Challenges in biological treatment plants: the approach of zero sludge waste
THEOFANIDIS S., Samiotis G., Bellos D., Pekridis G., Tsioptsias C., (Corresponding) Amanatidou E.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The current trend in operation of biological Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) is the minimization of sludge wastage due to its labor and cost intensive management process. Minimization of sludge can be achieved by increasing the solids retention time (SRT) in a WWTP, up to an almost complete...Read more
Aerobic degradation of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) from effluents of semiconductor industries: kinetic studies of laboratory and pilot experiments
(Corresponding) Innocenzi V., De Michelis I., Ippolito N., Mazziotti Di Celso G., Prisciandaro M., Vegliò F.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Aerobic degradation of effluents contains tetramethylammonium hydroxide molecules (TMAH), coming from an electronic industry, were studied at laboratory and pilot scale. At the first, the preliminary experiments were conducted using a lab scale reactor inoculated with activated sludge coming from...Read more

Use of a two-stage MBBR system for medium-strength dairy wastewater treatment
Katsara A., Iliopoulou A., Zkeri E., Aloupi M., Fountoulakis M., (Corresponding) Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
A two-stage Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) system consisting of a methanogenic and an aerobic reactor in series was used for medium strength dairy wastewater treatment. An energy analysis was conducted for the methanogenic MBBR to investigate its autonomy and its potential to act as a...Read more
