Comas Matas, Joaquim (Date of defense: 2000-12-14)
La present tesi pretén recollir l'experiència viscuda en desenvolupar un sistema supervisor intel·ligent per a la millora de la gestió de plantes depuradores d'aigües residuals., implementar-lo en planta real (EDAR Granollers) ...
Gabarró i Bartual, Jordi (Date of defense: 2014-07-18)
The biological treatment of industrial wastewater containing high nitrogen concentrations (>1000 mg N L-1) and low biodegradable organic matter (bCOD) such as landfill leachate is nowadays challenging. Conventional ...
Sergienko, Natalia (Date of defense: 2021-10-13)
Formation of hydrogen sulfide represents a major challenge in the operation of wastewater collection systems. Hydrogen sulfide is malodourous and toxic gas, which causes corrosion of pipes, wells, and constructions, hence ...
Pujol Oriola, David (Date of defense: 2015-04-09)
Els ions metàl·lics són contaminants no biodegradables que es poden trobar a les aigües i que poden acumular-se en els organismes vius, causant diverses malalties i trastorns. Un dels metalls més contaminant i àmpliament ...
Colprim Galceran, Jesús (Date of defense: 1998-07-20)
The use of simulation as an upgrading tool has been tested on real wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Currently, the new WWTP have the possibility to monitor some process variables as the flows, oxygen concentrations and, ...
Llauró Fábregas, Xavier (Date of defense: 1999-12-17)
Una de las actuaciones posibles para la gestión de los residuos sólidos urbanos es la valorización energética, es decir la incineración con recuperación de energía. Sin embargo es muy importante controlar adecuadamente el ...
Sbardella, Luca (Date of defense: 2019-05-22)
The presence of several pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) in water bodies has garnered increasing attention and worldwide concern. The effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the main sources ...
Rodríguez-Caballero, Adrián (Date of defense: 2015-03-20)
The exponential increase of the atmospheric concentration of green-house gases due to human activities is responsible for the acceleration of global warming and climate change. Recently, scientific studies have pointed ...
Ribera Guàrdia, Anna (Date of defense: 2017-12-12)
This thesis focuses on the study of the global green house gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater systems. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are the main GHG directly emitted from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). In ...
Gutiérrez Garcia-Moreno, Oriol (Date of defense: 2003-10-16)
El sistema de depuració de tipus Fangs Actius constitueix una de les tècniques més esteses arreu del món pel tractament biològic de les aigües residuals. Els softwares de modelització i simulació permeten adquirir ...
Pellicer Johera, Neus (Date of defense: 2014-03-31)
WWTP present two issues: 1) Get adequate depuration performance; 2) Do it with minimal costs. There are many strategies that can be applied to achieve these requirements, but they cannot be applied indiscriminately. In ...
Aymerich Blazquez, Ignasi (Date of defense: 2019-01-22)
For a long time, there has been a need and an ambition to better understand the behavior of integrated systems by considering the whole urban water cycle, including wastewater transportation, wastewater treatment and the ...
Vilà-Rovira, Albert (Date of defense: 2017-10-20)
This doctoral thesis has integrated biological models (activated sludge models “ASM”) with simulation tools of computational fluid dynamics “CFD”, and has applied them to the design of two advanced technologies for wastewater ...
Dalmau Solé, Jordi (Date of defense: 2009-11-13)
The activated sludge and anaerobic digestion processes have been modelled in widely accepted models. Nevertheless, these models still have limitations when describing operational problems of microbiological origin. The aim ...
Vidal Roberto, Núria (Date of defense: 2004-03-12)
La present tesi proposa una metodologia de disseny conceptual d'estacions depuradores d'aigües residuals (EDAR) mitjançant la combinació del procés de decisió jeràrquic i l'anàlisi de decisions multicriteri. El document ...
Puig Broch, Sebastià (Date of defense: 2008-01-15)
In the last decades, the awareness of environmental issues has increased in society considerably. There is an increasing need to improve the effluent quality of domestic wastewater treatment processes. This thesis describes ...
Akaboci, Tiago Rogeiro Vitor (Date of defense: 2019-07-15)
Anammox-based processes have been commonly applied for the treatment of reject water (high nitrogen content and low C:N ratio), in the sidestream line of urban wastewater tretament plants (WWTP). However, in recent years, ...
Chtourou, Mariem (Date of defense: 2018-10-25)
This thesis evaluates different technologies for treating wastewater with high concentrations of PPCPs. Firstly, a state-of-art revision of advanced treatment technology for removing Triclosan (TCS) from waste water was ...
Anfruns Bagaria, Alba (Date of defense: 2011-11-25)
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are one of the main groups of odour causing compounds in Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP). Adsorption technology is already established, in recent years the interest for the optimization ...
Juan García, Pau (Date of defense: 2019-02-04)
The water sector is entering a period of uncertainty, as stressors such as climate change pose unknown risks to its infrastructure. Utilities need to build resilience to handle unpredictable changes, but the field of ...
