  1. 1. The Potential of Dissolved Air Flotation for PFAS Reduction in Norrvatten's Future Waterworks

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Madeleine Vikström; [2023]
    Keywords : PFAS4; drinking water production; dissolved air flotation; granular activated carbon filter; sludge management; PFAS4; dricksvattenproduktion; flotation; granulärt aktivt kolfilter; slamhantering;

    Abstract : Norrvatten är en av Sveriges största dricksvattenproducenter. Med ett ökande behov av en större produktionskapacitet och nya regleringar, planerar dem att förbättra sin reningsprocess. En aspekt som kräver omfattande undersökning är val av reningsmetod för att nå den nya gränsen från Livsmedelsverket för fyra PFAS kemikalier. READ MORE

  3. 2. Experimental Study of Flow Fields in Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Shea Nee Chew; [2023]
    Keywords : Moving bed biofilm reactors; Biofilm carriers; Mechanical mixing; Mixer configurations; Carrier mixing; Biofilmsreaktorer med rörlig bädd; Biofilmsbärare; Mekanisk blandning; Blandarkonfigurationer; Bärarblandning;

    Abstract : With the rise in global energy prices, as well as energy consumption being the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, biofilm-based systems utilized for wastewater treatment, such as moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs), have grown in popularity for their lower energy consumption compared to conventional activated sludge processes. However, this technology requires large amounts of energy to constantly distribute and suspend its biofilm carrier within the reactor by either aerators or mechanical mixers. READ MORE

  4. 3. Potential for Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal in an activated sludge system for greywater

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Mehrzad Ghassemi; [2022]
    Keywords : Greywater; EBPR; Phosphorus; Biological treatment; Water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As the world's population grows, concerns about water scarcity and rising pollution such as phosphorus and nitrogen have increased significantly. Greywater has been considered by researchers as an ideal alternative to fresh water for decades, and several projects have been implemented to treat and recycle it for various reuse purposes.

  5. 4. Thermochemistry modelling applied to activated sludge process: Feasibility assessment

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Maylis Fournier; [2022]
    Keywords : activated sludge; modelling; thermodynamics; microbial growth; aktivt slam; modellering; termodynamik; mikrobiell tillväxt;

    Abstract : Aktivt slam är en biologisk process som används i stor utsträckning för rening av avloppsvatten, där bakterier som odlas under luftiga förhållanden avlägsnar organiska ämnen och näringsämnen från förorenat vatten. För industriell verksamhet modelleras denna process för att representera och förutsäga biologiska fenomen. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigation into the Removal of the By-product NDMA (N-Nitrosodimethylamine) from Ozonation Process in Wastewater Treatment

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Zehao Li; [2021]
    Keywords : Water resources engineering; Ozonation; NDMA; Wastewater; pharmaceutical; Diclofenac; Ibuprofen; Naproxen; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In people’s modern life, daily usage of artificial compounds such as active pharmaceuticals ingredients (API) is usual. These compounds are likely to end up as micropollutants in the municipal wastewater. Municipal wastewater is the major source of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment. READ MORE
