Influence of sampling methods on the production of volatile emissions from biosolids-related sources
As there is lack of understanding the roles of sampling methods on measuring for volatile gas sampling from biosolids, it might cause various concern about what are we really measuring…
In Australia, around 1.4 million tonnes of biosolids were produced in 2021…
Biosolids odour impacts communities and public perception of water utilities…
Biosolids are the solid by-product of treated wastewater derived from industrial and residential sewage systems (stabilised sewage sludge)…
The project aims to quantify the direct fugitive greenhouse gas emissions of the Canberra’s sewage treatment at Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC), identify potential fugitive emission reduction initiatives, and advise on the implementation of mitigation strategies…
Barwon Water produces almost 700 tons of dry solid sludge per annum from its two main water treatment plants at Wurdee Buloc and the Moorabool River…
Algal systems can be used to decrease the concentration of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in wastewater to low levels, and hence reduce the harm of wastewater discharge and facilitate water reuse…
Conventional activated sludge (CAS) has been widely used for biological nutrient removal in the secondary treatment stage of the wastewater process for well over 100 years…
