Source Separation of Human Urine - Separation Efficiency and Effects on Water Emissions, Crop Yield, Energy Usage and Reliability
نویسنده
چکیده
Urine is the waste fraction from households which contains the largest amounts of nutrients. In Sweden it contains approximately 70% of the nitrogen and 50% of the phosphorous and potassium in all household waste and wastewater fractions. During the 1990-ies, urine separation has been thoroughly investigated in waterborne systems in Sweden. Measurements have shown that between 50% and 85% of the urine has been source separated, depending on the motivation and dedication of the inhabitants.

Calculation of Leakage in Water Supply Network Based on Blind Source Separation Theory
The economic and environmental losses due to serious leakage in the urban water supply network have increased the effort to control the water leakage. However, current methods for leakage estimation are inaccurate leading to the development of ineffective leakage controls. Therefore, this study proposes a method based on the blind source separation theory (BSS) to calculate the leakage of water...
