Microalgae-bacterial biomass outperforms PN-anammox biomass for oxygen saving i...
Santorio, Sergio; Rio, Angeles Val del; Amorim, Catarina L.; Couto, Ana T.; Arregui, Luz; Castro, Paula M. L.; Mosquera-Corral, AnuskaThe dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in water streams is one of the most important and critical quality parameters in aquaculture farms. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of two Continuous Flow Granular Reactors, one based on Partial Nitrification-Anammox biomass (Aquammox CFGR) and the other on Microalgae-Bacteria biomass (AquaMab CFGR), for improving dissolved oxygen availabili...
Wastewater valorization: practice around the world at pilot-and full-scale
Duque, Anouk F.; Campo, Riccardo; Rio, Angeles Val del; Amorim, Catarina L.Over the last few years, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been rebranded as water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), which recognize the resource recovery potential that exists in wastewater streams. WRRFs contribute to a circular economy by not only producing clean water but by recovering valuable resources such as nutrients, energy, and other bio-based materials. To this aim, huge efforts in techno...
Sequencing versus continuous granular sludge reactor for the treatment of fresh...
Santorio, Sergio; Couto, Ana T.; Amorim, Catarina L.; Rio, Angeles Val del; Arregui, Luz; Mosquera-Corral, Anuska; Castro, Paula M. L.Ammonium and nitrite levels in water are crucial for fish health preservation and growth maintenance in freshwater aquaculture farms, limiting water recirculation. The aim of the present work was the evaluation and comparison of two granular sludge reactors which were operated to treat freshwater aquaculture streams at laboratory-scale: an Aerobic Granular Sludge - Sequencing Batch Reactor (AGS-SBR) and a Conti...

Monitoring morphological changes of suspended sludge during aerobic granulation...
Silva, Sérgio Alves; Rio, Angeles Val del; Alves, M. M.; Mesquita, D. P.Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology depends on the growth of a self immobilizing microbial community to form granules, typically achieved through environmental and operational selective pressures. Long star-up periods and granules stability in long-term operation are described as the main drawbacks of this technology. During granulation, it is expected that most of the sludge achieve a granular form howeve...
