Interlinkages between operational conditions and direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions in a moving bed membrane biofilm reactor

2016

Nitrous oxide (N2O) can be emitted during wastewater treatment contributing to the global warming due to its high global warming potential,. During the last ten years, several efforts have been provided to improve knowledge on: key mechanisms, operating factors and influent features affecting the N2O production/emission. However, the knowledge on the investigated issues is not completely mature. Indeed, in terms of mathematical modelling, literature shows that a reliable model has not yet been established due to the huge data set required and the complexity of the mechanistic models indicated as the most accurate. In this work, the first attempt to perform a multiregression analysis is pres…

Comparison of Two Mathematical Models for Greenhouse Gas Emission from Membrane Bioreactors

2017

In this study two mathematical models (Model I and Model II), able to predict the nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from an University Cape Town (UCT) – membrane bioreactor (MBR) plant, have been compared. Model I considers the N2O production only during the denitrification. Model II takes into account the two ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) formation pathways for N2O. Both models were calibrated adopting real data. Results highlight that Model II had a better capability of reproducing the measured data especially in terms of N2O model outputs. Indeed, the average efficiency related to the N2O model outputs was equal to 0.3 and 0.38 for Model I and Model II respectively.

Dénitrification et émission de N2O par des sols soumis à une fertilisation organique ou minérale. Cas des effluents porcins

2007

Les effets des apports à long terme (9 ans) de lisier de porc ou de nitrate d’ammonium sur l’activité énitrifiante, la production de N2O et le carbone organique du sol (C extractible, C de la biomasse microbienne et C organique total) ont été comparés sur des parcelles adjacentes à trois profondeurs différentes. L’activité dénitrifiante a été mesurée sur des cylindres de sol non remanié et sur des échantillons de sol tamisés avec la méthode à l’acétylène afin d’estimer la vitesse de dénitrification aux conditions du champ ou en conditions potentielles. Les applications de lisier ont eu un effet modéré sur les pools de C. La teneur en C organique total a été augmentée de 6,5% et la taille de…
