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

Impact of Fatty Waste on Anaerobic Digestion of Sewage Sludge at a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant - A Case Study

(Corresponding) Umiejewska K., Retman M., Lech P.
Topic: 
Waste-to-energy
Anaerobic digestion is a common method for utilization of sewage sludge at large-scale wastewater treatment plants. This process generates biogas, which is a source of renewable energy. Intensification of biogas production can be achieved, for example, through co-digestion, with fatty waste...Read more

Investigating the Performance of Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Primary Sludge and Acid Whey Using a Twin Pilot Scale System

(Corresponding) Gkoumas F., Tzivelou E., Gravanis Z., Mamais D., Malamis S., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic: 
Waste-to-energy
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) has proven to be an effective method for transforming organic waste into biogas, a renewable energy source that can play a crucial role in reducing our dependence on finite fossil fuels. Despite its widespread use, mono-digestion, where a single substrate is utilized, is...Read more

Nutrients recovery from liquid anaerobic digestate by combining nanofiltration and struvite precipitation - The case of dairy effluents valorization

Tsaridou C., (Corresponding) Karanasiou A., Sioutopoulos D., Plakas K., Tzioumaklis C., Patsikas N., Gliaos P., Karabelas A.
Topic: 
Sustainable supply of raw materials
Results are reported herein of a study aiming to develop an integrated process for valorizing liquid digestate (LD) from an industrial anaerobic digestion (AD) plant treating dairy-processing effluents. The investigated approach involves LD treatment by nanofiltration (NF) membranes, at pilot-scale...Read more

Direct upgrading of biogas produced by anaerobic digestion: preliminary results at laboratory scale

Bonaccorsi L., Fazzino F., Fotia A., Malara A., Pedullà A., (Corresponding) Calabrò P.
Topic: 
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The present study investigated, at laboratory scale, the possibility of achieving biogas upgrading with a single step of treatment, namely without involving any pre- or post-treatment or multiple stage recirculation. In this respect, three commercial molecular sieves (i.e., Honeywell 13X, 4A, and...Read more
