Wastewater treatment plants affect the environment in many different ways. It can be assumed that the intensity and range of microbiological emission is the crucial factor in determining the range of restrictedusage zone. This paper presents emission levels of microbiological pollutants from the wastewater treatment plant in Bartoszyce, Poland. It is a new plant with multifunctional activated-s...

The paper addresses control related design issues for neutralization plants. Mainly for control reasons, the neutralization is usually performed in several steps (mixing tanks) with gradual change in the concentration. The aim is to give recommendations for issues like tank sizes and number of tanks. Assuming strong acids and bases, we derive linearized relationships from the disturbance variab...

-An apparatus providing continuous artificial illumination of constant intensity directed to the lower surface of flounders is pictured. Pigmentation was developed on the lower normally unpigmented surface in a high percentage of summer flounders in the following experimental situations: (1) Unoperated fishes in black tanks illuminated from below. (2) Blinded dark fishes in black tanks illumina...

The Department of Energy’s River Protection Project (RPP) is tasked with retrieving highly radioactive waste from Hanford double-shell and single-shell tanks to provide feed for vitrification for long-term storage. Approximately 330,000 metric tons of sodium-rich radioactive waste originating from separation of plutonium from irradiated uranium fuel is stored in 177 underground tanks at Hanford...

 In order to investigate the effects of artificial substrates (vertical surface of polypropylene fabrics) on cultured shrimp, we reared 28-day old Litopenaeus vannamei post-larvae (PL28) intensively for 90 days at a density of 510 shrimp/m2 in each of 8 tanks. Two tanks containing no artificial substrate were a control group, and 1, 3 and 5 artificial substrates were present in other 6 tanks. T...

In many Mediterranean countries, users store water resources in private tanks, which are typically located on rooftops. These local reservoirs are generally connected directly to the water distribution network (WDN). This installation scheme causes a disconnection of the WDN from the users, and thus, the users’ water supply is no longer linked to their consumption, which changes the network ope...
