The study aims to recover nitrogen from wastewater by employing ultrafiltration membrane in water reuse for agriculture purpose. To such aim, a new reclaimed water quality index (RWQI) is proposed and applied including an innovative protocol for its assessment. Specifically, the influence of filtration and backwashing times for an ultrafiltration s...
The limited available area for treatment plants in population-dense settlements increases the need for technologies with smaller footprints. The high-rate activated sludge (HRAS) process aims to capture carbon from wastewater by limiting biological assimilation with a high loading rate which enables occupying a smaller footprint. The footprint of t...
Water is crucial for economic development since it interacts with the agricultural, production, and energy sectors. However, the increasing demand and climate change put pressure on water sources. This paper argued the necessity of using reclaimed water for irrigation within the scope of a circular economy. The barriers (i.e., technological and eco...
Industries use reclaimed water for their makeup water requirements of cooling towers to decrease their water footprints. Makeup water quality depends on the type of cooling tower design; however, total suspended solids (TSS), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), fecal coliform, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), some ions (sulphate, chloride, ammonium)...
The objective of this study is to develop a mechanistic model to predict the long-term dynamic performance of High-Rate Activated Sludge (HRAS) process, including the removal of carbon (COD), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). The model was formulated with inspiration from Activated Sludge Models No. 1 and 3 (ASM1 and ASM3) to incorporate essential...
The paper reports the results of an experimental study aimed at comparing two configurations of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP): conventional activated sludge (CAS) and oxic-settling-anaerobic process (OSA) with intermittent aeration (IA). A comprehensive monitoring campaign was carried out to assess multiple parameters for comparing...
Anaerobic co-digestion of fat-oil-grease (FOG) and food waste (FW) with sewage sludge (SS) in wastewater treatment plants is a method used to increase biogas production. In this study, digestion scenarios were compared using plant-wide modeling and life cycle assessment: Scenario-0 (mono-digestion of waste-activated sludge (WAS)), Scenario-1 (co-di...
Coagulants such as aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3 (alum)) and ferric chloride (FeCl3) used in water treatment plants (WTPs) led to the generation of sludge that is usually disposed to landfills. However, the utilization of WTP sludge is being encouraged by authorities to achieve sustainable development. This study aims to investigate WTP sludge utiliz...
Bulking and foaming are extreme filamentous bacterial growths that present serious challenges for the biological leachate treatment process. The current study evaluates the performance of long-term full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) treating landfill leachate, specifically focusing on filamentous bacteria overgrowth in the bioreactors. The influe...
A mathematical correlation between biomass kinetic and membrane fouling can improve the understanding and spread of Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology, especially in solving the membrane fouling issues. On this behalf, this paper, produced by the International Water Association (IWA) Task Group on Membrane modelling and control, reviews the curre...
Biogas production from anaerobic sludge digestion plays a central role for wastewater treatment plants to become more energy-efficient or even energy-neutral. Dedicated configurations have been developed to maximize the diversion of soluble and suspended organic matter to sludge streams for energy production through anaerobic digestion, such as A-s...
Achieving a neutral/positive energy balance without compromising discharge standards is one of the main goals of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in terms of sustainability. Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology promises high treatment performance with low energy and footprint requirement. In this study, high-rate activated sludge (HRAS) proc...
Aerobic granules contain microorganisms that are responsible for carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus removal in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process in which aerobic/anoxic/anaerobic layers (from surface to core) occur in a single granule. Optimizing the aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process for granulation and efficient nutrient removal can be chall...
Characteristics of seed sludge are of great importance in granulation and treatment performance of aerobic granular sludge process. Fast-settling floccular sludge has been shown to be affective on accelerating granulation. High-rate activated sludge process provides organic matter capturing from municipal wastewaters in order to harvest the chemica...
All inputs and outputs of a technical system can be interpreted from an environmental point of view and some modifications, that are less harmful to the environment, can be incorporated into the system by using the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. The energy footprint of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is one of the most important environm...
Leachate treatment is crucial in landfill management. As landfill ages, inert constituents and ammonia nitrogen concentration in leachate increases, which results in a decrease in biological treatability. In this study, a full-scale MBR treating leachate was dynamically modeled using ASM1. The investigated landfill has been serving for more than 25...
Metabolites of some cyanobacteria and actinomycete species such as geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) are generally the sources of earthy and musty odor in surface waters. Peroxone process, that is a combination of ozone (O3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), has the potential to effectively remove these compounds. In this study, the removal of MIB w...
Taste and odor in drinking water are one of the main problems of water supply and treatment sector. Peroxone is an effective advanced oxidation process, which combines ozone with hydrogen peroxide to create hydroxyl radicals that decompose organic compounds. 2-Methylisoborneol (2-MIB) is one of the significant taste and odor causing compounds, whic...

Ozet Atıksu arıtma tesislerinde oluşan sera gazı emisyonları son yıllarda küresel ölçekte önem kazanan bir konu haline gelmiştir. Özellikle nitröz oksit (N2O), atıksu arıtma tesislerinden kaynaklanan en önemli sera gazlarından biridir. Sera gazı emisyonu miktarı, atıksu arıtma tesisinde uygulanan prosese ve işletme koşullarına bağlı olarak ihmal ed...
The major measure taken on global warming is to control greenhouse gas emission for different economic sectors. Within the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), to which Turkey is party, parties are obliged to reportannual greenhouse gas emissions from each economic sector. Greenhouse gas emissions from the...
İnsan faaliyetleri sonucu atmosfere salınan sera gazları küresel ısınmaya neden olmakta ve yağış rejimi değişiklikleri ile sıcaklık dalgası, kuraklık ve taşkın gibi olayların gözlenme sıklığındaki artış, bölgesel ve küresel iklim değişikliğini işaret etmektedir. Sanayi Devrimi’nden bu yana artan nüfus, üretim ve tüketim sonucu ivmelenen insan kayna...
