The influence of essential growth nutrients on PHA production from waste

Volatile fatty acids (VFA) may serve as building blocks for Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production and can be derived from waste streams. Ideal streams for PHA production contain a high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) to nutrient ratio, such as (waste)water from a paper-mill factory or candy-bar factory. The (waste)water generated by these...

Wind turbine control: Advances for load mitigations and hydraulic drivetrains

In the last decades, tremendous efforts have been put in advancements of wind turbine technology by scientific research and industrial developments. One of the focal areas has been the upscaling of turbines to increase power capacity. However, by enlarging turbine sizes, the square-cube law dictates rising costs per unit of power capacity. To...

Modelling of stress development and fault slip in and around a producing gas reservoir

Many gas fields are currently being produced in the northern Netherlands. Induced seismicity related to gas production has become a growing problem in the Netherlands in the past two decades. To date, a few hundred induced seismic events occurred. Induced seismicity is generally assumed to be the result of induced reactivation of discontinuities...
