Exploitation of Treated Municipal Wastewater in Arid Regions Irrigation for Volatile Oils Production
Radwan S., (Corresponding) Ashour E.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
To avoid any contamination risk of edible crops, the safety use of treated municipal wastewater is growing industrial non-food crops such aromatic plants to produce volatile oils for manufacturing soaps, cosmetics and perfumes, etc. Two field experiments were conducted in a sandy soil in western...Read more

Investigating the effect of different NaCl concentrations as draw solution used to concentrate synthetic municipal wastewater in a Forward Osmosis system
(Corresponding) Kappa S., Themeli E., Noutsopoulos C., Malamis S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The main bottleneck towards resource and energy valorization of municipal wastewater is the low strength of sewage; characterized by low organic matter and nutrient concentrations. In this study, a bench scale Forward Osmosis (FO) system with a cellulose triacetate membrane (CTA) was used as a pre-...Read more

Anaerobic Digestion of Municipal Wastewater (MWW) in a Periodic Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (PABR)
Zarkaliou A., Kougias C., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The scope of this work is to study the treatment of municipal wastewater in a Periodic Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (PABR). PABR is an innovative, high-rate bioreactor, designed to operate under high organic loadings. Apart from the Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) an important operational parameter 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

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
