Municipal Wastewater Treatment Using Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR): Mechanisms, Performance and Microbial Community
DownloadSpring 2024
The current drive for energy neutrality, drastic reduction in energy costs and increasingly stringent wastewater discharge rules has led to the quest for the development of more energy efficient and effective wastewater treatment technologies. MABR is one of these developing technologies. MABR is...

Optimizing Anaerobic Treatment to Enhance Energy Recovery from High-Strength Waste and Wastewater
DownloadFall 2024
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a promising technology for the sustainable treatment of high-strength waste and wastewater, offering the potential for energy recovery. However, various factors can inhibit the AD process, requiring well-balanced operational strategies to optimize different stages of...

Methodologies in Mechanistic and Machine Learning Modelling of Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Wastewater Treatment Processes
DownloadFall 2024
Nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, significantly contributes to the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), with a global warming potential 300 times that of CO2 and also notorious for its ozone-depleting effect. Modelling can be a valuable alternative to...

Resource recovery strategies for municipal water planning and management: a system dynamics modeling approach
DownloadFall 2023
The true value of water has not yet been captured in municipal water planning and management, despite the increasing availability of technologies designed to create value from wastewater. Adapting system processes for water reclamation, energy generation, and production of other outputs (such as...

Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs) Nanocomposite Films for Sustained Release of CNCs and Enhanced Anti-biofouling Property
DownloadFall 2022
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are nanoparticles with high aspect ratios and excellent surface tunability and are processed from renewable bioresource. CNCs possess unique surface and colloidal properties which makes it an efficient depletion inducer for flocculating colloidal sized bacteria from...

Life Cycle Assessment of a Community-Based Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery System: Sewage Heat Recovery and MBR for Water Reuse
DownloadSpring 2021
Municipal sewage contains significant embedded resources in the form of chemical and thermal energy. Recent developments in sustainable technology has pushed for the integration of resource recovery from household wastewater to achieve net zero energy consumption and carbon neutral communities....

Treatment of Source Separated Greywater Using Microbial Electrolysis Cell and Granular Activated Carbon Biofilter
DownloadSpring 2021
Source-diverted greywater contributes to 60-70 % of conventional wastewater in volume and has a low organic matter concentration as compared to conventional wastewater. Greywater constitutes a high concentration of surfactants that are toxic in nature for the microbial community, which poses a...

Fall 2020
The demand for fresh water is steadily increasing as a result of the increasing human populations and activities. On the other hand, water sources are limited, especially as the global warming continues to change the quantities and distribution of water all over the world. Therefore, focusing the...

Anaerobic Ammonia Oxidation (ANAMMOX) processes for Ammonium-rich Lagoon Supernatant Treatment
DownloadFall 2020
Ammonium-N and phosphate-P-rich anaerobic digester sludge liquor recovered during sewage sludge dewatering contributes more than 30% of the total nitrogen loading when returned to the municipal wastewater plant. Hence, side stream treatment could offer an economic alternative given its relatively...

Direct filtration of Cryptosporidium surrogates in drinking water treatment-a multiscale approach
DownloadSpring 2019
Cryptosporidium, a waterborne protozoan pathogen that can cause gastrointestinal illness, is often found in surface waters that are used to supply drinking water. Filtration is a major barrier against Cryptosporidium in drinking water treatment processes. However, interactions between oocysts and...
