Managing dairy excreta as slurry can result in significant emissions of ammonia (NH3) and greenhouse gases (GHGs) during storage and thereafter. Additionally, slurry often has an imbalanced nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (P) ratio for crop fertilization. While various treatments exist to address emissions …

Associate lector Carolien Kattenbelt en onderzoeker Ronald van Buuren van het lectoraat Balanced Energy Systems verzorgden op 12 februari 2025 de aftrap van de SEECE Masterclass Netcongestie bij Connectr op Industriepark Kleefse Waard (IPKW).

Living Labs are ‘open innovation ecosystems’, offering unique opportunities for conducting scientific experiments ‘in the wild’. Yet, Living Labs also support the generation of other, informal, types of knowledge: often tacit and difficult to capture and share, acquired outside of rigorous academic research …

Bedrijven worden door overheid, maar ook medewerkers, klanten en andere stakeholders in toenemende mate geacht verantwoordelijkheid te nemen in het oplossen van maatschappelijke en sociale problematiek. Voor veel ondernemende families is het zo vanzelfsprekend om bij te dragen aan oplossingen voor maatschappelijke …

Understanding sludge rheology and optimizing equipment performance is crucial for energy efficiency in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This study examined sludge rheology after thermal hydrolysis pretreatment (THP) at 60, 80, and 120 ◦C for 2 h, followed by anaerobic digestion (AD) at 37 ◦C for …

Energy conservation is crucial in wireless ad hoc sensor network design to increase network lifetime. Since communication consumes a major part of the energy used by a sensor node, efficient communication is important. Topology control aims at achieving more efficient communication by dropping links …

Source Segregation (SS) is a novel strategy in dairy housing that can reduce emissions and separate organic matter and nutrients more efficiently than traditional slurry solid-liquid separation. The anaerobic digestion (AD) methane yield of the SS fractions, however, is unknown. We aimed at unveiling …
