Haaksman, V.A. (author), Schouteren, M. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Pronk, M. (author)There is a growing interest to implement aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in existing conventional activated sludge (CAS) systems with a continuous flow-through configuration. The mode of anaerobic contact of raw sewage with the sludge is an important aspect in the adaptation of CAS systems to accommodate AGS. It remains unclear how the...journal article 2023

Pronk, Kasper (author)The transition towards electric vehicles (EVs) is ongoing and to facilitate this a covering charging infrastructure is required. Part of this charging infrastructure should be placed within the public space which causes problems and requires the multiple involved stakeholders to collaborate in order to solve these challenges. How this physical...master thesis 2022

Pronk, Simon (author)Wind turbines are decommissioned when they reach their endoflife. The reason for reaching endoflife varies per wind turbine, but they all have in common that the wind turbine blades can not be recycled and thus end up as waste. Since a growing amount of wind turbines will reach their endoflife the coming decade, the waste problem will increase....master thesis 2022

(author)In the One Health context, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are central to safeguarding water resources. Nonetheless, many questions remain about their effectiveness in preventing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) dissemination. Most surveillance studies monitor the levels and removal of selected antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile...journal article 2022

Pronk, Arno (author), Brancart, S. (author), Sanders, Fred (author)In 2018, the construction sector was responsible for 39% of the worldwide energy and process-related carbon dioxide emissions (Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction et al., 2019). This is partly due to the embodied carbon, which represents the carbon emissions related to building construction and material production (LETI, 2020). While...journal article 2022

(author)Glycerol is abundantly present in wastewater from industries such as biodiesel production facilities. Glycerol is also a potential carbon source for microbes that are involved in wastewater nutrient removal processes. The conversion of glycerol in biological phosphorus removal of aerobic granular sludge processes has not been explored to date....journal article 2022

Roy, E.I. (author), Pronk, Maarten (author), Agugiaro, G. (author), Ledoux, H. (author)Data on the number of floors is required for several applications, for instance, energy demand estimation, population estimation, and flood response plans. Despite this, open data on the number of floors is very rare, even when a 3D city model is available. In practice, it is most often inferred with a geometric method: elevation data is used...journal article 2022

(author)Point cloud is made up of a multitude of three-dimensional (3D) points with one or more attributes attached. Point cloud is the third data paradigm in addition to the well-established object (vector) and gridded (raster) representations, since point cloud data can be directly collected, computed, stored, and analyzed without converting to other...conference paper 2022

van den Berg, L. (author), Pronk, M. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author)Granular sludge processes are frequently used in domestic and industrial wastewater treatment. The granule buoyant density and biomass density are important parameters for the design and operation of granular sludge reactors. Different methods to measure the granule density include the pycnometer method, the Percoll density gradient method,...journal article 2022

van Dijk, E.J.H. (author), Haaksman, V.A. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Pronk, M. (author)In this study a mathematical framework was developed to describe aerobic granulation based on 6 main mechanisms: microbial selection, selective wasting, maximizing transport of substrate into the biofilm, selective feeding, substrate type and breakage. A numerical model was developed using four main components; a 1D convection/dispersion...journal article 2022

Toja Ortega, S. (author), van den Berg, L. (author), Pronk, M. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author)In aerobic granular sludge (AGS) reactors, granules of different sizes coexist in a single reactor. Their differences in settling behaviour cause stratification in the settled granule bed. In combination with substrate concentration gradients over the reactor height during the anaerobic plug-flow feeding regime, this can result in functional...journal article 2022

van Aalst, A.C.A. (author), Mans, R. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author)Background: Saccharomyces cerevisiae is intensively used for industrial ethanol production. Its native fermentation pathway enables a maximum product yield of 2 mol of ethanol per mole of glucose. Based on conservation laws, supply of additional electrons could support even higher ethanol yields. However, this option is disallowed by the...journal article 2022
