Current weather indifferent fields of science and engineering research purposes and different applications are studied. One of the applications of climate studies, the study of the flow over the weir dam and lower exhaust tunnel is aimed at preventing the risk of cavitations. Aeration is known as one of the most economical and practical way to deal with cavitations on rapid spill ways. In the s...

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and its emission from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) should be prevented. One way to do this is to promote the biological conversion of dissolved methane over stripping in aeration tanks. In this study, the well-established Activated Sludge Model n°1 (ASM1) and Benchmark Simulation Model n°1 (BSM1) were extended to study the influence of process...

Problem statement: E-coating process is widely used to provide a protective coating layer on metal parts in the automotive and metal finishing industry. The wastewater from the coating process contains organic compounds that are used in the cleaning, pretreatment and coating steps. Organic pollutants can be removed biologically. In the aerobic biological treatment, water aeration accounts for a...

In situ aeration by means of the Airflow technology was proposed for landfill conditioning before landfill mining in the framework of a reclamation project in Northern Italy. A 1-year aeration project was carried out on part of the landfill with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of the Airflow technology for landfill aerobization, the evolution of waste biological stability during a...

Changes in the fractions of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in two laboratory-scale reactors were investigated using 16S rRNA probe hybridizations. The reactors were operated in intermittent aeration mode and different aeration cycles to treat anaerobically digested swine wastewater with ammonia concentrations up to 175 mg NH(3)-N/L. High ammonia removals (>98.8%) were...

labyrinth spillway is an appropriate option to pass pmf discharge. the most advantages of this type of spillway are higher discharge capacity, easy aeration as well as low fluctuations of flow surface. it is essential to find the optimum geometry considering the maximum passing discharge under specific hydraulic conditions with minimum construction cost. in this study, fuzzy inference system (f...

Because surface-applied manures can contribute to phosphorus (P) in runoff, we examined mechanical aeration of grasslands for reducing P transport by increasing infiltration of rainfall and binding of P with soil minerals. The effects of three aeration treatments and a control (aeration with cores, continuous-furrow "no-till" disk aeration perpendicular to the slope, slit aeration with tines, a...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology provides a low cost alternative to conventional aerated wastewater treatment, however, there has been little comparison between MFC and aeration treatment using real wastewater as the substrate. This study attempts to directly compare the wastewater treatment efficiency and energy consumption and generation among three reactor systems-a traditional aeration ...

A bench-scale study on swine manure stabilization for odour control was conducted using batch aeration reactors. In trial 1, two aeration lengths, i.e., 0.5 and 4.0 day, were used under uncontrolled ambient temperature that increased gradually over the experimental period. While in trial 2, a 16.0-day aeration scheme was employed under constant 17 degrees C. An airflow rate of 1.2L/s/m(3) was u...
