Assessing Struvite Formation Potential at Wastewater Treatment Plants
(2012-12)
Wastewater treatment plants, especially those employing secondary treatment and anaerobic sludge digestion, have historically encountered phosphate precipitates, one of the commonest being struvite, that foul and encrust ...
Palm tree leaves usage for biosorption and recovery of heavy metals from wastewater
(Desalination Publications, 2017-06)
Biosorption can be a sustainable water treatment option. However, selection of biosorbent can be challenging and local availability plays an important role. This research investigates the effectiveness of palm tree leaves ...
A biofilter design tool for hydrogen sulfide removal calculations
(2012-08)
Biofilters have been used for decades in the management of nuisance odors that are emitted from the collection and treatment systems of municipal sewage works. Typically hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been identified as the ...
A theoretical analysis of an air stripper–biofilter system (ASBF) for industrial wastewater treatment
(Desalination Publications, 2017-12)
In this study, we focus on the industrial wastewater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (or VOC’s) which are carbon-containing compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, etc. VOC’s in general are toxic ...
Performance assessment of a pilot-size vacuum rotation membrane bioreactor treating urban wastewater
(2011-12)
This study investigated the suitability and performance of a pilot-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR). Huber vacuum rotation membrane (VRM 20/36) bioreactor was installed at the Sharjah sewage treatment plant (STP) in the ...
Microbial Desalination Cells Technology: A Review and a Case Study
(Elsevier, 2015-03)
The microbial desalination cell (MDC) is a newly-developed technology which integrates the microbial fuel cell (MFC) process and electrodialysis for wastewater treatment, water desalination and production of renewable ...
