A state-of-the-art review on producing engineered biochar from shellfish waste and its application in aquaculture wastewater treatment
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Global production of shellfish aquaculture is steadily increasing owing to the growing market demands for shellfish. The intensification of shellfish aquaculture to maximize production rate has led to increased generation ... -
Assessment of algae-based wastewater treatment in hot climate region: Treatment performance and kinetics
( Institution of Chemical Engineers , 2020 , Article)This study evaluated the use of microalgae for wastewater treatment in hot climate regions. The growth rates of C. vulgaris (C.v.) and N. oleoabundans (N.o.) at 36 °C were studied in primary effluent (PE), secondary effluent ... -
Evaluating greywater and A/C condensate daily volume and water quality in urban settings
( American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers , 2011 , Conference Paper)Due to increasing water demand as a result of population growth and improvement in living standards, many countries with arid climate are already facing water shortages that are being met by expensive desalination projects. ... -
Improving the Performance of Attached-Growth Wastewater Treatment Processes by Altering the Support Media Surface
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2019 , Article)This study investigated the impact of altering the surface characteristics of support media used in attached-growth processes on the performance of biological wastewater treatment. The surface alteration was achieved through ... -
Monitoring and measurement of microalgae using the first derivative of absorbance and comparison with chlorophyll extraction method
( Springer International Publishing , 2018 , Article)Monitoring of microalgae in water supplies and industrial applications are becoming increasingly important, yet there are few options available that are simple and accurate, and can provide real-time information. The present ... -
