Odour monitoring as an unconventional tool for sewage sludge management in wastewater treatment plants

Giaquinto P., Della Rocca M., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V., (Corresponding) Zarra T.
Topic: 
7. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
The management of sewage sludge generated by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) must comply with stringent regulations to prevent adverse impacts. Selecting appropriate sludge treatment is highly dependent on accurate sludge characterization, which traditionally involves comprehensive laboratory...Read more

sim4dhs - Algorithm for the thermohydraulic simulation of district heating systems: Identification of optimal locations for additional heat sources

(Corresponding) Pelda J.
Topic: 
11. ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
In 2023, renewables covered 22 % of Germany’s final energy use - 53 % in electricity but only 18 % in heat, even though heat makes up half of total consumption. In particular, district heating promises a high potential of reducing CO2 emissions. In order to unlock this potential, district heating...Read more
