Pilot Experimentation with Complete Mixing Anoxic Reactors to Improve Sewage Denitrification in Treatment Plants in Small Communities

Raboni, Massimo; Torretta, Vincenzo; Viotti, Paolo; … - In: Sustainability 6 (2013) 1, pp. 112-122

This paper reports the results of two sewage treatment tests in a community of 15,000 inhabitants. The sewage treatment plant is subject to strong fluctuations in load (BOD<sub>5</sub>, COD, TKN), and in particular in the BOD<sub>5</sub>/TKN ratio. These fluctuations adversely affect the biological denitrification,...

A new method of robust linear regression analysis: some monte carlo experiments

Mishra, SK - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008

This paper elaborates on the deleterious effects of outliers and corruption of dataset on estimation of linear regression coefficients by the Ordinary Least Squares method. Motivated to ameliorate the estimation procedure, we have introduced the robust regression estimators based on Campbell’s...

Design procedure of an innovative turbine with rotors rotating in opposite directions for the exploitation of the tidal currents

Barbarelli, S.; Florio, G.; Amelio, M.; Scornaienchi, N.M. - In: Energy 77 (2014) C, pp. 254-264

In this work an innovative on-shore marine turbine has been deployed. The peculiarity is the anchoring system, consisting in a rope subjected only to a tensile stress, a central deflector, responsible of the equilibrium in the horizontal plane, and a floating stabilizer, keeping the machine in...

Characterization of different heat transfer fluids and degradation study by using a pilot plant device operating at real conditions

López-González, D.; Valverde, J.L.; Sánchez, P.; … - In: Energy 54 (2013) C, pp. 240-250

A pilot plant was designed to evaluate the degradation of (heat transfer fluids) HTF for their application in … Nannochloropsis gaditana microalgae (NG oil). Mobiltherm 605 was selected for tuning the pilot plant due to its similarity to HTFs … HTF behaviour in the pilot plant. A mathematical model for the estimation of the most representative parameters (viscosity …

On-grid and off-grid batch-ED (electrodialysis) process: Simulation and experimental tests

Uche, J.; Círez, F.; Bayod, A.A.; Martínez, A. - In: Energy 57 (2013) C, pp. 44-54

A sustainable solution to provide fresh drinking water was studied in this paper. A very small batch-ED (electrodialysis) unit fed by a PV (photovoltaic) array was tested to desalt brackish water. The main novelty in the PV generator proposal is its flexibility to change the operating conditions...

Thermal behaviour of d-mannitol when used as PCM: Comparison of results obtained by DSC and in a thermal energy storage unit at pilot plant scale

Gil, Antoni; Barreneche, Camila; Moreno, Pere; Solé, … - In: Applied Energy 111 (2013) C, pp. 1107-1113

The use of thermal energy storage (TES) systems for solar heating and cooling applications has received considerable attention in recent decades because it has a high potential in energy savings. Phase change materials (PCMs) can store large amount of energy per mass unit compared with other TES...
