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

(Corresponding) Plevri A., Samios S., Lytras E., Papadopoulos K., Lioumis C., Lazari A., Tazes N., Monokrousou K., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Within the framework of the Horizon 2020, a European project called NextGen evaluates and champions transformational circular economy solutions and systems around resource use in the water sector. The Athens demo site is located in the Athens Urban Tree Nursery which is part of the Goudi Park, an...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
The DPSIR framework for integrating the Ecosystem Services in River Nestos lagoons- Greece.
Pournara A., Mirli A., Latinopoulos D., (Corresponding) Kagkalou I.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
It is well documented that conservation and management of water resources are directly related to the sustainable living, i.e. to social, economic and environmental aspects. There has been much effort by the European research community to provide tools to support the implementation of freshwater...Read more
Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in Greece: lessons learnt from the case of the Inner Ionian Sea – Corinthian Gulf
(Corresponding) PAPAGEORGIOU M., BERIATOS E.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The marine area of the Inner Ionian Sea and the Corinthian Gulf was studied in terms of MSP in the framework of the SUPREME EU project, which was undertaken by the Ministry for the Environment and Energy, with the collaboration of NTUA, UTh and NKUA.
Key task of the project was all countries...Read more
Trends in hydrologic prediction for the design of hydraulic projects
(Corresponding) Daniil E., Michas S.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Estimation and prediction of runoff and related design discharges under past and future conditions are key elements for the design of flood defense, watercourse demarcation, urban stormwater, road drainage systems. Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation, Greece, is in the process of...Read more
Updating hydrologic studies and the impact on hydraulic design
(Corresponding) DANIIL E., MICHAS S.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Flood events causing damages, fatalities, trigger new flood protection studies. Updated hydrologic study conforming with recent develop¬ments is required. Implementation of 2007/60/EU Directive led to Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment and Flood Risk Management Plans, establishment of related...Read more

hydrologic prediction, flood protection, hydraulic design, IDFs, past and present conditions
EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS MEASURES ON THE AIR QUALITY AS A TOOL TO IMPLEMENT PREVENTION STRATEGIES
Oliva G., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Senatore V., Giaquinto D., Galang M., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Air pollution
The World Health Organization (WHO) at the end of January 2020 declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). At the end of March 2020, the epidemic turned into the pandemic. The consequent stringent lockdown measures adopted to mitigate the spread of the virus generated huge...Read more

Odours emitted from industrial and environmental protection plants have been included among atmospheric pollutants as they are cause of annoyance for the exposed residents. The control of the odour emissions is therefore a key aspect to pursue. The research presents and discusses the development of...Read more
