Enzyme Recovery from Biological Wastewater Treatment

Thermophilic Biological Wastewater Treatment

Thermophilic treatment is one of the advanced treatment technologies used for the purification of high-strength wastewaters. Thermophilic systems are conventionally used for sludge treatment, but their ability to reduce COD to a great extent with sludge generation one-tenth when compared to the other wastewater treatment technologies, have favored its application for wastewater purification. Mo...

Editorial: Resource Recovery from Wastewater by Biological Technologies

Effect of foam on temperature prediction and heat recovery potential from biological wastewater treatment.

Heat is an important resource in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) which can be recovered. A prerequisite to determine the theoretical heat recovery potential is an accurate heat balance model for temperature prediction. The insulating effect of foam present on the basin surface and its influence on temperature prediction were assessed in this study. Experiments were carried out to characteri...

Genomics of biological wastewater treatment

Cleaning up wastewater from domestic sewage and industrial processes is essential for safeguarding public health and the environment (for an overview of wastewater treatment processes see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Sewage_treatment). Biological wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) employing sludge represent one of the most widely used biotechnological processes, with more than 120 billion lit...
