Our previous work has reported the pretreatment of secondary sludge with free ammonia
(NH 3, FA) enhanced the methane production in batch biochemical methane potential tests …

Written by experts in the field, this thoroughly updated third edition covers commonly used
and emerging suspended and attached growth reactors. Drawing on their extensive …

Biomethanation is a process by which organic material is microbiologically converted under
anaerobic conditions to biogas. Three main physiological groups of microorganisms are …

Wastewater treatment plants are large non-linear systems subject to large perturbations in
wastewater flow rate, load and composition. Nevertheless these plants have to be operated …

Anaerobic process modelling is a mature and well-established field, largely guided by a
mechanistic model structure that is defined by our understanding of underlying processes …

In order to promote low-carbon sustainable operational management of the wastewater
treatment plants (WWTPs), automatic control and optimal operation technologies, which …

Anaerobic digestion is an excellent technique for the energetic valorisation of various types
