  1. 1. Selected PFAS in the water treatment at the waste-to-energy plant in Umeå : Investigating concentration and composition of selected PFAS in different water treatment steps

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Amanda Carlund; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The present study investigated the changes in concentration and composition of five selected PFAS substances in the water treatment at the waste-to-energy plant in Umeå. The five PFAS were PFHxA, PFHpA, PFOA, PFHxS and PFOS. As PFAS exists in a variety of consumer products, they will to some extent end up in waste incineration. READ MORE

  3. 2. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Hana Faulds; [2023]
    Keywords : Cyanobacteria; pigments; microalgae; wastewater treatment; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.

  4. 3. Finding ways of optimizing coagulant dosage, for a more sustainable wastewater treatment process

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Hanna Sjöman; [2023]
    Keywords : Wastewater treatment process; coagulant dosage; COD; machine learning; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The wastewater treatment process at Oatly consists of several treatment steps of which, two are chemical treatment steps involving coagulation followed by flotation to remove phosphorous and COD. The coagulant dosage is mainly determined based on the operator’s experience and supported using results from jar tests. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Ammonium-Based Aeration Control with Iterative Set-Point Tuning in Wastewater Treatment Plants

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Tom Bärnheim; [2023]
    Keywords : adaptive control; ammonium-based aeration control; ammonium feedback control; iterative set-point tuning; process control; wastewater treatment;

    Abstract : In wastewater treatment plants, the amount of ammonium is one example of a measure to determine the quality of the effluent wastewater. Ammonium is regarded as a hazardous chemical for aqueous ecosystems and can cause eutrophication due to its high nitrogen content. READ MORE
