Using treated and disinfected wastewater to grow biofuel plants on barren lands
The discharge of treated and disinfected wastewater from municipal and private treatment plants to receiving waters, be they groundwater or surface waters, is increasingly unacceptable due to the presence of man-made chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The use of wastewater to grow ...

Algal biofuels from wastewater treatment high rate algal ponds
This paper examines the potential of algae biofuel production in conjunction with wastewater treatment. Current technology for algal wastewater treatment uses facultative ponds, however, these ponds have low productivity (∼10 tonnes/ha.y), are not amenable to cultivating single algal species, require chemical flocculation or other expensive processes for algal harvest, and do not provide ...

Water-saving analysis on an effective water reuse system in biodiesel feedstock production based on
Chlorella zofingiensis fed-batch cultivationThe micralgae-based biofuel obtained from dairy wastewater (DWW) is considered a promising source of energy. However, this process consumes water due to the concentration of wastewater being normally too high for some micoralgae cultivation, and dilution is always needed. In this work, the cultivation of microalgae has been examined in non-recirculated water (NR) and recirculated water systems ...

Masdar Institutes integrated innovation in water and energy
Masdar City, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is a ‘living laboratory’, in the words of Professor Taha Ouarda. ‘It is a pioneering experiment whose lessons and results need to be used to duplicate the experiment in other places,’ he adds. This need is due to the focus of the experiment. ‘The elements most important in this region are water and energy,’ ...
