Wang, Feifei (author), Hua, Yulin (author), Pan, Jiazheng (author), Zhou, Jie (author), Hea, Chiquan (author), Hofman, J.A.M.H. (author), Chu, Wenhai (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)In drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs), the widely used biological activated carbon filters (BACFs), as the last barrier before disinfection, can remove dissolved organic matter (DOM) known as precursors of disinfection by-products (DBPs). Whether phosphate addition can improve water purification and DBP control of BACFs is still...journal article 2023

Gonzalez Silva, J. (author), van der Hoek, D.C. (author), Mulders, S.P. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author), van Wingerden, J.W. (author)Wind turbines are prone to structural degradation, particularly in offshore locations. Based on the structural health condition of the tower, power de-rating strategies can be used to reduce structural loads at the cost of power losses. This paper introduces a novel closed-loop switching control architecture to constrain the thrust in individual...conference paper 2022

Wang, Feifei (author), Pan, Jiazheng (author), Hu, Yulin (author), Zhou, Jie (author), Wang, Haoqian (author), Huang, Xin (author), Chu, Wenhai (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Biological activated carbon (BAC) filtration is usually considered to be able to decrease formation potentials (FPs) of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water treatment plant (DWTP). However, BAC filters with long running time may release microbial metabolites to effluents and therefore increase FPs of nitrogenous DBPs with high...journal article 2022

Fu, Mingyan (author), Wang, Jiawei (author), Heijman, Sebastiaan (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Advanced technologies to remove organic micropollutants (OMPs) from municipal wastewater have gained much attention over the last decades. Adsorption by zeolites is one of these technologies. In this study, the regeneration performance of well-tailored granular zeolites loaded with OMPs was evaluated. The selected OMPs were categorized into...journal article 2021

Peng, Liqi (author), Wang, Feifei (author), Zhang, Di (author), Fang, Chao (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), Chu, Wenhai (author)The high chlorine dosages in wastewater treatment plants during the COVID-19 pandemic may result in increased formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs), posing great threat to the aquatic ecosystem of the receiving water body and the public health in the downstream area. However, limited information is available on the effect of biological...journal article 2021

Ilyas, Huma (author), Masih, Ilyas (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)This paper investigates disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation and their relationship with governing factors in chlorinated swimming pools. The study compares concentrations of DBPs with WHO guidelines for drinking water quality recommended to screen swimming pool water quality. The statistical analysis is based on a global database of 188...journal article 2018
