Statistical monitoring of a wastewater treatment plant: A case study.

Journal of environmental management
The efficient operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is key to ensuring a sustainable and friendly green environment. Monitoring wastewater processes is helpful not only for evaluating the process operating conditions but also for inspectin...

Use of artificial neuronal networks for prediction of the control parameters in the process of anaerobic digestion with thermal pretreatment.

Journal of environmental science and health. Part A, Toxic/hazardous substances & environmental engineering
This article focuses on the analysis of the behavior patterns of the variables involved in the anaerobic digestion process. The objective is to predict the impact factor and the behavior pattern of the variables, i.e., temperature, pH, volatile solid...

Feedforward neural network model estimating pollutant removal process within mesophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket bioreactor treating industrial starch processing wastewater.

Bioresource technology
In this a, three-layered feedforward-backpropagation artificial neural network (BPANN) model was developed and employed to evaluate COD removal an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor treating industrial starch processing wastewater. At the...

Continuous energy recovery and nutrients removal from molasses wastewater by synergistic system of dark fermentation and algal culture under various fermentation types.

Bioresource technology
Synergistic system of dark fermentation and algal culture was initially operated at batch mode to investigate the energy production and nutrients removal from molasses wastewater in butyrate-type, ethanol-type and propionate-type fermentations. Butyr...

Rhodococcus wratislaviensis strain 9: An efficient p-nitrophenol degrader with a great potential for bioremediation.

Journal of hazardous materials
A Gram-positive bacterium, Rhodococcus wratislaviensis strain 9, was isolated from groundwater contaminated with nitrophenolics and trichloroethene following enrichment culture technique. The cells of strain 9 grown on LB broth (uninduced) degraded 7...

Efficient heavy metal removal from industrial melting effluent using fixed-bed process based on porous hydrogel adsorbents.

Water research
High adsorption capacity, fast adsorption kinetics, good reusability and low cost are highly demanded for adsorbents used in practical adsorption process. In this study, a porous double network Jute/Polyacrylic acid (Jute/PAA) gel was prepared using ...

Modeling and Multiresponse Optimization for Anaerobic Codigestion of Oil Refinery Wastewater and Chicken Manure by Using Artificial Neural Network and the Taguchi Method.

BioMed research international
To study the optimum process conditions for pretreatments and anaerobic codigestion of oil refinery wastewater (ORWW) with chicken manure, L (3) Taguchi's orthogonal array was applied. The biogas production (BGP), biomethane content (BMP), and chemic...

Removal of pharmaceutical compounds from urban wastewater by an advanced bio-oxidation process based on fungi Trametes versicolor immobilized in a continuous RBC system.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are not able to remove completely some emerging contaminants, such as residual pharmaceutical compounds (PCs) with potential ecotoxicity to water bodies. An advanced bio-oxidation process (ABOP) using ...

Combinative treatment of phenol-rich retting-pond wastewater by a hybrid upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor and solar photofenton process.

Journal of environmental management
In this study, recalcitrant rich retting-pond wastewater was treated primarily by anaerobic treatment and subsequently treated with a solar photofenton process to remove phenol and organics. The anaerobic treatment was carried out in a granulated lab...

Occurrence and characteristics of extended-spectrum β-lactamase- and carbapenemase- producing bacteria from hospital effluents in Singapore.

The Science of the total environment
One of the most important resistance mechanisms in Gram-negative bacteria today is the production of enzymes causing resistance to cephalosporin and carbapenem antibiotics. The spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)- and carbapenemase- produ...
