Life cycle assessment of low-cost technologies for digestate treatment and reuse in small-scale farms in Colombia
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessAnaerobic digestion (AD) is a practice that is mainly carried out to give treatment to different kinds of organic residues (e.g. food waste, manure, agricultural residues) in order to obtain biogas and produce bioenergy. ... -
Integrating Sustainability snd Social Commitment (S&SC) competences in the curriculum at the Barcelona School of Civil Engineering
(European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThe importance of integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in the curriculum of all the bachelor and master degrees at UPC has been legally and institutionally recognised. At the Barcelona School of Civil ... -
Methodology for integrated multicriteria decision-making with uncertainty (MIMDU) for robust analysis. Case study about agricultural efficiency in Colombia
(2022)
Conference report
Open AccessSelecting the best among different alternatives may require asking for experts’ opinions to weight key criteria and assess the alternatives. Their opinions can be: 1) hesitant, and 2) difficult to quantify on a numerical ... -
Numerical analysis of hydrodynamic conditions in pilot flat-panel photobioreactor: operating and design parameters influence on the microalgae cultivation
(ETA Florence Renewable Energies, 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe aim of this work was to investigate the influence of hydrodynamic conditions on the process of microalgae cultivation in a pilot flat-panel photobioreactor (150 L of culture medium). Based on the pulse-input indicator ... -
Numerical investigation of hydrodynamic conditions in a pilot tubular photobioreactor
(WIP Renewable Energies, 2018)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyA numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was utilized to investigate the flow hydrodynamics of pilot horizontal tubular photobioreactor (PBR) with a 11 700 L culture medium. To establish the reliability ... -
Digital twins in civil and environmental engineering classrooms
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2018)
Conference report
Open AccessDigital twins are understood as digital replica of physical models whose behavior can be observed simultaneously (digitally and physically) in real time. These tools are increasingly used in advanced industries for several ... -
Comparison of the mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic sludge digestion from an energy perspective
(Destech, 2011)
Conference report
Open AccessAnaerobic digestion promotes simultaneous sludge stabilisation and bioenergy generation. Increasing the net energy production would contribute in reducing the energy demand of sewage treatment plants. Thermophilic digestion ... -
Codigestión de microalgas y fango primario: producción de energía y reutilización del digestato
(2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyLos sistemas de tratamiento de aguas residuales con microalgas combinan el tratamiento de aguas residuales y la producción de bioenergía. Para este fin, una de las tecnologías más apropiadas es la digestión anaerobia, ... -
Enhancement of anaerobic digestion performance: which pretreatment for which waste?
(Mines Albi, 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyWhen properly designed, pretreatment may enhance the methane potential and/or anaerobic digestion rate, allowing better digester performance. The purpose of this paper is to give guidelines and present a rationale on ... -
Evaluación energética de la digestión anaerobia termofílica con pre-tratamiento térmico de los fangos a 70 ºC
(2008)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyLa digestión anaerobia termofílica (50-55 ºC) es más eficiente que la mesofílica (35-40 ºC) en términos de destrucción de sólidos, producción de biogás y eliminación de patógenos [1]. El proceso se puede acelerar mediante ... -
Tratamiento de lodos de depuradora con lechos de macrófitos acuáticos
(2008)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyEn el contexto del tratamiento de lodos de depuradora, los sistemas con lechos de macrófitos resultan particularmente adecuados, sobretodo en depuradoras pequeñas (<2000 hab.-eq.) que no disponen de tratamientos convencionales, ... -
Sludge dewatering and mineralization in two full-scale drying reed beds in Catalonia, Spain
(2008)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyOptimization of sludge management should help reducing sludge handling costs in wastewater treatment plants. Sludge drying reed beds appear as a new and alternative technology. The study have been carried out in two systems ...
