  1. 1. High-loaded thermophilic anaerobic digestion of mixed sewage sludge : A pilot study

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Santiago Elejalde Bolaños; [2022]
    Keywords : thermophilic anaerobic digestion; volatile fatty acids; mixed sludge; organic loading rate; alkalinity; wastewater treatment plant; termofil rötning; flyktiga fettsyror; blandslam; organisk belastning; alkalinitet; avloppsreningsverk;

    Abstract : Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are important infrastructural components in a society and also important for sustainability. In a WWTP the most common treatment configuration is mechanical, biological, and chemical treatment of the wastewater. READ MORE

  3. 2. Potential of waste-derived VFAs-bearing effluents as an external carbon source for MBBR denitrification of domestic wastewater

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Seyed Reza Manafi Khosroshahi; [2022]
    Keywords : Volatile fatty acids; Denitrification; Wastewater treatment; Biological nutrient removal; Nitrate removal; Electron accepter; Carbon source; Electron doner; Moving bed biofilm reactor; Nanofiltration; VFA concentration; Discharge standards; Carriers; acclimatization; VFAs; MMBR; NF; WWTP; BNR;

    Abstract : In conventional wastewater treatment plants, methanol, ethanol, and acetate are used as carbon source for the denitrification process in the biological nutrient removal. However, growing concern regarding economical costs and carbon footprints from the fossil-based production of these chemicals have forced the companies to look for other alternatives. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effect of substrate types on fermentation of mixed cultures to produce volatile fatty acids

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Jayant Sehgal; [2022]
    Keywords : Mixed culture fermentation; Volatile fatty acids; Chemical oxygen demand; pH; starch; oil; gelatin; substrates; VFA production; Blandkulturjäsning; Flyktiga fettsyror; Kemiskt syrebehov; pH; stärkelse; olja; gelatin; substrat; VFA-produktion;

    Abstract : Innovativa teknologier, produkter och processer krävs på grund av marknadens ökande behov av bioprodukter med låga koldioxidavtryck. Idén att producera flyktiga fettsyror via biologiska processer, främst genom anaerob fermentering med blandkulturer, har återupplivats på grund av den omfattande exploateringen av oljeresurser.

  5. 4. Anaerobic digestion in continuous stirred tank reactors and plug flow reactors: : Comparison study concerning process performance

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Zeko Kocak; [2022]
    Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; municipal waste; continuous stirred tank reactor; plug flow reactor; biogas; Anaerob rötning; kommunalt avfall; kontinuerlig omrörd tankreaktor; pluggflödesreaktor; biogas;

    Abstract : Användningen av kommunalt avfall för att producera förnybar energi, huvudsaklig biogas, uppfyller 8 av Sveriges 16 miljökvalitetsmål. Två typer av rötningsprocesser som används är kontinuerligt omrörda tankreaktorer (CSTR) och pluggflödesreaktorer (PFR). READ MORE

  6. 5. Anaerobic Co-digestion of steam pretreated wheat straw and sewage sludge

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Virginia Tosi; [2021]
    Keywords : Anaerobic co-digestion; wheat straw pretreatment; nutrients availability; OLR; VFA acumulation; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Anaerobic digestion (AD) of wastes and residues is a widely applied and explored process. However, when the process is not optimized, inadequate concentrations of nutrients and inhibitory compounds are common and can lead to low maximum organic loading rates and increased risk of process problems, low organic dry solids degradation rate and reduced methane yields.
