A strategy for adaptive control and energetic optimization of aerobic fermentors was implemented, with both air flow and agitation speed as manipulated variables. This strategy is separable in its components: control, optimization,... more
Environmental concerns, generated by the use of fossil fuels, has made countries look for energy-efficient alternatives in order to supply the energy demand in a sustainable way. In this context, wastes generated by agricultural and... more
This study considers the kinetics of snail shells demineralization process using acetic acid. It was washed, sundried then ground into four different particle sizes. The ranges of particle sizes are 6.3-4.75 mm, 4.75-2 mm, 2-1 mm, and... more
Most of the wastewater treatment systems in small rural communities of the Cova da Beira region (Portugal) consist of constructed wetlands (CW) with horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF). It is believed that those systems allow the compliance... more
Similarly to most of Mediterranean EU member states, Portugal regularly experience severe water supply and demand imbalances, particularly in the summer months. Tourism is a very important economic activity in Portugal and is pushing... more
A submerged biologicalaeratedfilter (BAF) partiallyaerated was used to study the removal of lowconcentrations of ammonia nitrogen (0.3 g N/m3 to 30.5 g N/m3) typically found in nutrient enriched river and lake waters, and treated... more
We present a numerical solution for the dead zone model which describes the solute transport in a subsurface and horizontal flow constructed wetland. This model is a system of two mass balance equations for two conceptual areas: the main... more
