Membrane Distillation Treating a Petrochemical Reverse Osmosis Concentrate
(Corresponding) Venzke C., Giacobbo A., Rodrigues M., Bernardes A.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
This study investigated the applicability of Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) process for the treatment of a petrochemical industry effluent, intending to recover water from the concentrate produced by reverse osmosis (RO). In DCMD, the experiments were accomplished with a feed and...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
Keywords:
Forward osmosis, synthetic municipal wastewater, water flux, NaCl, draw solution
Evaluation of Pressure-Driven Membrane Processes for Nutrients Recovery from Dilute Effluents
Tsaridou C., Karanasiou A., (Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Results are presented from an ongoing R&D project, aiming at full utilization of dairy-industry effluents. Development of a membrane-based method is pursued, for treatment of digestate (after fermentation yielding bio-gas) to recover nutrients (N-NH4, P-PO4) and water for reuse/recycling or...Read more
Keywords:
nanofiltration, ultra-low-pressure reverse osmosis, dairy industry effluents, anaerobic digestate, ammonium and phosphorous recovery
Desalinated Water and Power for a Seaside Hotel: A Case Study using Off-grid Solar and Wind
Tounsi A., Ghamgui M., (Corresponding) Tadeo F.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
A hybrid combination of solar and wind energies for a remote seaside hotel is analyzed. More specifically, a hotel in Hammamet, Tunisia, powered by photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine is evaluated, with water generated by desalination using reverse osmosis. This isolated accommodation...Read more
Treatment and Reuse of Industrial Wastewater Using Reverse Osmosis System
(Corresponding) Ahmadzadeh-Kaleybar F., Emamifar M., Bagheri M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
From a few years ago, using reverse osmosis in water refinery and desalination, in order to provide clean water for necessary requirements has been considered as a common method. In the current study, the reverse osmosis, in the water refinery process of Miyaneh steel factory (northwest of Iran)...Read more
Lessons learned by modelling biogas production in an Italian state-of-the-art landfill active for 35 years
Folino A., Gentili E., Komilis D., (Corresponding) Calabrò P.
Topic:
Solid waste management
"Fossetto" landfill is in operation in the municipality of Monsummano Terme (Tuscany, Italy) since 1988, at its origin, it was used as a controlled landfill where mixed municipal solid waste, without any separate collection, was disposed of. Since 2003, a biogas recovery system is active...Read more
