  1. 1. Trädplantering i den hårdgjorda staden : utmaningar och lösningsalternativ

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Ingela Carlgren; [2024]
    Keywords : gatuträd; urbana träd; trädplantering; gatumiljö; urban jord; kompaktering; skelettjord; makadamsubstrat; rotceller; suspended pavement;

    Abstract : Träd är viktiga delar av våra städer. De bidrar med många ekosystemtjänster, som klimatreglering, dagvattenhantering och positiva hälsoeffekter. De är också viktiga identitetsskapande element. READ MORE

  3. 2. IMPLEMENTATION OF NITROGEN RECOVERY AT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS TO COMPLEMENT ARTIFICIAL FERTILISER PRODUCTION : An investigation of the nitrogen recovery potential, energy consumption and environmental impacts at Kungsängens wastewater treatment plant in Västerås, Sweden

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Cassandra Kestran; Olivia Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ammonia stripping; Eutrophication; Fertiliser production; Gas permeable membrane; Haber-Bosch; Nitrogen management; Nitrogen recovery technologies; Nitrogen removal; Reject water;

    Abstract : As Kungsängens wastewater treatment plant is considering a move, it opens up a possibility to implement nitrogen recovery technologies that comply with current and future legislative requirements. Nitrogen recovery offers simultaneous treatment of wastewater and collection of concentrated ammonia products for fertiliser production. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Growing on the roof : But in what? Examing substrates/growing media for rooftop farming

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Mikael Brocki; [2023]
    Keywords : urban rooftop agriculture; URTA; green roof; substrate; growing medium; organic matter; compost; vegetable; crop; yield; lettuce; tomato; pore; pore-size distribution;

    Abstract : Urban Rooftop Agriculture (URTA) is a novel field within urban vegetable production, which can help create access to local food in a rapidly urbanizing world. For these systems to succeed, it is vital to implement a proper choice of substrate/growing medium (SGM). READ MORE

  6. 5. 1D Simulation of Hydraulic Cam Phaser System Utilized in Heavy Duty Vehicles : An Investigation on Attenuation of Phase Oscillations from Cam Torque Disturbances

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Johan Germundsson; [2023]
    Keywords : master thesis; cam phaser; simulation; 1D-simulation; GT-SUITE; GT-ISE; Gamma Technologies; oil aeration; oscillations; heavy-duty; engine; phaser; cam torque; stability; cam phaser system; Scania; Scalia CV;

    Abstract : Cam phasers allow improvements to the efficiency and emissions of internal combustion engines. The usage of hydraulic vane type cam phasers for heavy-duty applications have shown problems with oscillations during testing at Scania CV. To investigate the root cause of the oscillations a detailed 1-d simulation model has been created. READ MORE
