The continuous-flow aerobic granular sludge-membrane bioreactor (AGS-MBR) system represents an efficient and sustainable technology for wastewater treatment. AGS, a spherical or ellipsoidal granular sludge formed through microbial self-aggregation un...
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a powerful method that allows community surveillance to identify diseases/pandemic dynamics in a city, especially in metropolitan areas with high overpopulation. This study investigated the detection and quantif...
Monitoring the microparticle transfer process in wastewater treatment systems is crucial for improving treatment performance. Supervised deep learning methods show high performance to automatically detect particles, but they rely on vast amounts of l...
Heat pump drying technology based on sewage heat source is an eco-friendly sludge drying method. It can effectively reduce the pollution of natural water bodies by waste heat while reducing energy consumption. However, the drying characteristics of s...
To achieve higher denitrification efficiency with reduced energy consumption in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) system, a systematic evaluation of the carbon and nitrogen metabolism process for AGS under different stage is essential. Herein, this study...
Controllers of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) often struggle to maintain optimal performance due to dynamic influent characteristics and the need to balance multiple operational objectives. In this study, Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms a...
