Towards water operations of the future.
Nowadays multiple use of “smart” word is provided in many fields including research. Sometimes it is a synonym for chic, elegant or straight. A smart water system is not the same as an elegant, glamorous or fashionable system. Instead it operates to fulfil the requirements of producing an acceptable product while keeping the energy and resource requirements at a minimum. However, while cost savings has up until recently been our primary aim of making water and wastewater operations more efficient, there is now a more pressing agenda of sustainability driving the smart agenda. The primary aim of developing our utilities into a higher level of smart is hence moving from a singular focus on co…
A comprehensive analysis for N2O mechanisms by advanced mathematical techniques
Recent evaluation of the existing activated sludge models, incorporating nitrous oxide (N2O) formation, is only based on the capabilities and inabilities in describing experimental data under different conditions. This paper will present an advanced mathematical modeling framework (i.e. coupling global sensitivity, identifiability and uncertainty analysis) for a comprehensive analysis on the evaluation of the structural differences among three ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) two-pathway models in combination with two heterotrophic denitrification models. The analysis will be performed based on experimental data from a lab-scale deammonification granular sequencing batch reactor operated un…
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Advanced Membrane Separation Processes for Sustainable Water and Wastewater Management - Case Studies and Sustainability Analysis
Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Advanced Membrane Separation Processes for Sustainable Water and Wastewater Management - Case Studies and Sustainability Analysis gives an up-to-date review and research developments of MBR systems (including hybrid systems) in wastewater treatment in terms of pollutant removal, nutrient recovery, and energy production as well as the achievement of energy efficiency of the process itself. The current challenges that hinder the application and industrialization of MBR technology as well as knowledge gaps and future research perspectives are also discussed, including possible strategies to solve the various problems involved. This work…
