Galdieria sulphuraria (G. sulphuraria ) is a eukaryotic, extremophilic, spherical and unicellular species of red algae. G. sulphuraria can grow at very low pH-values (pH 0.05 – 5.0) and high temperatures (35 – 56 °C). The growth conditions of G. sulphuraria make it suitable for axenic cultivation because the low pH and high temperature...

In palm oil extraction process, a large amount of lipids are emulsified in waste stream and the hot, brownish palm oil mill effluent (POME) is generated. In this study, the membrane technology was proposed to test the feasibility of direct ultrafiltration (UF) of POME by using a-Al2O3 and PVDF membranes, and to figure out the recovery rates of...

Interest in biogas has increased due to natural gas shortages and the energy transition. Most digesters in the EU have internal heating for process stability. Unheated reactors could potentially lower costs, but have decreased kinetics due to low operational temperatures, especially in winter. This raises the question how seasonal temperature...

A circular economy (CE) is seen as needed in all industry sectors to manage finite resources and to reduce the impact of production and consumption of goods on the planet. While the food and beverage industry has already many measurements in place to ensure cleaner production, a transition towards a CE requires a broader systems perspective....

With increasing pressure on natural water resources, wastewater is gradually being considered as a potential source for potable water. Current WWTPs are designed for the removal of parameters like solids, nutrients, organic matter, and pathogens. For achieving a high-quality effluent, that enables reuse, it is important to also address the...

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a high organic pollution produced during the palm oil mill process, with a brownish color and stingy odor at high temperatures. Given the popularity in palm oil output over the years, the massive amount of POME causes growing concern. The enforcement of wastewater discharge standards and laws, as well as energy...

Ceramic nanofiltration (NF) is a newly developed technology for municipal sewage reclamation for drinking water production, agricultural and industrial utilisation, but organic fouling limits it to pilot-scale application. Herein, Fenton-based cleaning catalysed by FeOCl pre-coat was performed on ceramic NF membrane to clean persistent gel-like...

This thesis constitutes a part of the "IMPRESS" project which is aiming at the production of bio-plastics by utilizing hemicellulosic hydrolysates. The hydrolysate stream, after following the steps of acid hydrolysis and neutralization, consists of monosaccharides (C5/C6 sugars), salt and sugar degradation products. The C5/C6 sugars need to be...

Improving circularity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved by utilizing secondary streams like Fischer-Tropsch biosludge, which is typically disposed of in landfills. Biochar, which has accumulated increased interest recently, has significant potential for decreasing carbon emissions and can be created from biosludge. This...

In the past decades, fossil fuels have become an increasing concern, due them being a non-renewable energy source and due to the environmental concerns related to the production and use of this fuel. This has led to increasingly more research in the value of bio-sourced lignocellulosic biomass such as Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) fibres from the palm...

The global temperature rise has pushed governments more into finding ways to reduce CO2 emissions, by increasing the use of renewable fuels. Lignocellulosic biomass (wood, forest residues, agricultural residues) is a renewable fuel that has still not been utilized to its full potential. That is because it lacks properties such as homogeneity,...

Coffee farmers and producers in Kerala (India) face a serious obstacle in their pursuit of a self-sustaining coffee processing technology and fuel deficiency. Research indicates that coffee, as one of the largest industries, generates a huge amount of waste, namely Spent Coffee Grounds (SCGs). This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and...

Oceanic CO2 capture technology can be used as a negative emission technology, or pre-treatment to reduce inorganic fouling (i.e., scaling) potential when further processing seawater. In this work CO2 from (synthetic) seawater was captured electrochemically via bipolar membrane electrodialysis. Although previous studies showed promising results...

Regulations and investments in new technologies for biofuel production as an alternative to fossil fuels have boosted in the last years due to concerns about climate change and anthropogenic CO2 emissions. A valuable supply chain of biomass for biofuel production is one the most significant factors, in order to support the market’s demand. A...

The scarcity of water is a major global concern in the modern times. Hence, the judicial use of water must be coupled with water reuse to counteract the water depletion. To reuse water, we eye on available treatment technologies which can guide us to circular use and reuse of water and nutrients. Anaerobic digestion, is known for producing...
