Mass and energy balances of sewage sludge pyrolysis in a lab rotary kiln
(Corresponding) Mendoza L., Gómez A., Rincón S.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The aim of this work is to study the influence of the main parameters of sewage pyrolysis in a rotary kiln on the product distriburion and energy balances. An indirectly heated rotary kiln at a laboratory scale was used (4 kg/h). An increase in the final temperature causes the reduction of the...Read more

The potential impact of an implementation of microalgae-based wastewater treatment on the energy balance of a municipal WWTP in Central Europe
(Corresponding) Hasport N., Krahe D., Kuchendorf C., Theilen U., Beier S.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
The integration of a photobioreactor for wastewater treatment by microalgae is proposed as a future alternative for cost-efficient and environmentally friendly nitrogen and phosphorous removal in municipal WWTPs. The high growth rates and higher biogas yields (compared to conventional sewage sludge...Read more
