-In this paper, a low-order linear timeinvariant (LTI) state-space model that describes the nitrate concentrations in both anoxic and aerobic zones of an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), for biological treatment of municipal sewage, is identified around a given operating point (a model with lumped parameters). Several subspace identification methods, such as CCA, N4SID, MOESP...

The paper presents the procedure of examination and characterization sludge from wastewatertreatment. This includes: sampling, identification with categorization waste, dependingon degree danger, subject waste as hazardous determination theconcentration substances, physico-chemical toxicological characteristics andeffects on human health, impact environment others procedures in accordance witht...

Phytoplankton blooms containing elevated levels of cyanobacteria are common in wastewatertreatment plants. Microcystis aeruginosa, the most common freshwater cyanobacterial species, produces the hepatotoxin microcystin, which is a threat to human and environmental health. Blooms also affect the viability of treating and reusing water and cause problems when detritus accumulates in pipe and pump...

The fate of a comprehensive group of nonylphenol and octylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) and several of their carboxylated derivatives was studied in three American wastewatertreatment plants (WWTPs), two of which included advanced treatment. Influent and effluent concentrations of the alkylphenolic compounds (APEs) in the three plants were very similar, but effluent concentrations showed a seasona...

an efficiency-centred hierarchical model is developed to assess the performance ofwastewater treatment plants (wwtps). specifically, a new treatment performance index (tpi) hasbeen proposed to determine the overall treatment performance of wwtp by analysing the tpivalues and the weights of individual treatment phase for overall treatment performance. threemodules have been developed to examine ...

evaluation and modeling of the wastewater treatment plants (wwtp) have to be based on thefact that the pollutant concentrations and flow rates change constantly. in addition, different approaches mustused due to there are different processes in a wwtp. a mexican petrochemical complex has a wwtp thatprocesses wastewaters from several petrochemical plants, where the flow rates and pollutant conce...

As soon as researchers uncovered microorganisms’ abilities to communicate, efforts began to control the conversation. Among other cellular functions, quorum-sensing is implicated in biofilm formation, a problematic phenomena in a variety of settings such as persistence of infections (Costerton et al., 1999; Rutherford and Bassler, 2012) and biofouling of waterand wastewatertreatment membranes (...
