1. 11. Monovalent selective electrodialysis in greenhouses - An analysis of brackish groundwater and greenhouse wastewater treatment

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Georg Schücking; [2020]
   Keywords : desalination; water treatment; greenhouses; ED; MSED; monovalent selective electrodialysis; groundwater; sodium; nitrate; water engineering; environmental engineering; vattenförsörjningsteknik; avloppsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Water use in greenhouse can be optimized by switching to alternative sources of irrigation water and building zero-liquid discharge systems that recirculate greenhouse effluent. The use of brackish groundwater (BGW) has become a popular option for greenhouses that have adopted reverse osmosis (RO) to reduce the salinity of their source water. READ MORE

3. 12. Reliability – based analysis of embankment dams

4. 13. Green Roof Performance in Cold Climates : A study on how different plants suited for the subarctic climate in northernSweden affects the performances of green roofs

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

   Author : Jonathan Hjelm; [2019]
   Keywords : Stormwater; Green roofs; Cold climate; Stormwater management;
