Optimization of the aerobic granular sludge process for sustainable wastewater treatment
This doctoral research concerns domestic wastewater treatment with aerobic granular sludge, which needs 75% less space 30% less energy compared to conventional systems. The objectives are
- optimization of effluent quality, energy consumption and costs
- application of off-gas analyses for process monitoring and control
- minimization of greenhouse gas emissions
via mathematical modelling, full-scale monitoring and lab-scale experiments.
