  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Evaluation of pharmaceutical removal in seven WWTPs : Efficiency of different treatment technologies

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för miljövetenskap

    Author : Viktor Munkhammar; [2023]
    Keywords : Pharmaceuticals; wastewater treatment plant; removal efficiency; biological treatment; ozonation;

    Abstract : Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are originally not constructed to remove pharmaceuticals from the wastewater. Biological treatment technologies used in many WWTPs today, e.g., activated sludge, MBBR and trickling filters, can, however, remove some pharmaceuticals well. READ MORE

  4. 3. Wastewater Treatment at Kraft Pulp Mills : Effect of temporary effluents and mitigation measures

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Hodda Shariatmadari; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Large amount of water is used in the pulp-and-paper industry. Consequently, large amount of wastewater is produced in the various production processes. In general, the pollutants of concern involve organic compounds, nutrients, including nitrogen and phosphorous, suspended solids, and chlorinated compounds. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. 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
