The performance of an aerobic membrane-coupled bioreactor (MBR) operating at mesophilicthermophilic transitional temperatures (40 ̊C) treating oily rendering wastewater has been evaluated in terms of COD, BOD5, oil and grease, solids and ammonia removal at 5 and 10-day HRT. The COD removal efficiency increased from 78% to 96%, BOD5 removal from 87 to 99% and oil and grease removal from 92 to 95%...

recoveries of 49 mg (23%), 56 mg (25%), 18 mg (10%), and 6 mg (50%), respectively. Thus, the official method of filtration resulted in an average loss of oil and grease of 25% of the values determined by the proposed method. Two effluents (3 and 4) were precipitated by the method in this paper but extracted by the Soxhlet method and gave 16 and 5% low values, respectively. In addition, contamin...

MOST STUDIES OF the economic impact of immigration are motivated by the desire to understand how immigrants affect various dimensions of economic status in the population of the host country. This motivation explains the persistent interest in determining whether immigrants “take jobs away” from native workers, as well as the attention paid to measuring the fiscal impact that immigration inevit...

— This paper presents an agent-based infrastructure for grid computing called GrEASe (Grid Environment based on Agent Services). Grids are typically complex, heterogeneous, and highly dynamic environments, and agent technology can satisfy the basic requirements of this kind of contexts. GrEASe is organized as a two layer structure: the lower one providing the resource independent functionalitie...

the present study investigated oil/water demulsification and treatment of oily wastewater originated from port waste reception facilities by electro coagulation using aluminum electrodes in a batch reactor. the efficiency of al electrodes in removing ss, cod, and oil & grease from wastewater with different current densities and operational times were investigated. the characteristics of th...

The purpose of this research study is to provide evidence for the further study and possible inclusion of lubricant data and analysis to common condition based maintenance (CBM) practices as a means of increasing the effectiveness of the AH-64D fleet. Presented in the paper are four different AH-64D aircraft wetted-component case studies, which aim to improve performance through the examining t...
