El proyecto LIFE19 RENATURWAT será coordinado por el IIAMA-UPV y en él participa un consorcio integrado por EMIVASA, Global Omnium Medioambiente S.L., el Grupo de Economía del Agua de la UV, […]

Effect of polyethylene microplastics on activated sludge process – accumulation in the sludge and influence on the process and on biomass characteristics.

According to previous research, it has been proved that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can retain more than 90% of the MPs contained in wastewater. However, a significant fraction of the MPs removed in WWTPs is retained in the sludge floc and this may lead to an environmental issue since biosolids […]

Using ATP in Suspended Growth Wastewater Treatment Systems – What is the benefit?

By Jordan Schmidt. Suspended growth systems, such as activated sludge, are a very common form of secondary wastewater treatment. The potential to optimize and improve the operation of such treatment plants using ATP is tremendous. ATP can directly quantify active biomass, which is key to providing secondary treatment. Two of […]
