  1. 6. 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.

  3. 7. Evaluating the suitability of carbon source from fermentation of primary filter sludge for biological nutrient removal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Sanna Sahlin; [2021]
    Keywords : Wastewater treatment; batch activity tests; NUR tests; anaerobic P release tests; EBPR; denitrification; removal rates; internal carbon source; fermentate; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Traditional biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes in wastewater treatment require access to easily biodegradable carbon in order to achieve sufficient removal. However, a lot of the carbon in the influent wastewater is not directly available for BNR bacteria but need to undergo hydrolysis first. READ MORE

  4. 8. Enhancement of hydrolysis from co-fermentation of food waste and primary sludge

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Johnny Hagelin; [2021]
    Keywords : Environmental engineering; Bioaugmentation; Fermentation; Hydrolysis; Resource recovery;

    Abstract : Research about resource recovery from complex waste streams is getting an increased scientific attention since valuable resources can be produced by sustainable biological means. In anaerobic degradation processes, resources such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and biogas are highly coveted. READ MORE

  5. 9. Modelling control strategies for chemical phosphorus removal at Tivoli wastewater treatment plant

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sara Rosendahl; [2021]
    Keywords : Wastewater treatment plant; phosphorus precipitation; control strategy; feedforward; feedback; ASM2d and primary clarifier model.;

    Abstract : Wastewater compose an environmental risk as it contains high levels of nutrients, including phosphorus. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) reduce phosphorus by using coagulants that precipitate soluble phosphate into metal phosphate, which is separated by settling. READ MORE

  6. 10. Thermophilic anaerobic digestion of municipal wastewater sludges: A pilot scale evaluation with model assistance

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Ted Lundwall; [2021]
    Keywords : Thermophilic anaerobic digestion; Pilot; Municipal wastewater; Biogas; ADM1; Termofil rötning; Pilot; Kommunalt avloppsvatten; Biogas; ADM1;

    Abstract : I takt med att städerna växer ökar belastningen på de kommunala avloppsreningsverken. Käppalaförbundet förutspår att antalet anslutna personekvivalenter till Käppalaverket kommer att öka med över 160 % under de kommande tre decennierna. En ökad belastning leder till en större mängd slam som måste behandlas. READ MORE
