Despite the amazing achievements over the years, the activated sludge (AS) process still
maintains inherent drawbacks, namely gravity settling, high sludge ages, low excess sludge …

Managing sewage sludge effectively is a major challenge in today's environmental
practices. This is due to the rising sludge production and the challenge of finding …

This study operated for 160 days and evaluated sludge minimization using an oxic-settling-
anaerobic (OSA) system fed with real wastewater. At first, a pilot-scale conventional …

Abstract Oxic-settling-anoxic (OSA) process is one of the promising variants that produces
lower amounts of sludge and has been applied to aerobic and nutrient removal systems …

In the present study, the feasibility of aerobic cometabolism biodegradation of MTBE was
investigated by the microbial consortium obtained municipal wastewater treatment plant in …

A new model for the activated sludge process with membrane separation is presented,
based on the effective filtration size. A new size threshold is imposed by the membrane …

BACKGROUND This study investigated the water and pollution footprints of a dye house,
which processed cotton knits, polyester (PES) knits and PES‐viscose woven fabrics …

BACKGROUND This study investigated the anatomy of organic carbon (as chemical oxygen
demand, COD) removal from sewage through chemically assisted settling, by means of …

Thermophilic biological fluidized bed reactors operating in aerobic/anoxic alternate
conditions proved to be a feasible solution for sewage sludge minimization. However, to …

The objective of the study was to explore the impact of different operation strategies on the
performance of the Oxic-Settling-Anaerobic (OSA) process. A sequencing batch reactor was …
