An evaluation of the 24 existing pond systems for treatment of urban wastewater in Catalonia (north-eastern Spain) was conducted in 1997-1998. The evaluation covered 13 aerated ponds, 7 waste stabilization ponds (WSP), and 4 maturation ponds added to conventional biological wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The technical characteristics of the pond systems were obtained through a survey completed during several visits to the plants. Performance data was supplied by the Catalonia Wastewater Agency and the monthly monitoring campaigns conducted during 12 months in five WWTP. The average ratio of water surface to population equivalent (p-e) is 1.3 m2/p-e for aerated ponds, 9.6 m2/p-e for WSP and 1.7 m2/p-e for maturation ponds added to conventional WWTP. Average electrical energy consumption is 0.5 kW.h/m3 for aerated ponds and 0.04 kW.h/m3 for WSP (when wastewater has to be pumped from the sewer). Most of the WSP show an inadequate level O & M, because the very limited operator attendance (0.6 h/dayon average) as compared to aerated ponds (3.2 h/day on average). Effluent quality of aerated ponds (31 mg SS/l and 22 mg BOD5/l, on average) is usually better that of WSP (100 mg SS/l and 67 mg BOD5/l, on average). Most of the WSP are overloaded, with only two of the pond systems receiving less than 50 kg BOD5/ha. Facultative WSP show a better performance than anaerobic WSP; anaerobic WSP have very high overloading conditions (with more than 250 kg BOD5/ha.d). Average effluent quality of all the pond systems studied comply with European Union standards.

The challenges facing the design and operation of small community wastewater treatment plants are discussed. The package plant concept is considered and the consequent development of a compact intermittently aerated activated sludge package plant is outlined. A four month trial period, comprising the first part of the evaluation, is described. Results from this trial show that the plant can serve communities of up to 300 p.e. and that treated effluent quality conforms to the General South African Standards. The compact design and unique operating regime offer reduced capital and running costs respectively.

Wastewater effluents from the sugar industry contain high concentrations of organic materials which are sometimes discharged into the municipal wastewater collection system and processed in wastewater treatment plants along with domestic wastewater. This study examined the performance of a four-compartment, fixed-film system in which the biofilm is attached to submerged ceramic tiles under diffused aeration, known as the aerated submerged fixed-film (ASFF) process. Field experiments were conducted using four ASFF units each of about 100 1 capacity operated at different hydraulic loading rates to provide hydraulic residence time (HRT) of 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours. Process performance was evaluated under both normal operation with domestic wastewater and under pulse and prolonged organic shock loads with sugar wastewater. The influent and effluent of the process was analyzed for solids, BOD, COD, and nitrogen forms to determine both carbonaceous and nitrogenous substrate removal. The ASFF process was found to be able to handle continuous severe organic loads increasing from about 5 to 120 g BOD/m2.d with slight decrease in organic removal efficiency from 97.9% to 88.5% for BOD and from 73.6 to 67.8% for COD. Nitrification was similarly decreased but at higher rates. The system was also able to cope with pulse injection of sugar wastewater and recovery to normal steady-state COD values was achieved in 10 hours for the 200 g COD/l spikes. An increase in the organic loading rate was accompanied by an increase in biofilm specific oxygen uptake rate until reaching a maximum which determines the optimum loading rate for process operation. Substrate removal rates were evaluated for process design.

The cyclic or sequencing batch activated sludge process was applied for the treatment of septage originating from cesspools serving non-sewered areas. Single and two stage systems were investigated in bench scale units. The single stage aerated system was capable in removing practically all the biodegradable COD and producing a well stabilised excess sludge with excellent settling and thickening characteristics. With respect to nitrogen the average removal rate was to the order of 70%, but the performance was unstable due to periodic strong inhibition of the nitrification process. Subsequent treatment in a second stage aerated unit improved nitrification but did not result in higher nitrogen removal rates due to the increased concentrations of oxidised nitrogen. An anoxic second stage post denitrification unit resulted in an overall nitrogen removal of 88%, through a substantial reduction of nitrates. Further improvement of the system, with nitrogen removal of about 95% and average effluent nitrogen concentrations lower than 10 mg.1−1, can be achieved by adoption of a two stage system consisting of a first aerated stage unit, followed by a second stage unit with alternating aerated and anoxic cycles and addition of external carbon during the anoxic cycle.

Abstract There is increasing pressure on water treatment practitioners to demonstrate and deliver best value and sustainability for the end user. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the sustainability and economics, using whole life costing, of wastewater treatment technologies used in small community wastewater treatment works (WwTW) of <2,000 population equivalent (PE). Three comparable wastewater treatment technologies – a saturated vertical flow (SVF) aerated wetland, a submerged aerated filter (SAF) and a rotating biological contactor (RBC) – were compared using whole life cost (WLC) assessment. The study demonstrates that the CAPEX of a technology or asset is only a small proportion of the WLC throughout its operational life. For example, the CAPEX of the SVF aerated wetland scenario presented here is up to 74% (mean = 66 ± 6%) less than the cumulative WLC throughout a 40-year operational time scale, which demonstrates that when comparing technology economics, the most cost-effective solution is one that considers both CAPEX and OPEX. The WLC assessment results indicate that over 40 years, the SVF aerated wetland and RBC technologies have comparable net present value (NPV) WLCs which are significantly below those identified for submerged aerated filter systems (SAF) for treatment of wastewater from communities of <1,000PE. For systems designed to treat wastewater from communities of >1,000PE, the SVF aerated wetland was more economical over 40 years, followed by the RBC and then the SAF. The aerated wetland technology can therefore potentially deliver long-term cost benefits and reduced payback periods compared to alternative treatment technologies for treating wastewater from small communities.

