning of pigs with foam : effects of repetition and scent on pig reaction to foam

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Miranda Blad; [2022]
    Keywords : pig; behaviour; stunning; foam; smell; scent; fear assessment; animal welfare;

    Abstract : There are several methods available for stunning of pigs before slaughter, but the most frequently used at larger abattoirs are electricity and CO2. There are advantages and disadvantages with both methods. As there is no method that does not have major animal welfare drawbacks. READ MORE

  5. 4. Simulation of carbon- monoxide rich syngas through gasification and co-gasification of biomass.

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Musasa Kayiba Tracy; [2022]
    Keywords : Gasification; biomass;

    Abstract : Syngas is an interesting energy source for metallurgical processes, as an energy carrier syngas is an efficient way of utilizing the energy in biomass. Utilizing syngas in fuming processes as a carbon source instead of coal was an approach to minimize carbon dioxide emissions produced in the fuming process. READ MORE

  6. 5. Improving the Efficiency of Thermal Energy Usage in Residential Buildings by Heat Recovery from Wastewater

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Pranjal Jain; Khaled Alturkmani; [2021]
    Keywords : Wastewater; Heat Exchangers; Heat Pumps; Biofilms;

    Abstract : This study aims to rationalize the consumption of thermal energy in residential buildings by recovering heat from wastewater inside the building before entering the central sewage network outside the building, by conducting an analytical study for a residential tower in Syria to find out the coverage percentage of the heat energy recovered from wastewater for the heating and domestic hot water loads needed for the tower, and calculating the percentage of reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) gases. It is a simple technology as the thermal recovery system consists of three main components, which are in order: a wastewater tank, heat exchangers, and a heat pump. READ MORE
