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 ... -

Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyEl Grupo de Investigación en Cooperación y Desarrollo Humano (GRECDH) está constituido por personal docente e investigador de diferentes departamentos y Escuelas de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Dentro del ... -
Technical, economic and environmental assessment of household biogas digesters in developing countries
(Internatinal Water Association (IWA), 2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study was carried out in response to the growing interest on household biogas digesters in Latin America, particularly in rural Andean communities. The aim was to compare traditional and novel digester designs, in ... -
Comparing pretreatment methods to improve the methane yield of microalgae grown in wastewater
(2013)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicroalgae have recently drawn attention as a potential resource for biofuels generation. In the short term, anaerobic digestion seems the most viable downstream process. Still, microalgae cell wall restrains the hydrolysis, ...
