Microalgae cultivation for wastewater treatment and biogas production at Moscow wastewater treatment plant

Optimization of Biogas Production Process in a Wastewater Treatment Plant

Sludge is a byproduct of wastewater processing suitable for biogas production. The biogas consisting of about 60% methane can be used to generate electricity and heat. A data-driven approach for optimization of biogas production process in a wastewater treatment plant is presented. The process model is developed using routinely collected data categorized as controllable and uncontrollable varia...

Indigenous Microalgae-activated Sludge Cultivation System for Wastewater Treatment

“Everything is everywhere, but the environment selects the best duo’’; natural selection holds the key to the relationship between the micro-algal communities in Lake Mälaren and the activated sludge organisms in the municipal wastewater of Västerås. Interest in microalgae-based activated sludge wastewater treatment has been increasing in recent decades as a way to meet the demand for sustainab...

Efficiency of electrical coagulation process using aluminum electrodes for municipal wastewater treatment: a case study at Karaj wastewater treatment plant

Background: The reuse of treated municipal wastewater is an important source of water for different ,purposes. This study evaluated the efficiency of the electrocoagulation process in removing turbidity,a total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrate, and phosphate from wastewater at the treatment facility in Karaj, Iran. Methods: This experimental study was performed at ...

Microalgae Cultivation in Wastewater for Nutrient Removal

Wastewater is the spent or used water containing dissolved or suspended solids such as pollutants and microbes, including nutrients. The wastewater discharged into the water bodies are hazardous to environment and cause various health problems in human beings. Eutrophication is one such major environmental problem caused due to the discharge of nutrient rich wastewater into the nearby water bod...
