Coupling a rotating biological contactor with an anaerobic baffled reactor for sustainable energy recovery from domestic wastewater

Abstract

Anaerobic resource recovery offers a sustainable technology for communities that lack wastewater treatment. Anaerobic treatment of domestic wastewater, however, produces dissolved methane with life cycle environmental impacts that undermine treatment...

Tracking performance and disturbance in decentralized wastewater treatment systems with fluorescence spectroscopy

“…35 In ABR systems, the discharge of effluents with high concentrations of dissolved methane is a concern and negates some life cycle benefits of anaerobic treatment. 38 Therefore, better understanding of the relationships between F420-like fluorescence and dissolved methane in ABR systems is warranted.…”
