Assessment of slaughterhouse wastewater treatment by using intermittently-aerated sequencing batch reactors (IASBRs)
(2013-10-16)A large amount of slaughterhouse wastewater is generated during meat product manufacturing due to the cleaning process. It contains high concentrations of organic matter, oil and grease, and nitrogenous compounds (proteins ... -
Linking soil pH and phosphorus management to potential N2O emissions and nitrogen cycling microbial communities
(NUI Galway, 2022-08-15)Greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere create the greenhouse gas effect, which allows maintenance of global temperatures. However, anthropogenic production of GHGs has caused dramatic increases of GHGs in the ... -
Removal of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater using a novel biofilm reactor
(2011-08-08)During this research study, a pumped flow biofilm reactor (PFBR) technology developed at NUI Galway for decentralised wastewater treatment was examined at laboratory scale and field scale. The PFBR technology comprised two ... -
Treatment of Pig Manure Digestate Liquid and Study of Nitrous Oxide Emissions From Bioreactors
(2012-04-27)Large amounts of pig manure containing high concentrations of nutrients are generated on pig farms. Anaerobic digestion is one of the sustainable technologies for pig manure management. However, most of the ammonium remains ...
