Potable water from wastewater and beyond
The Holy Grail of water technology is a full recycle of all wastewater as potable water (or water of a similar quality) after treatment by enhanced separation. Traditional wastewater treatment systems, mainly based on activated sludge treatment, have a high water loss through the sludge produced, generate a large volume of secondary waste and have insufficient quality of the product water. Newe...
متن کاملA Concept of Rational Water Management at Local Utilities – The Use of RO for Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment/Reuse
Local utilities often face problems of local industrial wastes, storm water disposal due to existing strict regulations. For many local industries, the problem of wastewater treatment and discharge into surface reservoirs can’t be solved through the use of conventional biological treatment techniques. Current discharge standards require very strict removal of a number of impurities such as ammo...
متن کاملThe Effects of Operational and Environmental Variables on Efficiency of Danish Water and Wastewater Utilities
Efficiency improvement is one of three patterns a public utility should follow in order to get funds for investments realization. The other two are recourse to bank loans or to private equity and tariff increase. Efficiency can be improved, for example, by growth and vertical integration and may be conditioned by environmental variables, such as customer and output density. Prior studies into t...
متن کاملDecision support tools for urban water and wastewater systems--focussing on hazardous flows assessment.
The Swedish research programme Urban Water has developed a concept of a multi-criteria basis intended to support decision-making for urban water and wastewater systems. Five criteria groups were established for sustainability assessment of urban water systems: Health and Hygiene, Environment, Economy, Socio-culture, and Technology. Each criterion requires a set of indicators corresponding to qu...
متن کاملThe Carbon-Water Interface: Modeling Challenges and Opportunities for the Water-Energy Nexus.
Providing clean water and sufficient affordable energy to all without compromising the environment is a key priority in the scientific community. Many recent studies have focused on carbon-based devices in the hope of addressing this grand challenge, justifying and motivating detailed studies of water in contact with carbonaceous materials. Such studies are becoming increasingly important becau...