Summary Most recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) use aerated biofilters to maintain suitable water quality for fish production. However, application of non-aerated biofilters may provide opportunities to lower aeration costs, water usage and concentration of all nitrogenous wastes in the effluent water. Our study aimed at comparing the biofiltration performance characteristics of two biofilters: a conventional aerated biofilter and a non-aerated biofilter receiving the same effluent water from a small-scale RAS. The two biofilters were evaluated in triplicate and tested concurrently for seven months. Water quality parameters were monitored at the biofilter inlets and outlets and in the fish tanks. At the beginning of the experiment, the concentration of ammonia at the two biofilter outlets were not significantly different. However, the concentrations decreased with time reaching mean values of 1.33 ± 0.02 mg L−1 and 1.23 ± 0.21 mg L−1 N-NH4 in the aerated and non-aerated biofilters, respectively. Whereas phosphorus and nitrate levels were significantly high in the aerated biofilter. There was no significant difference in the growth of fish between the aerated and non-aerated biofilters. The results suggest that non-aerated biofilters can be as effective as aerated biofilters in maintaining suitable water quality for O. niloticus production.

The overall aim of this research was to contribute to the optimisation of aerobic wastewater treatment processes in sequencing batch reactors, by investigating the performance of the process with real and model wastewaters in order to achieve the highest possible reduction of influent COD with the minimum reactor volume and oxygen consumption. Six industrial wastewaters from the food and drink companies were treated in lab-scale aerobic sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) inoculated with soil and monitored for COD and total suspended solids (TSS) removal. The results showed high COD removal efficiencies for all the wastewaters, in the range of 64-95 %. Extended aeration tests were carried out on the reactor effluents and the results indicated that the residual soluble COD was not further biodegradable. This indicates that the soluble BOD removal in the reactors was virtually 100 %. The biodegradation efficiency was investigated over two values of the solids retention time (SRT) and the performance of the reactors was essentially unaffected by the SRT (in the range of 7-18 days considered in this study). This means that very good COD removal can be achieved at relatively lower SRT, with potential savings in capital and operating costs. The removal of TSS for the wastewaters was not satisfactory, largely due to the low food to microorganism (F/M) ratios (0.13-0.29 kg COD/kg biomass.day) in the reactors. Three batch tests at different initial substrate to biomass (So/Xo) ratios were carried out on each of the two industrial wastewaters for kinetic characterisation of the wastewaters. Oxygen uptake rate (OUR) was measured during the tests and the OUR profiles were used for the estimation of the kinetic parameters using a mathematical model consisting of substrate hydrolysis, biomass growth and endogenous metabolism. The results showed large variations with regards to the values of the parameters for each wastewater due to day-to-day variability in the biomass's response to substrate utilisation. For the two industrial wastewaters, the hydrolysis rate constant (kh) and half saturation constant for slowly biodegradable substrate (KX) were found to be in the range of 2.21-14.8 kg COD/kg biomass.day and 0.006-0.45 kg COD/kg biomass respectively. The maximum growth rate (μmax) and the half saturation rate constant for readily biodegradable substrates (KS) ranged between 1.21-7.3 day-1 and 0.004-0.89 kg COD/m3 respectively. The biomass growth yield (YX/S) and the endogenous metabolism coefficient (b) were found to be 0.3-0.57 kg biomass/kg COD and 0.001-0.41 day -1 respectively. The hydraulic retention time (HRT) and SRT were optimised in order to minimise the SBR volume and maximise the organic loading rate (OLR) of the SBR process. Two model wastewaters, glucose and ethanol, were used in the study. An experiment of eleven different SBR runs (HRT in the range of 0.25-4 days and SRT of 1-65.3 days) was carried on the glucose wastewater. Nine different SBR runs were carried out on ethanol wastewater (HRT in the range of 0.5-4 days and SRT of 1-73.6 days). The minimum HRT and SRT values for the successful operation for glucose wastewater treatment were 0.25 days and 3.1 days respectively while the minimum HRT and SRT for ethanol were 0.5 days and 4.9 days respectively. The highest corresponding OLR values from the minimum HRT and SRT which gave satisfactory process performance were 4.28 g COD/l.day and 4.14 g COD/l.day for glucose and ethanol wastewaters respectively, which are among the highest OLRs reported in the literature for aerobic conventional dispersed-growth processes. The calculated oxygen consumption and biomass production were found to depend on the SRT as well as the OLR, where in general, oxygen consumption increased while biomass production decreased at higher OLR. Batch tests were also carried out on the two model wastewaters for kinetic characterisation. The kinetic parameters for glucose wastewater were: 1.07-4.79 day -1 for μmax, 0.24-0.45 kg COD/m3 for KS, 0.04-0.1 day-1 and 0.47-0.6 kg biomass/kg COD for b and YX/S respectively. For ethanol wastewater, the kinetic parameters were: 0.99-2.3 day -1 for μmax, 0.001-0.04 kg COD/m3 for KS, 0.05-0.2 day-1 and 0.38-0.51 kg biomass/kg COD for b and YX/S respectively. A new mathematical model and procedure to calculate the periodic steady state of the SBR using a kinetic model of the biological process and values of the kinetic parameters was developed. This new procedure allows the direct calculation of the steady state profiles of biomass and substrate in the SBR without calculating the dynamics of the system from start up to steady state. The numerical accuracy of the procedure was discussed and the model was applied to show the effect of the operating parameters (SRT, HRT, length of the phases and number of cycles) on the steady state performance in terms of biomass and substrate concentrations. It was also shown how the model can be used for various applications like: optimisation of operating parameters for a minimum reactor volume; simulation of the competition between filamentous and floc-forming bacteria for bulking control; and calculation of the minimum volumetric mass-transfer coefficient required to maintain a desired oxygen concentration. In the end, the periodic steady state of the SBR was simulated for the industrial and model wastewaters at various values of the operating conditions (e.g. HRT, SRT, number of cycles) using the developed SBR model with values of kinetic parameters obtained from the various batch tests. The predicted model performance in terms of effluent quality and biomass concentration was compared with experimental results achieved during the treatment of the wastewaters. The simulation gave very good prediction of the extent of substrate removal for all the wastewaters. However, the prediction was not very accurate for biomass concentration. The study indicated that a good model prediction in terms of biomass production is strongly dependent on the values of the kinetic parameters especially b and YX/S.

