  • Re-Examining the Role of Nuclear Fusion in a Renewables-Based Energy Mix
    Re-examining the Role of Nuclear Fusion in a Renewables-Based Energy Mix T. E. G. Nicholasa,∗, T. P. Davisb, F. Federicia, J. E. Lelandc, B. S. Patela, C. Vincentd, S. H. Warda a York Plasma Institute, Department of Physics, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD, UK b Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PH c Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, L69 3GJ, UK d Centre for Advanced Instrumentation, Department of Physics, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LS, UK Abstract Fusion energy is often regarded as a long-term solution to the world's energy needs. However, even after solving the critical research challenges, engineer- ing and materials science will still impose significant constraints on the char- acteristics of a fusion power plant. Meanwhile, the global energy grid must transition to low-carbon sources by 2050 to prevent the worst effects of climate change. We review three factors affecting fusion's future trajectory: (1) the sig- nificant drop in the price of renewable energy, (2) the intermittency of renewable sources and implications for future energy grids, and (3) the recent proposition of intermediate-level nuclear waste as a product of fusion. Within the scenario assumed by our premises, we find that while there remains a clear motivation to develop fusion power plants, this motivation is likely weakened by the time they become available. We also conclude that most current fusion reactor designs do not take these factors into account and, to increase market penetration, fu- sion research should consider relaxed nuclear waste design criteria, raw material availability constraints and load-following designs with pulsed operation.

Received 31 December 2012; accepted 16 June 2013 Abstract: Anaerobic wastewater treatment is receiving renewed interest because it offers a means to treat wastewater with lower energy investment. Because the microorganisms involved grow more slowly, such systems require clever design so that the microbes have sufficient time with the substrate to complete treatment without requiring enormous reactor volumes. The anaerobic baffled reactor has inherent advantages over single compartment reactors due to its circulation pattern that approaches a plug flow reactor. The physical configuration of the anaerobic baffled reactor enables significant modifications to be made; resulting in a reactor which is proficient of treating complex wastewaters which presently require only one unit, ultimately significant reducing capital costs. This paper also concerns about mechanism, kinetic and hydrodynamic studies of anaerobic digestion for future application of the anaerobic baffled reactor for wastewater treatment. Keywords: Anaerobic baffled reactor • Anaerobic digestion • Industrial wastewater • Wastewater treatment • Mechanism; Microorganisms © Versita sp. z o.o. 1.

  • Influence of the Hybrid Sewage Treatment Plant's Exploitation on Its
    sustainability Article Influence of the Hybrid Sewage Treatment Plant’s Exploitation on Its Operation Effectiveness in Rural Areas Andrzej Wał˛ega,Krzysztof Chmielowski and Dariusz Mły ´nski* Department of Sanitary Engineering and Water Management, University of Agriculture in Krakow, 31-120 Krakow, Poland; [email protected] (A.W.); [email protected] (K.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-12-662-4041 Received: 9 July 2018; Accepted: 30 July 2018; Published: 1 August 2018 Abstract: The article evaluates the effectiveness of the removal of organic pollutants—nitrogen and phosphorus—from household sewage in a hybrid bioreactor with a submerged fixed bed. The experiment was carried out in two exploitation variants that were both conducted in a laboratory model of the hybrid bioreactor: (I) cycles of 120 min of aeration and 60 min of no aeration with a constant sewage dosage, and (II) cycles 60 min of aeration and 60 min of no aeration, with a periodic sewage dosage in the no-aeration phase. The experiment was carried out on real sewage primarily treated in a septic tank. The amount of pollution removal was calculated and compared with the mandatory standards according to Polish law. Moreover, the susceptibility of the sewage to the biological treatment, nitrification, and denitrification activity was determined. The research shows a higher effectiveness for the 60/60 model in comparison to the 120/60 model. High operation efficiency was observed regarding the removal of organic pollution and nitrate nitrogen. The tested structure showed very low nitrification activity combined with intense denitrification.

  • Treatment of Sago Wastewater Using Hybrid Anaerobic Reactor
    Water Qual. Res. J. Canada, 2006 • Volume 41, No. 1, 56–62 Copyright © 2006, CAWQ Treatment of Sago Wastewater Using Hybrid Anaerobic Reactor J. Rajesh Banu,1 Sudalyandi Kaliappan1* and Dieter Beck2 1Centre for Environmental Studies (CES), Anna University, Chennai – 600025, Tamilnadu State, India 2Indo-German Project, Centre for Environmental Studies, Freiheits Str. 195, 42853 Remscheid, Germany Sago, tapioca starch, is manufactured by over 800 small-scale units located in the Salem district of the State of Tamilnadu, South India. These units generate large quantities of high-strength wastewater requiring elaborate treatment prior to dis- posal. The present study is an attempt to treat the sago wastewater using a hybrid reactor, which combines the advantages of both fixed-film and up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket systems. A hybrid reactor with a volume of 5.9 L was operated at organic loading rates varying from 10.4 to 24.6 kg COD/m3d. After 120 d of start-up, an appreciable decrease in COD and efficient removal of solids were evident. The COD removal varied from 91 to 83%. While the removal of total solids was in the range of 56 to 63%, that of volatile solids varied from 67 to 72%. The methane production during the study period was in the range of 0.11 to 0.14 L CH4/g COD-d and the percentage was from 55 to 67%. The ideal organic loading rate (OLR) was determined on the basis of tolerance of the reactor towards higher organic loading rate and it was found to be 23.4 kg COD/m3d.

  • Pennsylvania Sewage Treatment Plants
    Electric Use at Pennsylvania Sewage Treatment Plants March 2011 Table of Contents Page Number Introduction …………………………………………………………………..…... 3 WWTP Efficiency Baseline Calculator.......................................................... 6 Hydraulic & Organic Loading ………………………………………………….. 10 Aeration Systems …………………………………...……………………………13 Now What? The Next Steps.……………………………..………………..….. 17 Appendices Appendix A: Survey Data Appendix B: WWTP Energy Use Survey Appendix C: Manual WWTP Efficiency Baseline Calculator Appendix D: Resources Acknowledgements: Thanks to those who provided information for this report. 2 This report provides wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators and managers with the tools to evaluate and reduce electric consumption while improving operation and efficiency of treatment plants. Included are instructions to calculate and compare plant electric efficiency values as well as an overview of various attributes of Commonwealth WWTPs. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) requested information from Pennsylvania WWTPs in conjunction with energy management training classes developed and presented by the Department. The WWTP Energy Use Survey form1 (Survey) was used to collect specific information such as treatment type and unit processes, design and actual loadings, effluent limits and electric use and costs. The fundamental objective of the data collection effort was to establish electric use benchmarks for WWTPs in Pennsylvania. An energy use benchmark is a valuable tool to track energy performance, target specific energy efficiency upgrades and evaluate the success of energy efficiency projects. Survey forms were received from 133 plants representing 12% of the approximate 1,123 municipal WWTPs in the state. WWTPs that returned the survey have a combined total of 635 MGD design flow and 445 MGD reported flow and total design organic loading of 1,004,448 lb/day BOD and reported total BOD loading of 512,344 lb/day.
