Abu Ghunmi, L. (author), Zeeman, G. (author), Fayyad, M. (author), Van Lier, J.B. (author)Knowing the biodegradability characteristics of grey water constituents is imperative for a proper design and operation of a biological treatment system of grey water. This study characterizes the different COD fractions of dormitory grey water and investigates the effect of applying different conditions in the biodegradation test. The maximum...journal article 2010

Lindeboom, R. (author), Smith, G. (author), Jeison, D. (author), Temmink, H. (author), Van Lier, J.B. (author)Membrane bioreactors represent a promising technology for wastewater treatment, already applied to a wide variety of industrial effluents and sewage. Gas or air sparging is a commonly applied approach to generate surface shear to control fouling phenomena and cake formation causing flux reduction. In inside-out tubular membranes, gas sparging is...journal article 2010

Letema, S. (author), Van Vliet, B. (author), Van Lier, J.B. (author)Urbanisation of poverty and informality in East Africa poses a threat to public health and environmental protection, perpetuating social exclusion and inequalities, while it creates service gaps. Neither conventional on-site sanitation nor modern centralised off-site sanitation provisions are tenable citywide, giving rise to the emergence of...conference paper 2012

(author), Impe, J.F.M. (author), Smets, I.Y. (author)Nowadays, waste activated sludge is more and more regarded as an energy source (through subsequent anaerobic digestion) or even as a potential source of fine chemicals (through subsequent fermentation processes). To this end, the organic content of the activated sludge should remain as high as possible implying short sludge residence times (SRT)...conference paper 2012

(author)Conventional anaerobic digestion is a commonly used technology worldwide and external biogas upgrading is well documented (Wellinger and Lindberg, 2001). Biogas generated in waste (water) treatment facilities is increasingly regarded as an important source of renewable energy. However, generally, the CH4 content in biogas ranges between 55-70%,...conference paper 2013

(author)A laboratory scale external anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) treating high strength wastewater was operated to assess the effect of gas sparging velocity and organic loading rate on removal efficiency and dynamic membrane (DM) filtration characteristics. An increase in gas sparging velocity (GSV) results in a decrease in DM...conference paper 2013

(author)Prevention and removal of fouling is often the most energy intensive process in Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs), responsible for 40% to 50% of the total specific energy consumed in submerged MBRs. In the past decade, methods were developed to quantify and qualify fouling, aiming to support optimization in MBR operation. Therefore, there is a need...journal article 2014

Mitigation of Humic Acid Inhibition in Anaerobic Digestion of Cellulose by Addition of Various SaltsAzman, S. (author), Khadem, A.F. (author), Zeeman, G. (author), Van Lier, J.B. (author), Plugge, C.M. (author)Humic compounds are inhibitory to the anaerobic hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass. In this study, the impact of salt addition to mitigate the inhibitory effects of humic compounds was investigated. The experiment was conducted using batch tests to monitor the anaerobic hydrolysis of cellulose in the presence of humic acid. Sodium, potassium,...journal article 2015

An integrated approach for efficient biomethane production from solid bio-wastes in a compact systemWang, H. (author), Tao, Y. (author), Temudo, M. (author), Schooneveld, M. (author), Bijl, H.

(author)Background Solid bio-wastes (or organic residues) are worldwide produced in high amount and increasingly considered bioenergy containers rather than waste products. A complete bioprocess from recalcitrant solid wastes to methane (SW2M) via anaerobic digestion (AD) is believed to be a sustainable way to utilize solid bio-wastes. However, the...journal article 2015
