    The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and the stringent greenhouse gases (GHG) reduction targets, require the development of CO2 sequestration technologies applicable for the waste and ...
  • Carbon dioxide utilisation in anaerobic digesters as an on-site carbon revalorisation strategy 
    Bajón Fernández, Yadira (Cranfield University, 2014-11)
    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 ...
  • Comparison between disintegrated and fermented sewage sludge for production of a carbon source suitable for biological nutrient removal 
    Soares, Ana; Kampas, Pantelis; Maillard, Sarah; Wood, Elizabeth; Brigg, Jon; Tillotson, Martin; Parsons, Simon A.; Cartmell, Elise (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2010-03-15)
    There is a need to investigate processes that enable sludge re-use while enhancing sewage treatment efficiency. Mechanically disintegrated thickened surplus activated sludge (SAS) and fermented primary sludge were compared ...
  • The effect of organic loading rate on foam initiation during mesophilic anaerobic digestion of municipal wastewater sludge 
    Ganidi, Nafsika; Tyrrel, Sean F.; Cartmell, Elise (Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam., 2011-06-30)
    The impact of increasing organic load on anaerobic digestion foaming was studied at both full and bench scale. Organic loadings of 1.25, 2.5 and 5 kg VS m(-3) were applied to bench-scale digesters. Foaming was monitored ...
  • Enhancing the removal of a diverse range of hazardous chemicals from wastewaters 
    Petrie, Bruce (Cranfield University, 2014-01)
    Due to increasingly stringent legislation covering the discharge of hazardous chemicals into the environment, existing wastewater treatment processes need to be upgraded for their removal. This thesis explores the removal ...
  • An evaluation of the fate and behaviour of endocrine disrupting chemicals during anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge 
    Paterakis, Nikolaos (Cranfield University, 2009-09)
    Endocrine disrupting chemicals such as steroid estrogens and alkylphenol polyethoxylates entering the environment via regular domestic or industrial discharges have been demonstrated to cause feminization of aquatic ...
  • Fate and removal of pharmaceuticals during sewage treatment 
    Thompson, Andrew (Cranfield University, 2005-10)
    Pharmaceuticals, personal care products and their metabolites are continuously entering the environment through many routes, especially from the effluent of sewage treatment plants. The aim of this work was to examine ...
  • The fate of endocrine disrupting chemicals during activated sludge treatment 
    Bagnall, John Peter (Cranfield University, 2010-12)
    A significant route for Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as natural and synthetic estrogens and nonylphenolics to enter the environment is via sewage treatment. Nanogram per litre levels of these compounds have ...
