The anaerobic digestion of organic matter causes the formation of biogas that can be used in energy conversion systems for the production of electricity and heat, injection into the gas grid or as a fuel. However, biogas ...
This thesis is focused on two environmental issues. The first one is the recovery of different wastes, such as sewage sludge and fly ashes, and the second one is related to the removal of odour causing compounds which are ...
Biological nutrient removal has been studied and applied for decades in order to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater. However, more anthropogenic uses and the continued demand for water have forced the facilities ...
The presence of nitrates (NO3-) in groundwater is a worldwide concern. The high energy demand and environmental impact of available technologies requires investigating new technologies. This thesis was focused on investigating ...
Tourism has become one of the most important economic sectors in the Mediterranean coast. Despite the economic benefits generated by tourism at local and regional level, the environmental impacts related to water consumption ...
En aquesta tesi es presenten dues propostes de Sistemes de Control basats en Lògica Difusa (SCLD), des del seu disseny fins a la seva implementació i validació en dues instal·lacions: l'EDAR Granollers i l'EDAR Taradell.<br/>El ...
In the last decades and due to the Water Framework Directive implementation, the urban wastewater cycle management has become more complex. The concept of integrated urban wastewater system management is introduced, and ...
Aquesta tesi presenta un projecte de gestió integral d'infraestructures hidràuliques de sanejament a la Conca del riu Besòs. S'han considerat dos sistemes de sanejament (La Garriga i Granollers) amb les seves respectives ...
The thesis involves the development and implementation of a new and robust control system based on permeability trends but at the same time capable of reducing aeration proportionally to permeate flux. Permeability was ...
The wastewater treatment plays an important role in the maintenance of natural water resources. However, regardless of the technology used or the level of treatment required, the treatment plants of the XXI century are ...
This thesis is based on diagnosing, assessing and optimising the design and operation of membrane bioreactors (MBR) used for treating municipal wastewater. Specifically, this thesis has been carried out within the framework ...
The biological treatment of industrial wastewater containing high nitrogen concentrations (>1000 mg N L-1) and low biodegradable organic matter (bCOD) such as landfill leachate is nowadays challenging. Conventional ...
El aumento de la cantidad de lodos y las dificultades inherentes a su aplicación agrícola y/o disposición en vertederos, hace necesario encontrar nuevas alternativas para su gestión. A nivel europeo, hoy en día se tiende ...
This doctoral thesis has integrated biological models (activated sludge models “ASM”) with simulation tools of computational fluid dynamics “CFD”, and has applied them to the design of two advanced technologies for wastewater ...
La gestió de l'aigua residual és una tasca complexa. Hi ha moltes substàncies contaminants conegudes però encara moltes per conèixer, i el seu efecte individual o col·lgectiu és difícil de predir. La identificació i avaluació ...
Environmental pollution related to odour emission has become in the last years an important public concern. Closeness of odour-causing facilities such as waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) to urban areas further aggravates ...
Human and veterinary pharmaceuticals have been recognized as ubiquitous water microcontaminants with potential subtle detrimental effects on aquatic organisms. The majority of pharmaceutical compounds, after being consumed ...
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are one of the main groups of odour causing compounds in Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP). Adsorption technology is already established, in recent years the interest for the optimization ...
Actualment, la legislació ambiental ha esdevingut més restrictiva pel que fa a la descàrrega d'aigües residuals amb nutrients, especialment en les anomenades àrees sensibles o zones vulnerables. Arran d'aquest fet, s'ha ...
The selection of the most appropriate wastewater treatment involves a complex decision making process. For that reason, some tools have been developed in recent years in order to deal with this complexity, as Novedar_EDSS ...
