The Sludge Dewaterability in Advanced Wastewater Treatment: A Survey of Four Different Membrane BioReactor Pilot Plants
The wasted activated sludge dewaterability represents a major concern for Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) managers. Indeed, whereas the dewatered sludge could represents a re-usable matrix, the principal d...

Bacterial Community Structure of an IFAS-MBRs Wastewater Treatment Plant
In this work, the bacterial community putatively involved in BNR events of a UCT-MBMBR pilot plant was elucidated by both culture-dependent and metagenomics DNA analyses. The presence of bacterial isolates bel...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Membrane Bioreactors
Nowadays, it is widely accepted that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission, contributing to the anthropogenic sources. Among the GHG emitted from WWTPs, n...
