Sustainable Energy Solutions
A biological process that occurs when organic matter is decomposed by bacteria in the absence of oxygen.
What is anaerobic digestion?
The integration of an off-grid solar-assisted heat pump and a sequencing batch biofilter granular reactor.
What is thermal energy recovery?
Waste reduction, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and provides a renewable source of energy.
What are advantages of biogas production?
The efficiency can be affected by the variability in wastewater temperature and flow rate.
What are challenges of thermal heat recovery?
Capable of producing approximately 90 billion cubic meters of biogas annually from domestic wastewater sludge.
What is the Democratic Republic of the Congo?
Contributes to the sustainability of agriculture.
What is an advantage of nutrient recovery?
The conversion of waste materials into usable forms of energy.
What is harnessing energy from WWTPs?
Promising feedstock due to its high nutrient concentration, low volumetric flow, and suitable nutrient ratios.
What is sludge liquor?
Needs to be purified before use
What is a disadvantage of biogas production?
Climate change and energy scarcity is becoming an increasing challenge.
What is the importance of sustainable energy production?
Potassium nitrate, calcium nitrate, and magnesium sulfate
What are the lacking nutrients in nutrient recovery for hydroponic systems?
Initial investment for the necessary equipment can be high.
What is a disadvantage to thermal energy recovery?
