in this paper, river regime equations through developing of unit stream power equation and based on data of sistan and karaj rivers were derived. at the first step, methods and out-comes of former researchers are classified. on the next step, based on dimensional analysis, unit stream power as a function of river flow parameters including suspended sediment load and specific gravity of particle...

Acrylonitrile is used as the main raw material for manufacturing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene resin. It is usually found as pollutant in the petrochemical wastewater. In this research an aerated submerged fixed-film reactor was developed to treat a synthetic acrylonitrile butadiene styrene unit wastewater containing acrylonitrile. Laboratory experiments were conducted using a bioreactor with...

evaluation and modeling of the wastewater treatment plants (wwtp) have to be based on thefact that the pollutant concentrations and flow rates change constantly. in addition, different approaches mustused due to there are different processes in a wwtp. a mexican petrochemical complex has a wwtp thatprocesses wastewaters from several petrochemical plants, where the flow rates and pollutant conce...

The propagation of solidified zones in the course of subaqueous liquefied sediment flow is theoretically discussed. The coupled systems of Navier-Stokes equations and consolidation equation are numerically solved under moving boundary conditions, with consideration of the concurrent evolutions of the flow surface as well as of the internally formed interface between the fluid and solidified zon...

Sediment transport by surficial flow likely occurs on Titan. Titan is thought to have a volatile cycle, such as on Earth and likely in the past on Mars, which would entail surficial liquid flow. And surficial flow is implied in interpretations of Cassini–Hyugens data as showing fluvial channels, which would require sediment transport by surficial flow to form the observable features. We present...

Partial nitrification techniques, such as the continuously aerated SHARON process, have been denoted for quite a while as very promising for improved sustainability of wastewater treatment. Combination of such a SHARON process with the Anammox process, where ammonium is oxidised with nitrite to nitrogen gas under anoxic conditions, leads to cost-efficient and sustainable nitrogen removal from c...

a down-flow hanging sponge (dhs) reactor has been developed for sewage treatment, mainly in developing countries. this novel reactor employs polyurethane sponge material as a support medium, which promises a proliferation of a large amount of biomass, offering excellent pollutant removal capability. three types of sponge medium were evaluated with respect to water distribution and oxygen mass t...

Aerated-anoxic processes operate under the principle that small additions of oxygen to an anoxic reactor induce simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. In these systems, ammonia oxidation in the anoxic zone can easily account for 30-50% of the total nitrification in the reactor, even though the dissolve oxygen concentration is usually below detection limit. To investigate whether the ni...