This study was undertaken to examine the feasibilty of a low-cost aerobic system to treat greywater for reuse.Its purpose was to provide a system that would be easy to maintain, flexible and be affordable for households and small communities in developing countries. This thesis outlines and evaluates the key biological and chemical hazards associated with greywater reuse. It discusses the performance of a variety of wastewater treatment options in use. It presents details of the components of the greywater system,namely, an aerobic grease trap and slow sand filter. Reference is made to the evaporation and treatment bed and ultraviolet disinfection components, but these are not examined. The incorporation of vermitechnology in the preliminary stages of the system for reduction of organics in greywater is reviewed. This study takes the traditional approach to water quality assessment with the measurement of physical, chemical and biological indicators. Assessment of the system involved examining the input characteristics of the greywater, monitoring the vermiculture system and sampling the liquid discharge from the aerobic grease trap and slow sand filter for analysis of the quality indicators. The results obtained under the framework of this study have provided recommendations for further use of the aerobic grease trap and slow sand filter, while propsing an approach for an appropriate long-term monitoring program.

The design or improvement of a biological wastewater treatment system requires the characterization of influent wastewaters, the characterization of the microbial community in the system, and a knowledge of the rates of biological reactions. The wastewater treatment system of the city of Ste-Julie (Quebec) consists of four facultative aerated lagoons operating in series. Batch reactor experiments were performed with the municipal wastewater of Ste-Julie to simulate the biological processes occurring in the lagoon system. The first, second, and third lagoons were characterized in terms of soluble BOD, soluble COD, total solids, total suspended solids, volatile suspended solids, and TOC. The influent wastewater is classified as weak wastewater containing a relatively low concentration of soluble BOD compared to total BOD. The microbial communities in the first three lagoons were characterized using the BIOLOG redox technology which allows the simultaneous testing of the populations for the utilization of 95 carbon substrates. Finally, the specific initial BOD or TOC removal rates were determined for the first three lagoons. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Biological Aerated Filters (BAFs) are wastewater treatment systems which contain support media for biofilm development and provide oxygen at the base of the reactor to sustain aerobic microbial treatment processes. The aims of this study were to characterise and quantify the treatment capability of non-backwash BAFs used in small sewage treatment works, and therefore establish design recommendations. Three full scale trial BAFs, a field operational small sewage treatment plant, and a full scale aeration testing facility were studied. The trial BAFs, with simulated secondary settlement, provided carbonaceous stabilisation under various hydraulic loadings and airflow rates. Nitrification showed no relationship with airflow rate, but was inhibited at high hydraulic loadings. Sludge production in the BAFs was less at higher airflow rates, due to improved stabilisation of organic solids. Media specific surface area had little effect on treatment performance. Downflow operation generally provided better treatment than upflow operation, with high levels of suspended solids stabilisation, considered a function of longer residence times. The mean BAF residence times determined empirically were considerably shorter than the design residence times, and may have inhibited treatment potential. The oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE) of coarse bubble diffusers was enhanced in a simulated BAF, due to the effects of the support media. Fine bubble diffuser OTE was inhibited by the media. Coarse diffusers may be more appropriate than fine diffusers for small non-backwash BAFs, a function of performance and cost efficiency. A small packaged sewage treatment plant incorporating BAFs produced a well nitrified effluent with reasonable organic stabilisation, and showed little diurnal or seasonal variation in effluent quality. The plant compared well to other small sewage treatment systems, providing treatment in a small footprint. Design recommendations for non-backwash BAFs and small sewage treatment plants incorporating BAFs have been established, based on the knowledge gained during this study. It has been demonstrated that non-backwash BAFs are appropriate for use in small sewage treatment works.

