Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) act as barriers in reducing uncontrolled microplastic and microlitter (MP-ML) emissions from both urban industrial wastewaters. Despite removing most of the MP-ML, large quantities this waste still enter environment through WWTP effluents, which means further post-treatment technologies are needed. This study contains a technical evaluation MP-ML removal wastewater (UWW) recycling plastic industry (PIWW) using two different pilot-scale systems: rapid...
Abstract This research work proposes an innovative water resource recovery facility (WRRF) for the of energy, nutrients and reclaimed from sewage, which represents a promising approach towards enhanced circular economy scenarios. To this aim, anaerobic technology, microalgae cultivation, membrane technology were combined in dedicated platform. The proposed platform produces high-quality solid- coliform-free effluent that can be directly discharged to receiving bodies identified as sensitive...
Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) can achieve maximum energy recovery from urban wastewater (UWW) by converting influent COD into methane.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect seasonal temperature variations on anaerobic treatment urban wastewater in membrane bioreactors (MBRs). To aim, sludge production, energy recovery potential, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and permeability were evaluated a submerged MBR fitted with industrial-scale units. plant operated for 172 days, between summer winter seasons. Sludge production increased potential decreased when decreased. COD remained nearby stable throughout...
This study compares the operation of mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic digestion sewage sludge their effects in uncontrolled phosphorus precipitation. The research has been carried out using a pilot plant consisting two digesters 1.6 m3 working volume, treating mixed Alzira WWTP (Valencia, Spain). were operated parallel, at different conditions: (38 ± 2.0°C) (55 2.5°C) temperatures organic loading rates (OLR) ranging from 1.1 to 1.7 kg volatile solids (VS) m−3 d−1 hydraulic retention...
The anaerobic treatment of sulphate-rich wastewater causes sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) and methanogenic archaea (MA) to compete for the available substrate. outcome is lower methane yield coefficient and, therefore, a reduction in energy recovery potential treatment. Moreover, order assess overall chemical oxygen demand (COD) balance, it necessary determine how much dissolved CH4 lost effluent. aim this study develop detailed reliable method assessing COD mass balance thereby, establish...
The present work involved an assessment of the technical feasibility coupling AnMBR, primary settling and anaerobic digestion to treat sulfate-rich wastewater at ambient temperature. innovative approach used focused on reducing carbon footprint treatment while maximizing energy recovered from influent organic matter. In this process, reduces COD/SO4-S ratio in AnMBR system completely removes matter by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), increasing sidestream digester (AD), enhancing recovery...
