Spring 2017
Interest in organic waste treatment has increased in recent years due to growing rate of organic waste generation. Implementing biotransformation technologies helps to divert organic waste from landfill, reduce greenhouse gas emission, and produce valuable final products. This research was...

Life Cycle Assessment of North American Conventional Crudes for Production of Transportation Fuels
DownloadSpring 2015
Global energy demand is expected to grow substantially and will lead to increased production of crude oil from various sources. The production of crude oil and it’s conversion to transportation fuels result in the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. As one of the highest...

Roles of extracellular polymeric substances on the fate of antibiotic resistance genes in anaerobic digestion of thermally hydrolyzed sewage sludge
DownloadFall 2022
Antibiotic-related contaminants have recently been detected globally in natural and engineered ecosystems. Due to high concentrations of residual antibiotics in wastewater and organic feedstocks used for anaerobic digestion (AD), wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and sludge are substantial...

Spring 2013
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is one of the important environmental issues that world is facing today. Biomass usage, specifically capturing energy from biomass that would otherwise decay, is one the of many options available to mitigate the impact of the buildup of GHG emissions from fossil...

Techno-economic Assessment of Utilization of Food Processing Waste for Production of Energy and Chemicals
DownloadSpring 2017
Alberta’s food processing industry is the second largest food waste producer after the household sector. Most of the waste currently produced by the food processing industry is landfilled. Decomposing landfill waste emits greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming. We estimated...

The Development of a Framework for Modelling Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Scenarios in the Electricity Generation Sector
DownloadFall 2017
Low- or zero-emitting alternative sources of energy have become widely sought for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. Specifically, in the electricity generation sector, governments, utilities, regulators, and institutions have announced and implemented integrated policy measures...

The Impact of Semi-continuous and Alternating Microbial Feeding Patterns on Methane Yield from UASB Reactors
DownloadSpring 2023
The anaerobic treatment of wastewater is considered a promising technology for simultaneous organic matter removal and energy recovery. Compared to aerobic digestion, anaerobic digestion conserves energy and is cost-effective in handling high-strength wastewater and wastes. However, the high...