The research presented in this report is in two sections. Section I involved the performance of a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) versus a biological aerated filtration (BAF) and Section II involved study on causes of deposition in anaerobic digester gas piping.

The first section evaluated and compared the performance of a laboratory-scale MBBR and BAF for organic carbon and suspended solids removal. A kinetic study was also performed on the MBBR to evaluate the system performance. The purpose was to recommend one of the systems for the Force Provider project, which provides a containerized "city" for the U.S. Army. The effluent criteria against which the systems were evaluated were total 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (TBOD5) and total suspended solids (TSS) of 30 mg/L each. The report is based on a 5-month laboratory -scale study of the two reactors.

The MBBR performance depended on the percent of media provided in the reactor and the organic loading. At a media volume, which displaced the reactor volume by 40 % (heretofore called 40 % media volume), and surface area loading rate (SALR) of 20 g BOD5/m2-d, the system performance deteriorated with time. At 40 % media volume and SALR below 15 g BOD5/m2-d, the system performance improved but still did not meet effluent criteria or average. TBOD5 reduction was generally poor (approximately 50 %). Soluble BOD5 (SBOD5) concentrations were frequently below 30 mg/L and TSS concentrations were often higher than influent TSS. Overall, TSS wastage from the system (both effluent TSS and intentional wastage) averaged 0.032 kg/d.

BAF system performance was excellent for TBOD5, CBOD5, SBOD5 and TSS removal, and were consistently less that 30 mg/L. Overall TSS wastage from the BAF (both via effluent and backwash) average 0.027 kg/d and was 16 % less than for the MBBR. Based on demonstrated performance, the BAF was the only viable reactor for the project.

Section II of the report focused on possible causes of deposition in an anaerobic digester gas piping at a local wastewater treatment facility (Peppers ferry regional wastewater treatment facility).

Industrial waste input to the treatment facility has increased lately and accounts for 40 % of the plant's wastewater inflow. An industry in Pulaski, VA, Magnox Inc. generates and disposes highly concentrated sodium sulfate, (70,000 mg/L) which is a by-product of its activities, to PFRWTF wastewater influent stream. As a result of Magnox industrial waste input, a pilot study was carried out to determine the effect of its waste on the activated sludge treatment units. Results indicated that Magnox industrial waste input would not have adverse effect on the aeration basins. However production of H2S, which can have effect on the anaerobic digester was reported (Olver Inc., 1995). Field analysis of data reported by Olver Inc. (2000) showed that H2S concentration in PFRWTF anaerobic digester gas was rising. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of deposits found in the digester pipe together with results obtained from the laboratory-scale study revealed that iron and sulfur played a role in the deposition in the digester gas pipe. The laboratory scale study revealed that ferrous ion in the digester feed possibly precipitated over 90 % of the hydrogen sulfide gas produced in the digester, thus protecting the digester from adverse effects caused by hydrogen sulfide.

