  2. 1. A passage to wastewater nutrient recovery units : Microalgal-Bacterial bioreactors

    Author : Anbarasan Anbalagan; Jesus Zambrano; Sebastian Schwede; Carl-Fredrik Lindberg; Emma Nehrenheim; Francisco Gabriel Acién Fernández; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microalgae; Bacteria; Carbon; Nitrogen; Light; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : In recent years, the microalgal–bacterial process has been considered to be a very attractive engineering solution for wastewater treatment. However, it has not been widely studied in the context of conventional wastewater treatment design under Swedish conditions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Concepts for improving ethanol productivity from lignocellulosic materials : encapsulated yeast and membrane bioreactors

    Author : Päivi Ylitervo; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Encapsulated yeast; Biofuel; S. cerevisiae; Membrane bioreactors; Thermotolerance; Furfural; Acetic acid; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential feedstock for production of sugars, which can be fermented into ethanol. The work presented in this thesis proposes some solutions to overcome problems with suboptimal process performance due to elevated cultivation temperatures and inhibitors present during ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials.

  5. 3. Novel application of membrane bioreactors in lignocellulosic ethanol production : simultaneous saccharification, filtration and fermentation (SSFF)

    Author : Mofoluwake M. Ishola; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biofuel; Ethanol; Membrane bioreactors; High solids loading; Lignocellulose; Nigeria; Pretreatment; SSFF; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning; Resource Recovery;

    Abstract : Biofuels production and utilisation can reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, dependence on fossil fuels and also improve energy security. Ethanol is the most important biofuel in the transportation sector; however, its production from lignocelluloses faces some challenges. READ MORE

  6. 4. Interaction Analysis in Multivariable Control Systems : Applications to Bioreactors for Nitrogen Removal

    Author : Björn Halvarsson; Bengt Carlsson; Elling Jacobsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; activated sludge process; biological nitrogen removal; bioreactor models; control structure design; cost-efficient operation; decentralized control; interaction measures; minimum variance control; multivariable control; wastewater treatment; Automatic control; Reglerteknik; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot reglerteknik; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Automatic Control;

    Abstract : Many control systems of practical importance are multivariable. In such systems, each manipulated variable (input signal) may affect several controlled variables (output signals) causing interaction between the input/output loops. READ MORE

  7. 5. Probing Control : Analysis and Design with Application to Fed-Batch Bioreactors

    Author : Stéphane Velut; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Elektronik och elektroteknik; Electronics and Electrical technology; Large scale fermentations; Extremum control; Feeding strategy; Probing control; Fed-batch bioreactors; Automation; robotics; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

    Abstract : In most control problems the objective is to control the output at a desired value in spite of disturbances. In some cases, the best setpoint is not known a priori and it should be found online to optimize the process performance. This thesis examines a probing strategy that can be applied for this class of problems. READ MORE
