Roest, Bart (author)Van Oord is currently building the Gemini Wind farm in the North Sea. It is located 80km North of Schiermonnikoog. Before execution started some wave and current analysing buoys have been deployed to investigate the currents on the location of the wind farm for workability and insurance purposes. In this report the ADCP-current data will be...student report 2015

Yu, Hon-Chuk (author)Resources recovery from wastewater is pursued as it facilitates a circular economy, which a society runs with a minimal environmental impact. Eutectic freeze crystallisation (EFC) has been identified as a potential technology that can assist to achieve such goal. High quality of salt and ice can be retrieved with this treatment with a note of...master thesis 2018

Fajar Muhammad Rahman, F. (author)The new concept of sewer mining which utilizes the ceramic nanofiltration (C-NF) membranes offers a compact solution for water and other resources recovery. However, since it has very limited pre-treatment process, membrane fouling is a common problem due to the direct contact between the membrane and sewage water. Sewage water contains a lot of...master thesis 2018

Platell, Hugo (author)In this report a first assessment is made of the impact of hurricanes on Saint Martin. Two bays at the east coast of Saint Martin, Baie Orientale and Baie de L'Embouchure, are studied under the conditions of hurricane Irma and Maria, which both have passed over in September 2017. During these hurricanes the bays were exposed to large wind speeds...student report 2018

Nair, Revathy (author)Large amounts of residual waste activated sludge are produced as by-products during biological wastewater treatment processes. Anaerobic digestion is a widely accepted stabilisation method for waste activated sludge (WAS) treatment. However, the application of anaerobic digestion is limited by the long retention time and low degradation...master thesis 2019

Garcia Solano, Magnolia (author)In this work, the effects of the addition of a cationic polymer ADIFLOC KD 451 (ADIPAP, France) in the performance of a decentralized Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) pilot plant treating 1.5 m3 blackwater per day was studied. To this end, on-line sludge filterability characterizations were performed following the Delft Filtration...student report 2019

Nair, Athira (author)Certain industrial wastewaters have posed a challenge to water treatment systems because of their composition. The bitumen from the reclaimed asphalt process is heated by the BAM Infra Asfalt and produces fumes, which are usually sent to the air filters and then out through the chimney. To recover the heat lost through the fume, it is condensed....master thesis 2019

Seeram Apoorva, Apoorva (author)The presence of extracellular DNA (eDNA) containing antibiotic resistance genes in the treated wastewater effluents can contribute to the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among receiving waters. The removal of cell associated antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has been widely studied using advance treatments. However, these treatments...master thesis 2019

Halvawala, Pooja (author)The presence of organic and inorganic contaminants in aquatic ecosystem has been threat to public health and environment. To produce drinking water, removal of natural organic matter has been of importance due to formation of DBPs. Of the many available treatments, ion exchange (IEX) has the potential to remove natural organic matter (NOM)....master thesis 2019

Singh, Surabhi (author)Freshwater biodiversity is in a state of crisis with an annual decline rate of 3.9% compared to 1.1% decline in terrestrial biodiversity (Living Planet Index). The actual decline rate may be higher than estimated as many of the species are data deficient or not yet assessed or became extinct before assessment. We have far surpassed the...master thesis 2019

He, Mingjing (author)The wide application of pesticides, pharmaceuticals and personal care products cause an increasing contamination of aquatic systems. Adsorption by zeolites is a promising process to remove target organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) selectively from water bodies. In order to have a sustainable adsorption process, restoring the adsorption capacity of...master thesis 2019

Ramakrishnan, Pooja (author)In the coming decade, the Dutch government plans to broadly expand its wind farm real estate over the North Sea region. This is a significant undertaking because, from literature, it is understood that wind turbines can affect the local environment. These impacts include, but are not limited to, changes in variables such as wind speed and...master thesis 2019

Dai, Yi (author)In current study, several fundamental and inherent problems in original Deardorff subgrid model are identified under stably stratified condition. It is found that the mixing length parameterization in this subgrid model is at the root of a long trouble problem of grid size sensitivity in large-eddy simulation (LES). A new formulation of mixing...master thesis 2020