Small on-site sanitation systems for wastewater collection and treatment are prevalent in suburban and rural areas in many countries. However, these systems often underperform, causing potential impact to the receiving waters and increasing the risks to public health, thus hindering the overall sustainability of the systems. Understanding the different sustainability dimensions and trade-offs between assessment indicators can support the planning of sustainable on-site sanitation systems for a specific context. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the sustainability and function of on-site sanitation systems by defining a set of indicators to assess on-site sanitation options and estimating them for different scenarios, and by investigating the treatment efficiency of on-site facilities for domestic wastewater treatment in a field study. Particular attention was given to the removal of phosphorus (P) and indicator bacteria due to their relevance in terms of eutrophication risk and public-health concern. In a multi-criteria approach, twelve indicators were defined to assess nine on-site sanitation systems. A reference group representing stakeholders’ views assigned weights to express the relative importance of each indicator. The reference group assigned the highest weights to the indicators robustness, risk of pathogen discharge and nutrient removal. Assessing the robustness proved to be challenging, as there is a gap between how the sanitation systems are expected to perform based on their design, and how they actually perform in practice, mainly due to incorrect construction, operation and maintenance. The discriminating power of the indicators was calculated using the entropy method, which showed that the indicators energy recovery and capital cost had little impact in the final ranking of the alternatives. A sustainability ranking was obtained by using the method ELECTRE III. A scenario analysis based on different settings of interest based on socio-economic and geographical factors was done to evaluate the changes in the ranking of alternatives. Overall, the greywater–blackwater separation system ranked the highest in the baseline scenario and when nutrient-related indicators were important (Scenario 2), together with the urine diversion system. The sand filter and drain field were the most sustainable options when nutrient removal and recycling was not important (Scenario 1), and (in combination with chemical P-removal) when the indicators related to energy and climate change had the highest weights (Scenario 3). In terms of P-removal, chemical removal outranked the alkaline P-filter. In a field study, the effluent wastewater from twelve on-site wastewater treatment facilities with sand and alkaline P-filters was evaluated in terms of removal and discharge of organic content, total and dissolved phosphorus, and indicator bacteria (E. coli, total coliforms, intestinal enterococci and C.perfringens). The results showed that the investigated sand filters generally had low P-removal capacity and sometimes exceeded the criteria for excellent water quality set by the EU bathing water directive with regard to intestinal enterococci and E. coli. Only one sand filter of eight was confirmed to remove P according to the Swedish guidelines for areas with non-sensitive receiving waters with a tot-P effluent concentration below 3 mg L−1. This indicates that a downstream treatment step is needed to meet the guidelines regarding P discharge concentrations. Alkaline P-filters generally removed P efficiently. Despite high effluent pH, the collected data did not generally confirm a further reduction of the bacterial content of the wastewater in the P-filters, as had been previously hypothesized. However, effluent concentrations of indicator bacteria showed moderate positive correlations with effluent concentrations of P and organic matter, indicating the potential of the P-filters to serve as a polishing step also for bacteria.
Små lokala avloppssystem för insamling och rening av avloppsvatten är vanligt förekommande i omvandlings- och landsbygdsområden i många länder. Dessa system fungerar ofta sämre än förväntat vilket kan leda till effekter på recipienter, ökad risk för folkhälsan och begränsa systemens hållbarhet. En djupare förståelse för hållbarhetsdimensioner och avvägningar mellan olika indikatorer kan stödja planering och implementering av hållbara lokala avloppsystem för specifika sammanhang. Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats var att utvärdera hållbarhet och funktion av enskilda avloppssystem. Detta utfördes genom att först definiera en uppsättning indikatorer för bedömning av ett antal enskilda avloppsalternativ och sedan utvärdera dem för olika scenarier. Vidare var syftet att undersöka några systems prestanda för rening av hushållsavloppsvatten i en fältstudie. Särskilt fokus lades på reduktion av fosfor (P) och indikatorbakterier på grund av deras relevans i relation till övergödningsrisk och folkhälsoperspektiv. I en multikriteriestudie definierades tolv indikatorer för att bedöma nio typer av enskilda avloppssystem. En referensgrupp som representerade olika intressenter viktade indikatorerna för att uttrycka den relativa betydelsen av varje indikator. Referensgruppen gav systemens robusthet, risk för utsläpp av patogener, och näringsreduktion störst vikt. Att bedöma robusthet var en utmaning i studien, eftersom det finns ett gap mellan hur systemen förväntas fungera, och hur de faktiskt fungerar i praktiken, mestadels på grund av felaktig konstruktion, drift och underhåll. Indikatorernas diskriminerande effekt räknades ut med entropimetoden, som visade att indikatorerna energiåtervinning och kapitalkostnad hade liten inverkan på alternativens slutgiltiga rangordning. En scenarioanalys genomfördes baserad på socioekonomiska och geografiska faktorer. En hållbarhetsrankning erhölls genom att använda ELECTRE III-metoden. Överlag rankades system som separerar gråvatten – svartvatten samt urinseparerande system högst i basfallsscenariot och när näringsrelaterade indikatorer var viktiga (scenario 2). Markbäddar och infiltrationsanläggningar var de mest hållbara alternativen när rening och återvinning av näringsämnen inte var viktigt (scenario 1) och (i kombination med kemisk P-rening) när indikatorer relaterade till energi och klimatförändringar viktades högst (scenario 3). När det gäller P-rening, gav system med kemisk rening ett bättre utfall än de med alkaliska P-filter. I en fältstudie utvärderades tolv enskilda avloppsanläggningar med markbaserade system och alkaliska P-filter med avseende på rening och utsläpp av organiskt innehåll, totalt och löst P och indikatorbakterier (E.coli, totala koliformer, intestinala enterokocker och C.perfringens). Resultaten visade att de markbaserade systemen generellt hade låg P-reningskapacitet och ofta överskreds kriterierna för utmärkt vattenkvalitet enligt EUs badvattendirektiv avseende intestinala enterokocker och C. perfringens. Endast ett markbaserat system av åtta uppvisade en P-rening som låg under de svenska riktlinjerna för områden med normal skyddsnivå, med en utsläppskoncentration på under 3 mg L-1 tot-P. Detta indikerade att markbäddar behöver nedströms placerade reningssteg för att uppfylla nuvarande riktlinjer för utsläpp av P. Alkaliska P-filter avskilde generellt P effektivt. Trots högt pH-värde kunde ingen ytterligare minskning av bakterieinnehåll i avloppsvattnet från P-filtren påvisas statistiskt. Utsläppen av indikatorbakterier uppvisade emellertid måttliga positiva korrelationer med utsläpp av P och organiskt material, vilket visar på en viss potential att P-filtren kan fungera som ett ytterligare poleringssteg även för bakterier.

