Analysis of a pilot-scale anaerobic baffled reactor treating domestic wastewater.
(2009)This thesis presents a chemical, microbiological and mathematical analysis of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) treating domestic wastewater. The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the mechanisms of ... -
The development of a method for the inclusion of salinity effects into environmental life cycle assessments.
(2003)The work presented in this thesis stemmed out of the apparent lack of a method for incorporating salinity effects into environmental life cycle assessments. Salination of the water resources is a well-known problem in South ... -
An environmental life cycle assessment of the provision of recycled water in Durban.
(2006)This dissertation investigated the questions of sustainable development, in the context of water and sanitation provision, for the eThekwini Municipality. The Durban Water Recycling (DWR) plant, run by Veolia Water, was ... -
Evaluation of forward osmosis technology for the treatment of selected concentrated brines.
(2021)Abstract available in PDF. -
An integrated computational fluid dynamics an kinetics study of ozonation in water treatment.
(2005)Computational fluid dynamic (CFO) modelling has been applied to examine the operation of the prc-ozonation system at Wiggins Waterworks, operated by Umgeni Water in Durban, South Africa. Ozonation is employed in water ... -
An investigation of advanced oxidation processes in water treatment.
(2001)The deteriorating water quality in South Africa and changing legislation requiring the industrial implementation of waste minimisation and pollution prevention technologies has highlighted the need for the investigation ... -
Municipal wastewater characterization : application of denitrification batch tests.
(1999)The biological treatment of wastewater has evolved significantly from simple single sludge systems practicing organic carbon removal to ones which now include either nitrification/denitrification (N/DN) and / or phosphorus ... -
Performance studies of the tubular filter press.
(1992)The tubular filter press is a novel tubular configured filter press for the filtration or dewatering of sludges. The unique features of the filter press are: (i) during the cake deposition cycle, cake is deposited on ... -
The recovery of sodium hydroxide from cotton scouring effluents.
(1994)This dissertation describes the characterisation of, and development of a novel integrated waste management strategy for, hydroxide scouring effluents produced during cotton processing. Such effluents are typical of ... -
Scientific and management support for ventilated improved pit latrines (VIP) sludge content.
(2014)Providing adequate sanitation to all in the form of VIP latrines as proposed by the South African Government Strategic Framework for Water Services does not end with building toilets. All municipalities need to plan for ... -
Treatment of dye wastewaters in the anaerobic baffled reactor and characterisation of the associated microbial populations.
(2002)There is potential for the anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) to be implemented on-site for pre-treatment of coloured wastewaters. The implementation of waste minimisation and cleaner production strategies in industry ...
