Population growth and improving standards of living, coupled with dramatically increased urbanization, are placing pressures on available water resources, necessitating new approaches to urban management. The tradition linear "take, make, waste" approach managing increasingly is proving be unsustainable, as it leading stress (insufficient supplies), unsustainable resource (energy chemicals) consumption, the dispersion nutrients into aquatic environment (especially phosphorus), financially...
A metabolic model for the stoichiometry of acetate uptake under anaerobic conditions by an enriched culture glycogen accumulating organisms (GAOs) was developed and tested experimental studies. Glycogen served as source both reducing power energy to drive process uptake. The amount consumed poly-beta-hydroxyvalerate (PHV) accumulated in cells increased with increasing pH, indicating that requirements pH. composition poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) adequately predicted using assumption...
Innovation in urban water systems is required to address the increasing demand for clean due population growth and aggravated stress caused by pollution, aging infrastructure, climate change. Advances materials science, modular treatment technologies, complex analyses, coupled with drive minimize energy environmental footprints of cities, provide new opportunities ensure a resilient safe supply. We present vision enhancing efficiency resiliency discuss approaches research needs overcoming...
The oxygen and carbon savings associated with novel nitrogen removal processes for the treatment of high ammonia, low biodegradable organic matter waste streams such as recycle from dewatering anaerobically digested sludges are well documented.This understanding may lead some to think that similar possible if nitritation/ denitritation partial nitritation-deammonification incorporated into main liquid stream where influent is used denitrify residual oxidized (nitrite nitrate). It...
This study advances our understanding of how to regain a balance between satisfying human demands and maintaining ecosystems.
Abstract Mainstream partial nitritation/anammox (PN/A), coupled with excess biological phosphorus removal, in a 200,000 m3/d step-feed activated sludge process (Train 2) the Changi Water Reclamation Plant (WRP), Singapore, has been studied and reported. This paper presents an overview of performance microbial community during period from 2011 to 2016. The site data showed that, along reduction dissolved oxygen (DO) 1.7 1.0 mg O2/L aeration zones, concentrations ammonium nitrate final...
Urine diversion has been proposed as an approach for producing renewable fertilizers and reducing nutrient loads to wastewater treatment plants. Life cycle assessment was used compare environmental impacts of the operations phase urine fertilizer processing systems [via (1) a concentration alternative (2) struvite precipitation ion exchange alternative] at city scale conventional systems. Scenarios in Vermont, Michigan, Virginia were modeled, along with additional sensitivity analyses...
