Bioremediation of aquaculture wastewater with the microalgae Tetraselmis suecica: Semi-continuous experiments, simulation and photo-respirometric tests
Andreotti, Valeria; Solimeno, Alessandro; Rossi, Simone; Ficara, Elena; Marazzi, Francesca; Mezzanotte, Valeria; García Serrano, Joan (Elsevier, 2020-10)
Article
Accés obertTetraselmis suecica was cultivated in a semi-continuously operated tubular photobioreactor fed on aquaculture wastewater (AW) testing two hydraulic retention times (HRT): 10 and 7 days (RUN_1 and RUN_2, respectively). The ... -
Constructed wetlands to solve agricultural drainage pollution in South Florida: development of an advanced simulation tool for design optimization
García Serrano, Joan; Solimeno, Alessandro; Zhang, Li; Marois, Darryl; Mitsch, William J. (2020-06)
Article
Accés obertEutrophication is a widespread global scale pollution problem. Agricultural areas are generally the main contributors to eutrophication, whereas sewage and industrial discharges, which usually receive some treatment prior ... -
Feasibility assessment of energy-neutral microalgae-based wastewater treatment plants under Spanish climatic conditions
Díez Montero, Rubén; Solimeno, Alessandro; Uggetti, Enrica; García Galán, María Jesús; García Serrano, Joan (2018-10)
Article
Accés obertThe energy balance of a hypothetical microalgae-based wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) has been performed for thirteen geographic locations covering the whole range of latitudes, longitudes and climate conditions of the ... -
Growth of Tetraselmis suecica and Dunaliella tertiolecta in aquaculture wastewater: numerical simulation with the BIO_ALGAE model
Andreotti, Valeria; Solimeno, Alessandro; Chindris, Anuta; García Serrano, Joan; Marazzi, Francesca (2019-03)
Article
Accés obertThis study investigates and compares the uptake of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus) and the growth of Tetraselmis suecica and Dunaliella tertiolecta in aquaculture wastewater. The obtained data were used to implement and ... -
Improvement of real-scale raceway bioreactors for microalgae production using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Inostroza González, Cristian; Solimeno, Alessandro; García Serrano, Joan; Fernández Sevilla, José M.; Acién Fernández, Francisco Gabriel (Elsevier, 2021-04)
Article
Accés obertIn this work, the design and hydrodynamic of a 500 m2 raceway bioreactor were optimized using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). First, the influence of the bend type (traditional, isle partition and baffle partition) and ... -
Integral microalgae-bacteria model (BIO_ALGAE): application to wastewater high rate algal ponds
Solimeno, Alessandro; Parker, Lauren; Lundquist, Tryg; García Serrano, Joan (2017-12)
Article
Accés obertAn integral mechanistic model describing the complex interactions in mixed algal-bacterial systems was developed. The model includes crucial physical, chemical and biokinetic processes of microalgae as well as bacteria in ... -
Mechanistic model for design, analysis, operation and control of microalgae cultures: calibration and application to tubular photobioreactors
Solimeno, Alessandro; Acién Fernández, Francisco Gabriel; García Serrano, Joan (Elsevier, 2017-01)
Article
Accés obertClosed photobioreactors (PBRs) are usually used for the production of high-value microalgae biomass at higher productivities than in open ponds. A large variety of different PBRs have been developed to optimize the biomass ... -

Article
Accés obertThe prospect of treating wastewater and at the same time producing microalgae biomass is receiving increasing attention. Mechanistic models for microalgae growth in wastewater are currently being developed for new systems ... -
Numerical modelling of microalgae systems for wastewater treatment
Solimeno, Alessandro (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-05-04)
Tesi
Accés obertReactions and processes that occur in microalgae and bacteria systems are difficult to understand because most of them take place simultaneously and depend on many parameters such as temperature, solar radiation, nutrients ... -
Numerical simulation of emerging pollutants removal in constructed wetlands
Solimeno, Alessandro (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-06-01)
Tesina
Accés restringit per decisió de l'autorThe progressive water demand and the shortage of water resource in recent years have attracted increasing interest in finding alternative techniques for wastewater treatment rather than traditional cleaning systems. ... -