Models based on analytical trophodynamics (AT) method have provided an analytical framework for modeling in ecology, including the dynamical flux of nutrients present in the soil for a fixed region. Dynamics occurring concurrently in different time scales are modeled. Through a mathematical treatment of the elements of both biotic and abiotic factors, is established Â stability and conservation laws for growing trajectories, whose solutions of the second-order differential systems equations known as Volterra–Hamilton systems. All solutions trajectories obtained to follow the biological principles of energy conservation. The tensors of AT were computed with the computational algebraic package FINSLER. Moreover, in this chapter, we present an overview of the last results and actual status of research in this area.

The field of couple therapy is a wide and varied one, and there are almost as many different approaches to treatment as in individual psychotherapy. The relatively brief therapeutic method presented here, behavioural systems couple therapy, is an eclectic one, taking techniques from two approaches of proven efficacy and combining them into a flexible and versatile therapy capable of being used in a wide variety of presenting problems. These include simple relationship problems, psychosexual problems, and such psychiatric conditions as anxiety, depression, and morbid jealousy. It is relatively easy to teach, and although it has not yet been subjected to controlled trials it can be assumed to be no less effective than its component therapies which are both effective. It has recently also been recommended in a package for self-help with homework exercises and theoretical explanations to be used without the intervention of a therapist. There are few contraindications for the therapy, and it can be used both as a therapy in its own right or as an adjunctive therapy in, for example, the treatment of depression, psychosis or sexual dysfunctions. It can thus be a useful addition to the various methods available for the reduction of distress, whether in couples or individuals.

The mission of the Transmutation Research Program (TRP) at University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) is to establish a nuclear engineering test bed that can carry out effective transmutation and advanced reactor research and development effort. TRPSEMPro package, developed from previous project period, integrated a chemical separation code from the Argonne National Laboratories (ANL). Current research focus has two folds: development of simulation system processes applied to Spent Fuel Treatment Facility (SFTF) using ASPEN-plus and further interaction of ASPEN+ program from TRPSEMPro interface. More details will be discussed below. ANL has identified three processes simulations using their separation technologies. The first process is to separate aqueous acid streams of acetic acid, nitric acid, water and a variety of fission product nitric salts. Distillation separation method is used to remove the desired components from the streams. The second simulation is to convert plutonium nitrate to plutonium metal. Steps used for the process simulation are precipitation, calcinations, fluorination and reduction. The third process currently under development is vitrification of fission product of raffinate streams. During the process, various waste streams from the plant are mixed and fed to a process that converts them to a solid state glass phase. The vitrification process used by the Hanford and Savannah River facilities was selected as a guideline to develop the prototype simulation process using ASPEN-Plus. Current research is focusing on identifying unit operations required to perform the vitrification of the waste streams. The first two processes are near completion stage. Microsoft Visual Basic (MS VB) has been used to develop the entire system engineering model package, TRPSEMPro. Currently a user friendly interface is under development to facilitate direct execution of ASPEN-plus within TRPSEMPro. The major purpose for the implementation is to create iterative interaction among system engineering modeling, ANL separation model and ASPEN-Plus process that outputs optimized separation/process simulation results. The ASPEN-plus access interface from TRPSEMPro allows users to modify and execute process parameters derived from the ASPEN Plus simulations without navigating through ASPEN-Plus. All ASPEN-plus simulation results can be also accessible by the interface. Such integration provide a single interaction gateway for researchers interested in SFTF process simulation without struggling with complicate data manipulation and joggling among various software packages.

The mission of the Transmutation Research Program (TRP) at University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) is to establish a nuclear engineering test bed that can carry out effective transmutation and advanced reactor research and development effort. UNLV has developed a multi-function software package, TRPSEMPro, to interact with the chemical separation process developed by the Argonne National Laboratories (ANL). As indicated in the Spent Fuel Treatment Facility (SFTF) process requirement, developing a software package system with the capability of optimizing facility process based on the pre-defined objective functions can be valuable for the SFTF. The objective is to further extent the TRPSEMPro framework to integrate chemical separation calculation package AMUSE (Argonne Model for Universal Solvent Extraction) with commercially available system process package (ASPEN-plus). A development concept of middleware is employed to build communication between the AMUSE code and the ASPEN-plus. Since the object-oriented designed ASPEN-plus software package exposes its parameters as well-defined objects, the TRPSEMPro can directly access its variable trees through the object call. Due to the complicity of the system, a scenario-based database system will be developed associated with the chemical separation and system processes. A light-weight MS ACCESS database is selected for easy maintenance and accessibility. The database manages the scenario parameter files with associated separation results and outputs from the system process packages. A comprehensive SFTF process simulation will greatly facilitate the evaluation of overall systems options. Such simulation is gradually becoming important for down-selecting reactor types, fuel types, and multi-recycle modes. Optimization tool associated with the TRPSEMPro system engineering model intends to speedup the possible chemical separation parameters.

