UN(K)NOWN Project: Development of Anammox microbial inocula to improve nitrogen removal efficiency in wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Ribeiro H., Machado A., Costa-Dias S., Wijaya I., Salgado P., Bordalo A., Teixeira C.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The discovery of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) revealed the existence of a shortcut in the classic nitrogen cycle where ammonium is converted directly to dinitrogen gas. Anammox process can be used to develop more cost and energy-efficient sustainable nitrogen removal systems comparing to...Read more
Start-up of the nitrogen removal process in an anaerobic up-flow reactor inoculated with aeration tank sludge
Wijaya I., (Corresponding) Ribeiro H., Soedjono E., Slamet ., Teixeira C., Bordalo A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) has been considered a promisingly alternative to traditional nitrification/denitrification to remove nitrogen in an autotrophic process, without using an external carbon source, requiring low energy consumption and sludge production. The start-up of the...Read more
Application of quorum quenching to improve performance of membrane bioreactors: A comprehensive mini-review
(Corresponding) Banti D., Kampouris I., Yiangou M., (Corresponding) Samaras P.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have been widely used for wastewater treatment, presenting however a major disadvantage, the membrane fouling problem. The sludge microorganisms produce soluble microbial products (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that lead to a formation of a sticky...Read more
