A model was developed to estimate total suspended solids (TSS) removal in the Stormceptor, an oil/sediment separator. The model was based on a commonly used continuous simulation model (USEPA SWMM) for hydrological processes. The suspended solids’ loading was estimated using build-up and wash-off equations. The solids were assumed to be distributed into five particle sizes for settling calculat...

Fresh ripened Guavas were procured from entrepreneur’s field and were weighed, sorted, washed, lye peeled before crushing and sieving to get guava pulp for preparation of different products such as RTS, Nectar and guava bar. Physico-chemical properties (Total Soluble Solids (TSS) Acidity, Ascorbic acid Content (AAC), Thermal properties, Particle Size analysis) and microbial properties (bacteria...

The application of lanthanum modified bentonite (Phoslock®) and polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is popular in the restoration European temperate lakes; however, effects on concentrations phosphorus (P) both water sediments have been poorly evaluated to date. We studied Phoslock® + PAC total (TP), particulate (PP), soluble reactive (SRP), suspended solids (TSS) chlorophyll a (Chla) water, different...

The nitrogen (N) critical level in leaves and maximum technical efficiency (MTE) doses contribute to the grape yield, must quality, fertilizers rationalization. This study aimed define sufficient ranges levels obtain high yields quality grapevines grown sandy soil a subtropical climate. ‘Chardonnay’ ‘Pinot Noir’ were subjected annual application of 0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 kg N ha−1 vineyard. conc...

Elevated suspended solids are a widespread stressor of aquatic ecosystems, but their effects on growth and reproduction in freshwater mussels are largely unknown. We fertilized experimental ponds to create a gradient in total suspended solids (TSS) and examined the effects of TSS on growth, nutritional status, reproduction, and clearance rate in Ligumia subrostrata. The number of females that b...

In this study, some quality elements of the Horoz Karası grape variety were investigated. For purpose, cluster, berry, total soluble solids (TSS), titration acidity, pH level, berry color, phenol, and antioxidant activity determined in sample clusters taken from producer vineyards Kahramanmaraş. cultivar, (TSS) level was recorded between 16.6-25.35%, titratable acidity 0.189-0.517, 3.62 3.94. s...

A study was conducted to assess the performance of anaerobic-aerobic treatment system of a local potato processing industry. The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) consisted of primary treatment, upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), activated sludge process (ASP) and secondary clarifier. The study analyzed the physical, chemical and biochemical parameters of the influent (raw sewage) as well ...

the effects of different concentrations of salicylic acid as compared with control and as well with distilled water treatment were assessed on induction of resistance to chilling injury and quality of sweet lemon during its storage. for the purpose, sweet lemon fruits were treated by immersion method for 5 minutes in salicylic acid (200,400 and 600 mg/lit) and then packed in polyethylene bags t...
