In response to concerns expressed by the Environment Agency and Broads Authority, this project aimed to assess the risk of illegal sewage discharge from boats into the waterways of the Broads, East Anglia. The Broads are ...
An investigation into whether a BTCC racing car can be shown to emit no more carbon dioxide than its showroom equivalent

Hannington, Lee (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2008-09)

The British Touring Car Championship’s emissions initiative aims to demonstrate a BTCC racing car can emit no more CO2than its showroom equivalent, (the standard road car that racing cars are based upon) for publicity purposes. ...
Impact of NOM on flocs created in the drinking water process

Cairns, Peter Ryland (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2008-09)

Increased regulatory pressure to meet THM standards with the possible introduction of HAA regulations means that organic matter, the predominant DBP precursor needs to be removed effectively from site whilst coping with ...
A pilot study into the use of fossil fuels in golf course maintenance operations under Swedish conditions

Caple, Matthew (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2008-09)

A method is proposed for measuring fuel consumption of golf course maintenance machinery within this study, in response to growing industry concerns to rising fuel prices and greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this method ...
Waste management within a public organisation

Dlamini, Delly (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2008-09)

Through air pollution from landfill, the increase in waste generation poses a local and global threat to the environment. The UK government recognises organisations’ contribution to meeting raised targets for waste ...
The restoration of an urban still water fishery: monitoring for success at Tom Thumb Lake

Hughes, Stephen (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2008-09)

Tom Thumb Lake is a former gravel pit and carp fishery situated in East London. In 2005 the Lake was restored as an accessible, self-sustaining fishery. The objectives of this study were to outline a monitoring plan to ...
An evaluation of the restoration programme for a cut over section of Wedholme Flow raised mire

Lewis, Graham (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2008-09)

Wedholme Flow, Cumbria is the site of the largest lowland raised mire remaining in the UK. It forms part of a group of ombrotrophic mires known as the Solway mosses, situated in the north west of England. As with all ...
The summer nutrient dynamics of Bosherston lakes, Pembrokeshire, and the potential impacts of future climate and policy change

Niciecki, Georgina (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2008-09)

Bosherston Lakes, Pembrokeshire have had problems with high nutrient concentrations and algal blooms, particularly in the stream-fed Eastern Arm, leading to the loss of Chara within the Eastern Arm. Management in the ...
Low temperature ITO thin film deposition for solar cells

Seraffon, Maud (Cranfield University, 2008-09)

The electrical and optical properties as well as the microstructure of indium tin oxide thin films deposited on glass and flexible substrates is demonstrated in this project report. This project is a part of an MSc in ...
Phylogenetic analysis black box

Naval Sanchez, M (Cranfield UniversityCranfield Health, 2008-09)

Molecular phylogenetics tries to resolve sequence evolution in order to provide the evolutionary relationship of homologous sequences: DNA, RNA or proteins. Phylogenetics acts at the beginning of the drug discovery process ...
Evaluating the potential of anaerobic waste stabilisation ponds for wastewater treatment in a temperate climate

Ansari, Ilyas A. (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2009)

A pilot scale baffled anaerobic waste stabilisation pond (aWSP) was designed based on an organic loading of 0.17 kg COD m-3 d-1 to evaluate the potential of aWSP as a passive, sustainable technology for domestic wastewater ...
House buyer perceptions on the value of water and grey water recycling systems

Horton, David (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2009-08)

The population of the East of England is set to increase and climate change predictions suggest that the region will become drier; water resources will therefore come under increasing pressure. In order to meet future water ...
The effects of a thermal conditioning treatment forweed control upon soil biological properties

Amis, K. S. (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2009-09)

Weeds, and their associated control, are often significant in limiting production within organic farming due to restrictions on herbicide use within such systems. Organic farmers rely on alternative weed control methods, ...
Renewable energy, landfill gas and EfW: now, next and future

Adu-Gyamfi, Kofi Apea (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2009-09)

The United Kingdom (UK) has traditionally used landfill disposal as the predominant method of waste management. However, landfilling is unsustainable due to its harmful effects on the environment and public health. Under ...
A benchmark study of the independent quality validation techniques of product design and development

Adeniji, Moyosore (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2009-09)

As we move ahead in the 21st century, quality validation techniques need to be based on principles of long term safety as consumers are now more aware of safety issues surrounding product design and development and ...
Impact of MIEX pre-treatment on floc strength and structure

Burton, Vincent (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2009-09)

In drinking water treatment regulation standards for natural organic matter (NOM) are tightening owing the fact that NOM leads to formation of carcinogenic disinfection by-products which can be harmful for human health. ...
Improve the energy efficiency of a full scale integated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) process at Thames Water Oxford WWTW

Buñol i Tordera, Ramon (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2009-09)

The primary objective of integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) is to remove dissolved pollutants from wastewater. This process allows an increased treatment capacity in comparison with conventional activated ...
Desalination technologies for developing countries: what solutions?

Groult, Lucille (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2009-09)

Desalination is a water treatment option known by people at large for its large scale use in rich countries such as in the Middle East. Nevertheless, this is not an option for some developing countries such as Kenya, as, ...
A study of the socio economic sustainability of a proposed gravity fed water scheme in Buea, Cameroon
