Exploring the Environmental Feasibility of Integrated Sanitation Systems for Uganda [PDF]
Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, 2019 In urban areas of Uganda, management of waste which consists of at least 70% organic content is accomplished by collection and disposal in landfills, resulting in emission of landfill gases among other impacts. Meanwhile, the limited number of wastewater

Feasibility of biological aerated filters (BAFs) for treating landfill leachate
, 2004 Ammonia can be removed from landfill leachate through aerobic biological processes. The biological aerated filter (BAF) combines biological treatment and subsequent biomass separation in one reactor providing a small footprint alternative to ...

Industrial Reuse of Water from Chemical Washing of Residual Frying Oil
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017 The residual frying oil (RFO) is part of one of the residues generated daily in homes, industries and public offices. Uncontrolled disposal of waste frying oils, in sinks or thrown directly into the water, entails a series of environmental damages, such ...

Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches
