This study aims to evaluate the effect of factors influencing the performance of a small-scale operating wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) integrating anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and biofilters with temperature fluctuations in the psychrophilic–mesophilic range. Over nine months of monitoring, the overall removal efficiencies for total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD), soluble chemical oxygen demand, particulate chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, ammonia nitrogen (NH3–N), and phosphorus […]

Various Authors (2010) Phosphorus Shortage: European challenges in Brussels, Belgium Conference materials

The threatening shortage of phosphorus – a key component of fertilisers – is crucial for the world’s food supplies. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for all plants and animals. It is also one of the three key components (together with nitrogen and potassium) of fertilisers, and therefore crucial for the world’s food supply system. Phosphorus shortage will be one of the most pressing problems of […]

Various Authors (2012) Economic feasibility within SANIRESCH Project

Comparing the costs for SANIRESCH with today´s costs for conventional wastewater treatment and standard commercial fertiliser, the alternative system is more expensive for both “Office building” and “Agricultural application”. However, the sensitivity analyses show that a certain potential exists. The differences come especially through the higher running costs, which influence is bigger than the higher investment costs. However, the sensitivity analyses show that a certain […]

A study of physical, chemical and biological descriptors of the water in the storage réservoir of a combined stabilization pond (Ben Slimane, Morocco), during maturation, showed an improvement of the purification output for some variables after 36 days of rétention. Such an environment, rich with a range of différent nutrients, allowed an optimal development of plankton characterized by a high species diversity that decreased with […]

"Use of urine" is the thematic topic of the third issue of Sustainable Sanitation Practice (SSP). If urine is collected separately, treated and converted to agricultural usage, the biggest step towards nutrient reuse and highly efficient water protection is taken. Issue 3 contains the following articles: Opening minds and closing loops – productive sanitation initiatives in Burkina Faso and Niger Dagerskog, L., Bonzi, M. The link between food […]
