Use of Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) Assays for predicting biogas production from co-digestion of food waste and compostable bags
Kattamis S., (Corresponding) Maragkaki A., Papastefanakis N., Sampathianakis I., Lolos T., Tsobanidis C., Velonia K., Manios T.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Biodegradable plastics have been introduced to the market to substitute petro-based plastics to alleviate plastic pollution. Biochemical methane potential tests were carried out on food wastes (FW), with or without pre-treatment, compostable bag and a mixture of food waste and compostable bag (CB)...Read more

Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The biological upgrade of biogas to biomethane (CH4 > 90%) is a popular emerging technology, since the produced CO2 is not removed but is converted to biomethane using hydrogen (H2). The initial aim of the present study is the acclimatization of a microbial population derived from a typical...Read more
Planar Mixing Tool for Enhanced Performance of Covered Anaerobic Pond Systems
(Corresponding) Brück F., Velten H., Pingsmann M., Meyer D., Weigand H., Linnenberg C., Theilen U.
Topic:
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
Pond systems are the simplest and most widespread technology for the treatment of high-strength wastewater containing biodegradable suspended solids. When covered, they offer significant advantages such as odour control, intensification of the decomposition process, and the potential to capture...Read more
Evaluation of real bilge water toxic effects on methanogenic activity
(Corresponding) Gatidou G., Samanides C., Vyrides I.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Bilge water (BW), an oily residue that is accumulated at the bottom of vessels, is mainly generated from pipes’ and engines’ leakage and consisted of lubricating and diesel oil, cleaning solvents, oily sludge and other hydraulic/engine spills from seawater filtrations as well as fresh and seawater...Read more
Ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole biotransformation products in anaerobic packed bed biofilm reactor applied to the sanitary sewage treatment
(Corresponding) Carneiro R., Sabatini C., Titato G., Ferreira T., Zaiat M., Santos-Neto Á.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
The presence of antibiotics in the environment has received a lot of attention in recent years due to their ability to promote and spread antimicrobial resistance. In this work, the biodegradation of the antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), as well as the concurrently...Read more

APOC technology as an eco-innovative decentralized sanitation system for wastewater treatment and reuse facilities in the rural locality of Bent Saidane-NE Tunisia
(Corresponding) Chaabane S., Ghattassi A., Mensi K., M'hiri F., Plakas K.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS) in rural areas can be a smart alternative that helps communities to strengthen rural sanitation in improving clean water and sanitation management. To address these challenges, AquaCycle project, funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC MED...Read more

The effect of HRT in the successful bioaugmentation of CSTRs working under ammonia toxicity
Tzenos C., Christou M., Kalamaras S., (Corresponding) Kotsopoulos T.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
High levels of ammonia is a common inhibitory factor in anaerobic digestion (AD) resulting in low methane production and unbalance of the process. In the present study, the adjustment of the hydraulic retention time (HRT) and the bioaugmentation process (BP) are investigated to counter the negative...Read more
Optimized use of biogenic waste streams through the combined production of bio-based products and bio-hydrogen
(Corresponding) Küppers M., Brunstermann R., Widmann R.
Topic:
Biowaste
Since 2015, there has been a legal obligation in Germany for the districts and cities to collect biowastes separately, which are then treated in a composting plant or fermentation plant. However, in both aerobic and anaerobic biowaste treatment, a large part of the carbon contained in the waste is...Read more
Development and demonstration of an eco-innovative system for sustainable treatment and reuse of municipal wastewater in small and medium size communities in the Mediterranean region
(Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A., Takavakoglou V., Chatzis V., Oller-Alberola I., Polo-López I., Al-Naboulsi T., El Moll A., Kallali H., Mensi K., M'Hiri F., Simon Andreu P.
Topic:
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
Treated municipal wastewater is considered a valuable non-conventional water resource. However, a substantial number of wastewater treatment plants installed in the Mediterranean region have proven to be unsuccessful copies of systems operating in technolo-gically advanced countries. In addition to...Read more

Exploring the effects of static magnetic fields for the enhanced valorization of sewage sludge by anaerobic digestion
(Corresponding) Di Costanzo N., Cesaro A., Di Capua F., Mascolo M., Esposito G.
Topic:
Waste management
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an interesting and sustainable option to handle sewage sludge (SS), as it generates a methane-rich biogas and a digestate with potential fertilizing properties. Several strategies have been proposed to enhance AD performances and the valorization of SS. Among these, the...Read more
