  1. 1. Modelling the chemical recycling of plastic waste via pyrolysis and analysing integration with existing refinery infrastructure

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Simon Dahl; [2023]
    Keywords : Pyrolysis; Recycling; Integration; Modelling; Simulation; Techno-economic; Plastic; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Current plastic management is unsustainable as large amounts of plastic end up landfilled or in the ocean, necessitating an expansion of waste management infrastructure. Pyrolysis is a viable chemical recycling option, and in this report a pyrolysis model is constructed in Aspen Plus. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluating the feasibility of chitosan as an adhesive for wood laminates and as a matrix for transparent wood

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Nihar Sakhadeo; [2023]
    Keywords : Transparent wood; Chitosan; Biobased adhesives; Biopolymers; Laminate; Transparent trä; Kitosan; Biobaserad adhesiv; Biopolymer; Laminat;

    Abstract : En av grundpelarna i alla hållbara system är införandet av en cirkulär ekonomi, som främjar återanvändning och återvinning av material. Plast är en av i utmaning i detta avseende på grund av den stora produktionsvolymen variation i sorter och långsamma nedbrytn. READ MORE

  4. 3. Vulnerability of a water distribution network from a hydraulic point of view

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Carl Stagne; Jacob Thomas Svantesson; [2023]
    Keywords : Vulnerability; Criticality; Water distribution network; Hydrualic modelling; EPANET; MIKE ; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As the global population continues to grow and the demand for clean drinking water in-creases, the importance of a functioning water distribution network becomes evident. In the design and planning phase of a distribution network, a hydraulic model is a helpful tool for predicting consequences of an action and defining vulnerable parts of a network. READ MORE

  5. 4. Developing a Geographical Information System for a water and sewer network, for monitoring, identification and leak repair - Case study: Municipal Water Company of Naoussa, Greece

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Konstantinos Sourlamtas; [2023]
    Keywords : Water and sewer network; GIS; UAV; surveying; photogrammetry; orthophoto; geodatabase; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the design and implementation of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for the Naoussa Municipality Water and Sewer Company for better water utility management. The methodology contained field data collection like the valves, sewer manholes, hydrometers, and hydrants in two ways, UAV photogrammetry, and traditional surveying, the georeferencing process, photogrammetric processing, the digitization of old paper maps and the geodatabase design.

  6. 5. Analysis of the water quality dynamics of Lake Vomb; Interactions between water quality profile and cyanobacterial bloom in a eutrophic lake in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Wiebke Coenen; [2022]
    Keywords : Vombsj¨on; Lake profile; Cyanobacteria; Drinking water; Random Forest; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Lake Vomb, located in Sk˚ane, Sweden, provides water for groundwater infiltration, used for the drinking water supply of several municipalities, including Malm¨o. The lake is in a bad ecological condition with intense algae blooms during summer. Cyanobacteria dominate mentioned blooms in 2021 posing the threat of releasing cyanotoxins. READ MORE
