Abstract The main objective of this work is to propose a new technique for water quality parameters monitoring by applying artificial intelligence methods optimize remote sensing data processing. A multiple regression model was developed create total suspended solids (TSS) prediction model, using unsupervised machine learning. Currently, bodies throughout the world are poorly supervised in term...

background: although stabilization ponds and lagoons are suitable treatment processes due to simplicity of operation and low per capital costs, the effluents of these systems have too high of a total suspended solids concentration to be discharged into receiving waters. this problem is mainly caused by algae. in this study, an electro-coagulation reactor was examined to re­move algae from the f...

This paper is a report of the performance of a new design of anaerobic bioreactor called the induced-blanket reactor or IBR. The IBR appears to treat high-solids organic matter (manure) effectively in a relatively short time without plugging. A 28 m (7500 gal), heated IBR has been in operation at the Caine Dairy, Utah State University’s dairy farm, since summer 2000. The bioreactor, an upflow-s...

Phosphorus (P) recovery from liquid swine manure is an attractive technology when on-farm application of liquid swine manure is not an option. We developed a technology that enables separation of this P, but its high moisture content makes transportation difficult. In this work, we investigated dewatering procedures to concentrate the P product. Sludge rich in calcium phosphate (> 20% P2O5) was...
