Influence of microbial fuel cell integration on organic matter and nutrient removal in a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Gonzalez T., Miranda J., Vidal G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The combination of constructed wetlands (CWs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has emerged in recent years with the purpose of enhancing wastewater treatment efficiency of CWs while simultaneously generating electricity. Taking the above into account, the aim of this study is to evaluate the...Read more
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
Hybrid zero liquid discharge (ZLD) membrane/chemical process for the treatment of oil sands produced water
Mohammadtabar F., (Corresponding) Khorshidi B., Hayatbakhsh A., (Corresponding) Sadrzadeh M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In this study, the applicability of a hybrid chemical/membrane process for the treatment of the boiler blow-down (BBD) water from steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operation was explored. For the chemical pre-treatment prior to the membrane filtration, another waste stream of SAGD, i.e., ion...Read more

TREATMENT OF SLAUGHTER HOUSE WASTEWATER UTILIZING COGON GRASS (Imperata cylindrica) IN A SUBSURFACE FLOW SYSTEM CONSTRUCTED WETLAND IN ZAMBOANGA CITY, PHILIPPINES
(Corresponding) Flores R., (Corresponding) Adil J.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Natural treatment systems are gaining a preference for wastewater treatment as an ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change. This study investigated the performance of a laboratory scale horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (SSFCW) planted with cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) in...Read more
Nitrification inhibition test of salty wastewater containing Tetrakishydroxymethyl phosphonium sulphate (THPS), formaldehyde and methanol using salt-adapted nitrifying bacteria, an alternative test method to ISO method
(Corresponding) Chhetri R., Kokkoli A., Karvelas S., Andersen H.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Nitrification inhibition test is a standard method to test if the chemicals or samples received by wastewater treatment plant are toxic to the nitrifying bacteria in the wastewater treatment plant. Nitrification inhibition test based on ISO method ISO9509 or modified ISO9509 method (REFLAB method)...Read more

Anaerobic MBR technology for treating municipal wastewater at ambient temperatures
(Corresponding) Plevri A., Mamais D., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
An innovative way to treat municipal wastewater and produce energy at the same time is anaerobic treatment. Anaerobic processes are traditionally used for high-strength wastewater or municipal sludge treatment and only recently have been applied for the treatment of low strength municipal...Read more
Treatment of High Strength Industrial Wastewater utilizing Canna X generalis in a Simulated Vertical Flow Constructed Wetland Set-up
(Corresponding) Ballesteros F., Antonio H., Esguerra G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In the Philippines, DENR has mandated the regulation of oil and grease, COD, and TSS for automotive parts manufacturers. Wastewaters from industries have varying pollution strength that requires efficient treatment systems of combined physical, biological, and chemical processes. However, these...Read more

Isolation and identification of microorganisms that can biodegrade organic compounds which are present in olive mill waste.
(Corresponding) Antwnopoulou P., Vyrides I., Stasinakis A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Isolation of microorganisms that can biodegrade organic compounds which are present in olive mill waste and more specifically microorganisms that can survive at high phenol concentrations was studied in the Environmental Engineering Laboratory for three months in the Department of Environmental...Read more
Systems improvement and energy savings program for the existing conventional extended aerobic treatment of domestic wastewater in compliance of DAO 2016-08 new general effluent regulations
Maceda M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This is a system improvement and energy savings program for a Sewage Treatment Plant treating wastewater coming from a shopping mall operation. Wastewater from shopping mall is considered domestic wastewater, which needs a big volume of water, and produced big amount of wastewater. Generators of...Read more