Unirradiated sodium bonded metal fuel and casting scrap material containing highly enriched uranium (HEU) is stored at the Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) on the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). This material, which includes intact fuel assemblies and elements from the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) and Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) reactors, as well as scrap material from the casting of these fuels, has no current use under the terminated reactor programs for both facilities. The Department of Energy (DOE), under the Sodium-Bonded Spent Nuclear Fuel Treatment Record of Decision (ROD), has determined that this material could be prepared and transferred to an off-site facility for processing and eventual fabrication of fuel for commercial nuclear reactors. A plan is being developed to prepare, package, and transfer this material to the DOE HEU Disposition Program Office (HDPO), located at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Disposition of the sodium bonded material will require separating the elemental sodium from the metallic uranium fuel. A sodium distillation process known as MEDE (Melt-Drain-Evaporate), will be used for the separation process. The casting scrap material needs to be sorted to remove any foreign material or fines that are not acceptable to the HDPO program. Once all elements have been cut and loaded into baskets, they are then loaded into an evaporation chamber as the first step in the MEDE process. The chamber will be sealed and the pressure reduced to approximately 200 mtorr. The chamber will then be heated as high as 650 °C, causing the sodium to melt and then vaporize. The vapor phase sodium will be driven into an outlet line where it is condensed and drained into a receiver vessel. Once the evaporation operation is complete, the system is de-energized and returned to atmospheric pressure. This paper describes the MEDE process as well as a general overview of the furnace systems, as necessary, to complete the MEDE process.

In many industrial applications, some measurement instruments must be placed in a pipe in which fluid flows. Two phase cross flows around a body have seldom been studied until now and considering these flows can play a significant role in long-term reliability and safety of industrial systems. In this paper drag coefficient, pressure coefficient and void fraction around triangular bodies with different leading edge angles were considered. Also effect of Reynolds number and inlet void fraction on drag coefficient and pressure coefficient has been investigated and flow treatment behind the triangular obstacle has been examined. To achieve this aim, main equations of flow have been developed for investigation of drag coefficient in air-water two phase. Our numerical analyses were performed by a designed and written CFD package which is based on Eulerian-Eulerian approach. Geometries, which have been studied in this article, are triangle, with different leading edge angle. Other parameters such as two phase Reynolds number, free stream void fraction and bubble size were considered, too. Drag coefficient is closely relates to the turbulence and the bubble motion. Since these mechanisms vary over time, we used final value of drag coefficient after convergence. The results showed that drag coefficient is strongly depended of Reynolds number. In this simulation it can be seen that both the drag coefficient and pressure drag coefficient decrease whit increase in two phase Reynolds number and increase with decrease in inlet void fraction.

Processing of optical images of bone has been a topic of considerable interest in the past and continues to be so. Image processing can be used in medicine in order to improve the image visualization to detect diseases, and to compute properties such as area for abnormal cells. Several studies of bone images have been conducted using several methods including segmentation and image enhancement. The aim of this paper is to generate a standalone automated code for segmenting colored optical microscope images in order to show the microstructure of a cortical bone as a multi-phase (here 4 phases) composite: Lamella (matrix), Haversian canals, osteoblast lamella boundaries (freshly generated lamella lining), and lacunae (containing living cells). For this purpose, we investigate the use of MATLAB, which contains image-processing toolboxes with many analytical capabilities that have been advertised to be useful for many applications including biological systems. In this work, such capabilities are utilized in image processing of the microstructure of bovine cortical bone, which is generally accepted as proxy for human bone. Two specimens of the cortical regions of a bovine femur bones were imaged using Olympus optical microscope. One of the specimens was treated with the Masson’s trichrome staining treatment and the other with the Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) treatment. The images from the microscope were captured using a DP12 camera. Furthermore, MATLAB results are contrasted against Stream®, a commercially available software package procured along with the Olympus optical microscope. Via color-coding to facilitate the bone microstructure identification, the image analysis results were compared after computing the areas of each of the 4 constituent microstructural phases. Areas of each phase were calculated and comparisons made between the results obtained from the Stream® software and those obtained from MATLAB. The relative error was found to be quite small (<1%), which proves that MATLAB may be an effective software for medical image processing and may be the tool of choice for standalone applications.

