Greenhouse gas reduction through innovative nitrogen removal from wastewater
This doctoral research project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (N2O, CH4 and CO2) during wastewater treatment by optimizing conventional nitrogen removal systems and by applying innovative nitrogen removal (anammox-based) technologies. The treatment of both high-strenght and lowstrength ammonium wastewaters is studied. The applied methodologies concerns a full-scale monitoring campaign, lab-scale experiments, mathematical modelling and simulation.
