Scientific Results

This catalogue is obtained by conducting a systematic literature review of scientific studies and reviews related to monitoring, forecasting, and simulating the inland water cycle. The analysis maps scientific expertise across research groups and classifies findings by the type of inland water studied, application focus, and geographical scope. A gap analysis will identify missing research areas and assess their relevance to policymaking.

Ghangrekar Biomass granulation in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor treating 500 m 3 /day low strength sewage and post treatment in high rate algal pond 10.2166/wst.2017.269 Uncategorized Uncategorized A pilot-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket-moving bed biofilm (UASB-MBB) reactor followed by a high-rate algal pond (HRAP) was designed and operated to remove organic matter, nutrients and pathogens from sewage and to facilitate reuse. For an influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration of 233 ± 20 mg/L, final effluent COD was 50 ± 6 mg/L. Successful biomass granulation was observed in the sludge bed of the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor after 5 months of operation. Ammonia removal in HRAP was 85.1 ± 2.4% with average influent and effluent ammonia nitrogen concentrations of 20 ± 3 mg/L and 3 ± 1 mg/L, respectively. Phosphate removal after treatment in the HRAP was 91 ± 1%. There was a 2–3 log scale pathogen removal after treatment in HRAP with most probable number (MPN) of the final effluent being 600–800 per 100 mL, which is within acceptable standards for surface irrigation. The blackwater after treatment in UASB-MBBR-HRAP is being reused for gardening and landscaping. This proper hydro-dynamically designed UASB reactor demonstrated successful granulation and moving bed media improved sludge retention in UASB reactor. This combination of UASB-MBB reactor followed by HRAP demonstrated successful sewage treatment for a year covering all seasons. 308672

Valorization of olive mill waste water (OMWW) presents significant challenges mainly due to the high phenolic content of the wastewater which leads to high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and dark color. There is an insistent requirement for strategies to control these wastes through technologies able to minimize their negative environmental effect and to convert them to sustainable resources. Different micro‐organisms and techniques have been tested to valorize OMWW. This review, after presenting a general overview, focuses critically on the most significant recent advances in the various types of biological valorization techniques of OMWW. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd 311933
