This research aimed at assessing the properties of guinea pig manure digestate from low-cost tubular digesters for crops fertilization in rural Andean communities. To this end, field trials were carried out to evaluate the ...

This study aimed at analyzing the anaerobic co-digestion of microalgal biomass grown in wastewater and wheat straw. To this end, Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) tests were carried out testing different substrate ...

Low-cost tubular digesters originally developed in tropical regions have been adapted to the extreme weather conditions of the Andean Plateau (3000e4000 m.a.s.l.). The aim of this study was to characterise biogas production ...

The largest wastewater treatment plant consists of a high-rate anaerobic system, followed by vertical and horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HFCW) with a treatment area of nearly 1900 sq m and a final step ...

Microbial fuel cells implemented in constructed wetlands (CW-MFCs), albeit a relatively new technology still under study, have shown to improve treatment efficiency of urban wastewater. So far the vast majority of CW-MFC ...

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of climate, season and wastewater quality on contaminant removal efficiency of constructed wetlands implemented in Mediterranean and continental-Mediterranean climate region ...

The aim of this study was to assess the environmental benefits of implementing low-cost digesters in small-scale farms in Colombia by using the LCA methodology. Four scenarios were taken into account considering two ...

An experimental hybrid system based on an anaerobic reactor followed by three stages of different constructed wetland configurations was evaluated when operating under a high hydraulic loading rate (HLR = 0.27 m d-1, ...
