Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) are emerging as a promising technology to offer the prospect to achieve energy neutral sewage treatment. The key challenges limiting full-scale application of AnMBR for municipal ...

The increasing carbon footprint of the water and organic waste sectors has led to water utilities to voluntarily include carbon mitigation approaches within their strategic plans and to an increase in research aimed at ...

The pesticide production industry generates a high strength wastewater containing a range of toxic pollutants (2,4-dichlorphenoxy acetic acid: 2,4-D; 4-(2,4-dichlorphenox) propionic acid: 2,4-DP; 4-(2,4-dichlorophenox) ...

Moving attached growth processes are commonly used for the effective removal of organic pollutants and nitrogen in wastewater treatment plants. In these processes, biofilm grows attached to plastic media. Moving attached ...

Anaerobic digesters are often not operated to full capacity and are recurrently subjected to adverse operational practices due to: temperature fluctuations, inconstant feeding regimes, variable solids content on the feed, ...

Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) complements individual testing to assess disease burden within geographically defined communities. Here, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA fragments ...

Biomineralization can be exploited to recover phosphorus from liquid streams and wastewater through struvite (i.e. bio-struvite) production. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the attributes of the microorganisms ...
