Local utilities often face problems of local industrial wastes, storm water disposal due to existing strict regulations. For many local industries, the problem of wastewater treatment and discharge into surface reservoirs can’t be solved through the use of conventional biological treatment techniques. Current discharge standards require very strict removal of a number of impurities such as ammo...

this study was carried out to assess the effects of alfalfa hay level and replacing corn grain by other grains in starter on daily feed intake, average daily gain (adg) and feed efficiency (fe) of pre and post-weaning dairy calves during the pre and post-weaning periods. for this purpose, a database meta-analysis used in the present study. statistical analyses were performed using proc mixed in...

Water quality in San Francisco Bay has been adversely affected by nitrogen loading from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) discharging around the periphery of the Bay. While there is documented use of zeolites and anammox bacteria in removing ammonia and possibly nitrate during wastewater treatment, there is little information available about the combined process. Though relatively large, zeol...

a newly developed natural rubber deproteinization process produces deproteinized natural rubber (dpnr) wastewater as an intermediate product containing a high concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and rubber. in this study, a novel process to recover the residual rubber and energy as methane from dpnr wastewater was developed. as a pretreatment, sds and residual rubber in dpnr wastewate...

In this report, experimental investigation of waste water treatment by reverse osmosis to enable its reuse in cooling tower is presented. A polyamide spiral wound RO membrane followed by three filters as RO pretreatment (two activated carbon and one cartridge filter) and samples of Tehran refinery treated waste water have been used. The effect of operating conditions such as pressure difference...

the growing scarcity of fresh water is driving the implementation of wastewater treatment and water reuse on an increasingly large scale. various methods have been developed and used for water reuse from wastewater; however, the membrane distillation (md) process, as a promising separation technology, has recently gained more attention. the md process is a non-isothermal membrane-based separati...

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a ground breaking membrane based technology to purify water by separating the dissolved solids from feed stream resulting in permeate and reject stream for a wide arena of applications in domestic , industrial and wide array of applications. Reverse osmosis or other membrane separation processes has an innovative vision which is extremely targeted towards environmental p...