Foods preserved by high pressure processes (HPP) are sold in Japan, the United States, and Europe. HPP technology is used to pasteurize low acid solid and liquid foods such as oysters, hams, and guacamole and to extend refrigerated shelf-life. HPP technology can commercially sterilize liquid and solid acid products such as fruit juices, salsa, and cut tomatoes. Product sales have reached millions of pounds per year. New processes have been developed to sterilize low acid foods using a combination of heat and pressure. Foods at temperatures of 90 to 1000C can be compressed to 600 to 700 MPa for one or more cycles and thus heated uniformly by compression heating in the range of 111 to 121 0C. Decompression brings the product back to its starting temperature for final cooling. This application provides a high-temperature-short-time sterilization process for low acid foods and thus preserves fresh product quality. Commercial HPP foods require rapid cycling of equipment and maximum use of the pressure vessel volume. These requirements have been met in commercial, semi-continuous, liquid food treatment systems. A single 25 liter pressure vessel can cycle 15 times per hour with a three minute product hold at a pressure of 580 MPa. This vessel operating 5000 hours per year can treat over four million pounds of liquid food. Batch equipment designed to cycle over 12 times per hour with a three minute product hold at 680 MPa is under construction. All units manufactured for the HPP treatment of foods use stainless steel contacting parts, potable water as the compression fluid, and are designed to have a safe cycle life of over 100,000 cycles at 580 MPa. Equipment used for the HPP treatment of food must have an up-time in excess of 90% and must be capable of repair and maintenance by food process line technicians. Ease of access and ease of seal and wear part replacement is required. Equipment must meet cleaning and sanitation requirements of the FDA and the USDA if used to treat meat containing products. Pressure chamber volume use in batch systems must be optimized. Even one additional package per cycle at 12 cycles per hour and 5000 hours per year can yield 60,000 additional packages. High cycle rates require automatic package handling systems for loading packages into carriers and for loading and unloading carriers at the pressure vessel. The operation of high pressure food processing equipment must integrate with a specified food packaging and package handling system as it is desirable to have the high pressure processing system as an integral part of the total food processing and packaging system.

Annotation:

Organic-resin wastes (spent resins) are generated by different purification systems employed in all types of nuclear power reactors during routine and non-routine operations. The quantities of such resin wastes, and their inventories of contaminants vary depend on the operational goals of the individual power plant. Depending on the regulatory target in the particular jurisdiction where the reactor is located, the type and amounts of radionuclides, metals and other chemical contaminants in the resin waste determine the extent of treatment required for interim storage or final disposal of the waste. Resin-waste treatment comprises different operations such as pretreatment, conditioning/stabilization and containerization that produce a waste package suitable for handling, transport, storage and disposal. One aspect of the contaminants that has significant impact on waste conditioning and the overall cost of managing such wastes are the concentrations of short half-life (arbitrarily less than approximately 30 years) radionuclides, and long half-life radionuclides, in particular carbon-14, and toxic metals present in the waste. A spectrum of resin-waste conditioning methods is available. Some methods have been applied to specific situations while others are being developed for future applications to meet the need for reducing worker dose, environmental releases, and waste-storage and disposal costs. This paper describes waste treatment options for low-level radioactive resin wastes and potential options of resin wastes containing appreciable amounts of carbon-14. Indications are that drying of the resin waste containing long half-life radionuclides such as carbon-14 and compaction or pelletizing can be favourable to allow interim dry-storage of the waste and to provide sufficient flexibility in the preparation of a suitable waste form to meet applicable waste acceptance criteria for the eventual disposal of such wastes.

A novel wafer level packaging method suitable for low production volumes, R&D, and multi-project wafers is presented, providing a hermetic seal suitable for vacuum encapsulation with wafers bonded at a low temperature. Hermetic through-wafer interconnects are bump bonded to a CMOS chip encapsulated by bonding a cap wafer after activating surfaces with free radicals, the Silicon-Silicon direct bond is then annealed to a high strength at 200°C to avoid chip damage. The application for which this system is proposed is an implantable multi-contact active nerve electrode for the treatment of epilepsy via vagus nerve stimulation. Although intended for human implantation of integrated systems, this technology may be applied across a range of devices requiring hermetic or vacuum sealing and through-wafer interconnection. Solid electroplated through-wafer interconnects (aspect ratio 5) enable hermetic interconnection of direct bonded packages with low connection impedance, offering benefits across a range of packaging applications. A key feature of this packaging method is it’s versatility, the proposed embodiment features chip to wafer bonding with an ASIC, but the package is equally suitable for MEMS devices and also for wafer to wafer bonding.

The main objective and mission of the ATLAS+ project is to develop advanced structural assessment tools to address the remaining technology gaps for the safe and long term operation of nuclear reactor pressure coolant boundary systems. This is achieved by development and validation of: • innovative quantitative methodologies to transfer laboratory material properties to assess the structural integrity of large components, • enhanced treatment of weld residual stresses when subjected to long term operation, • advanced simulation tools based on fracture mechanics methods using physically based mechanistic models, • improved engineering methods to assess components under long term operation taking into account specific operational demands, • integrated probabilistic assessment methods to reveal uncertainties and justify safety margins. Additionally, the objective is to disseminate the findings of the work through special training sessions and links to the NUGENIA association. The project scope of work focuses on piping systems of the reactor coolant pressure boundary components (RCPB) excluding the reactor pressure vessel (RPV). The project is aimed on an experimental proof of concept and validates the developed methodology both at the laboratory scale and the full scale level. The ATLAS+ project contains 4 main technical work packages and one training and dissemination package. These are summarised here.
