HYDROGEN PRODUCTION THROUGH ANAEROBIC DIGESTION OF DIFFERENT SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE: BATCH AND SEMI-CONTINUOUS TESTS
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Conventional H2 production methods are based on physico-chemical processes, such as waterelectrolysis or chemical cracking of hydrocarbons; however, in the perspective of reducing fossil fuels use and combustion, H2 production via biological processes is attractive. Biohydrogen can be generated by three microbial groups, namely (1) cyanobacteria which decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of light energy by photosynthesis; (2) photosynthetic purple non-sulfur bacteria, which are heterotrophic microorganisms producing H2 under anaerobic conditions and in presence of light energy; (3) fermentative bacteria, primarily Clostridia, which produce H2 through dark fermentation.

INTEGRATED CONCEPT FOR DECENTRALISED WASTEWATER AND BIOWASTE TREATMENT – EXPERIENCES AT THE PILOT PLANT STAGE
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
The re-use of spent water is an important issue to reduce the use of potable water in the face of restrictions on natural water availability. Municipal wastewater treated in centralised wastewater treatment plants is usually discharged after treatment without further reuse. Also, huge amounts of drinking water are often wasted for irrigation and other purposes where lower grade water would be sufficient. The required quality of reclaimed water depends on the intended application. An elevated nutrient content in recycled wastewater may lead to advantages in irrigation in order to save fertiliser and simultaneously reduce the total nutrient discharge to water bodies (Bixio et al., 2006).

Tertiary Treatment at the La Gavia Wastewater Treatment Plant, Madrid (Plant Report)
© Infoenviro (3/2007)
The design of the La Gavia Wastewater Treatment Plant, inaugurated in June of 2005, contemplated the incorporation of a water reuse system in response to the objectives set in the AGUA Programme of the Ministry of Environment. To that end, space was reserved and the necessary pre-installations were taken into account in the original works.

Saving potentials at the purification of landfill leachate
© Wasteconsult International (12/2006)
How is it possible to optimise a functioning and stable working biological leachate treatment plant without considerable reconstruction measures but with generating extensive economies regarding the operating costs amounting to a 5-digit sum (Euro). State-of-the-art regarding the biological nitrogen elimination in the area of the communal purification of waste water and landfill leachate is the combination of nitrification and denitrification accompanied by a more or less (cost-)intensive application of an external carbon source and corresponding production of a surplus activated sludge.

Owing to acidity, phenolic compounds, suspended substances, high organic content and phytotoxicity, the wastewater coming from the oil mills (OMW) is considered as one of the most polluting agroindustrial effluents.

Development of Material-Flow-Oriented Concepts for Waste Water Systems Based On ZERO EMISSION
© European Compost Network ECN e.V. (9/2006)
SUMMARY: Today the domestic water industry is confronted with a lot of problems like high costs, lack of sustainability and ecological deficiencies which are caused by linear material-flows in the conventional system of waste water treatment. One major deficiency of this one-sided system is the production of waste.
