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. Predicting Treatment Performance Using Ternary Plot : Macronutrients’ impact on biomass conversion efficiency

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Madeleine Gobl; [2022]
   Keywords : Black soldier fly; organic waste treatment; biomass conversion efficiency; treatment performance; macronutrients; ternary plot; organic waste; amerikansk vapensflugan; triangulär diagram; organiskt avfallsbehandling; organiskt avfall; behandlingseffektivitet; biomassomvandlings-effektivitet; makronäringsämnen;

   Abstract : Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) waste treatment is becoming a more sought-after organic waste treatment since it produces larvae for animal feed as well as fertilizer, the need for prediction and optimization of treatment performance increases. This study aims to predict biomass conversion efficiency (BCE) for waste going into treatment, using only the nutritional data from other studies as it could give a good performance estimation while using available data.

4. 3. Increase of biogas production by incorporating residual streams from agriculture

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Stephanie Fjäll; [2022]
   Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; Agricultural residue; Lignocellulosic biomass; Mechanical pretreatment; Biogas production; Biorefinery; Chemical engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : To expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. READ MORE

5. 4. A comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study of centralized and decentralized wastewater heat recovery in Stockholm, Sweden

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Deniz Pektas; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The cities bear a large role in the climate crisis. However, this also means that they have a big potential in the transition towards sustainable communities and a sustainable world. Up to 90 % of energy use within the urban water cycle is allocated to hot water heating for end users. READ MORE
