Fault Detection in Water Resource Recovery Facilities

Reliable sensor values are important for resource-efficient control and operations of wastewater treatment processes. Automatic fault detection methods are necessary to monitor the increasing amount of data produced in any modern water resource recovery facility (WRRF). Most on-line measurements exhibit large variations under normal conditions, due to considerable variations in the influent flo...

Oxides of Nitrogen: Formation and Control in Resource Recovery Facilities

This paper presents an excellent review of the theory of solid fuel combustion and NOx formation and control in the context of solid waste combustion. After pointing out that most research on NOx formation from solid fuels has been done on coal, the authors correctly point out that the while the basic principles of fuel and thermal NOx formation are well understood and permit NOx reductions in ...

Chromium removal and water recycling from electroplating wastewater through direct osmosis: Modeling and optimization by response surface methodology

Background: Considering the carcinogenic effects of heavy metals, such as chromium, it is essential to remove these elements from water and wastewater. Direct osmosis is a new membrane technology, which can be a proper alternative to conventional chromium removal processes. Methods: The wastewater samples were collected from an electroplating unit, located in Alborz industrial city, Qazvin, Ir...
