The Impact of Mechanically-Imposed Shear on Clogging, Fouling and Energy Demand for an Immersed Membrane Bioreactor. [PDF]
Membranes (Basel), 2018 The impact of the application of mechanically-imposed shear on the propensity for fouling and clogging (or “sludging”—the agglomeration of sludge solids in the membrane channel) of an immersed flat sheet (iFS) membrane bioreactor (MBR) was studied.

From Dark Patterns to Digital Sludging : Mapping the Ethical Debate on Controversial Persuasive System Design [PDF]
, 2022 Guiding individual decision-making in digital environments through persuasive system design (PSD) is a powerful tool. While some forms of PSD such as digital nudging are based on libertarian paternalism and mostly considered ethically acceptable, other ...

Digital microscopic image application (DMIA), an automatic method for particle size distribution analysis in waste activated sludge [PDF]
Water Science and Technology, 2021 AbstractAn important physical property in environmental samples is particle size distribution. Several processes exist to measure particle diameter, including change in electrical resistance, blocking of light, the fractionation of field flow and laser diffraction (these being the most commonly used).

Environment International, 2019 Anammox granular sludge system is a promising biotechnology for nitrogen removal from wastewaters. The anammox granules possess the distinctive morphological features which can be developed as visible indicators for anammox process monitoring. In this study, the surface convexity of anammox granular sludge (AnGS) was systematically investigated for the
