Summary Constructed wetlands have been used for decades on industrial areas to treat stormwater. European regulations and local ambitions for water quality dictate lower emissions before the water is discharged to the drainage system, surface water or infiltrated to ground water. The increase in the …

In the Province of Zeeland, ragworms (Alitta virens) are farmed on large scale in open rectangular (flow through systems) ponds. In April these ponds are stocked with ragworm larvae from a hatchery. The juveniles bury themselves in the sediment layer in the pond and are fed with feed pellets. Dependent …

It is widely understood that biofouling is an obstacle to water treatment processes, therefore, tailored cleaning strategies are needed to increase removal efficiency. This research inquired into the swelling behaviour at the equilibrium states of target biofilm models made from alginate -like exopolymers …

This paper describes the development of one solid phase extraction method for a wide group of pharmaceutical and industrial compounds in wastewater that is analyzed with two LC-MS/MS methods.

Gastcollege "practical monitoring of quantity and quality issues" op universiteit ITS te Surabaya, waarmee de Hanzehogeschool Groningen en de Hogeschool Rotterdam gezamenlijk projecten uitvoeren in Indonesië, waarbij kennis wordt uitgewisseld omtrent klimaatadaptatie in steden.

A lot of industries in the world use water and produce waste, and with limited water resources and an increasing population, industrial development has grown, putting even more stress on resources. This issue of concern has been recognized and efforts into conserving these precious resources has been …

In this report, the further optimization of the PMI method is investigated and the possibility to act as an alternative method for the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in wastewater is discussed. In this study the oxidation efficiency of the PMI method is improved by optimizing the oxidation time, concentration …

Direct emissions of emerging and well known contaminants via industrial wastewater treatment plants (IWTPs) considerably impact Dutch surface water concentrations with vulnerable drinking water functions. In this nationwide impact study, the impact of 182 Dutch IWTPs was modelled, whilst taking geographic …

During experimental research for the RINEW project at the pilot location of Evides Industriewater in Rotterdam, the utilization of tubular ceramic nano- and microfiltration membranes in a municipal wastewater treatment system was analyzed with regard to specific aspects of membrane technology. These …

Climate change and urbanization will increase the frequency and magnitude of urban flooding and water quality problems in many regions of the world. In coastal and delta areas like The Netherlands and the Philippines, where urbanization is often high, there has been an increase in the adoption of sustainable …
