JI, YUNING (author)With the development of industry, there is an increasing focus on environmental issues, while organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) have garnered significant attention as emerging contaminants in water. Due to the low concentration and small size, OMPs pose a challenge to retain in traditional low-pressure membrane filtration systems. Prior researches...master thesis 2023

Piaggio, A.L. (author), Sasidhar, K.B. (author), Khande, Pravin (author), Balakrishnan, Malini (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author), Lindeboom, R.E.F. (author)This study reports the effects of microaeration on a laboratory-scale AnMBR (MA-AnMBR) fed with synthetic concentrated domestic sewage. The imposed oxygen load mimics the oxygen load coming from a dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit, establishing an anaerobic digester-DAF (AD-DAF) combination with sludge recycling. Results showed a reduced COD...journal article 2023

Peschard Navarrete, Rogelio (author)Fouling is the main limitation to the application of membrane bioreactors (MBRs). Understanding the complexity of fouling has led to better decision making for design and operation of MBRs. However, studies have shown contradictory results of the impact of sludge characteristics on membrane filtration performance and fouling propensity. The...master thesis 2020

Huang, Hongjie (author)Water is one of the long-standing problems in Sint Maarten. Water supply is scarce while water demand is high. Water pollution and incomplete infrastructure also needs to be tackled. How can a cluster scale decentralized water management system solve water challenges in the hurricane-prone environment of Sint Maarten is the research question....master thesis 2020

van den Berg, L. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author)Biofilm and granular sludge processes depend on diffusion of substrates. Despite their importance for the kinetic description of biofilm reactors, biofilm diffusion coefficients reported in literature vary greatly. The aim of this simulation study was to determine to what extent the methods that are used to measure diffusion coefficients...journal article 2020

Blankestijn, Rick (author)“Upwards along the pipes” focuses on the Tamansari subdistrict in Bandung, Indonesia, in which the Cikapundung river is a central physical element, dividing the highly dense informal settlements in two. The project tries to tackle several ecological and spatial issues occuring within the site, including a large amount of (organic) waste being...master thesis 2019

Visser, Thibaut (author)Besides wastewater and rainwater, the sewers in the Netherlands also transport a lot of water that is not supposed to be in the sewer. This water is called extraneous water and is the result of unwanted discharges in the sewer system. This could be groundwater infiltrating leaky sewer pipes, or pumped from construction sites directly into the...master thesis 2019

Hoekstra, M. (author), Geilvoet, Stefan P. (author), Hendrickx, Tim L.G. (author), van Erp Taalman Kip, Charlotte S. (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)The aim of this research was to study the biological feasibility of the Partial Nitritation/Anammox (PN/A) technology to remove nitrogen from municipal mainstream wastewaters. During stable process operations at summer temperatures (23.2 ± 1.3°C), the total nitrogen removal rate was 0.223 ± 0.029 kg N (m<sup>3 </sup>d)<sup>−1</sup> while at...journal article 2018

Mannina, Giorgio (author), Chandran, Kartik (author), Capodici, Marco (author), Cosenza, Alida (author), Di Trapani, Daniele (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)This study aimed at evaluating the nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for wastewater treatment. The study investigated the N2O emissions considering multiple influential factors over a two-year period: (i) different MBR based process configurations; (ii) wastewater composition (municipal or industrial); (iii)...journal article 2018

Zahmatkesh, M. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)In this study, we tested a new approach to facilitate the application of white rot fungi (WRF) under non-sterile conditions, by introducing grain sorghum as carrier and sole carbon and nutrient source for WRF. To this end, Trametes versicolor was immobilized on sorghum, and its ability to remove humic acid (HA) from synthetic and real...journal article 2017

Erşahin, M.E. (author)Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) physically ensure biomass retention by the application of a membrane filtration process. With growing application experiences from aerobic membrane bioreactors (MBRs), the combination of membrane and anaerobic processes has received much attention and become more attractive and feasible, due to advantages...doctoral thesis 2015

Puay, N.Q. (author)The wastewater infrastructure in Singapore is undergoing a major revamp, which includes the construction of a new water reclamation plant (WRP) in Tuas. This plant aims to maximise the energy recovered from wastewater, with the ultimate aim of achieving energy self-sufficiency. The Integrated Validation Plant (IVP) is a 1000 m3/day pilot plant...master thesis 2015

Van den Brand, T.P.H. (author)The depletion of fresh water sources forces to design innovative integral solutions for the urban water cycle. Usual practice in most cities is to use drinking water to transport waste outside the city via sewer system. For toilet flushing the water quality is less important and seawater could be used as alternative to use of drinking water. Due...doctoral thesis 2014
