The combined SHARON-Anammox process for treating wastewater streams with high ammonia concentration is discussed. Partial nitritation in the SHARON reactor should be performed to such an extent that an Anammox-optimal nitrite:ammonium ratio is generated. The SHARON process is typically applied to sludge digestion rejection water in order to relieve the ammonium load recycled to the main plant.A simulation study for realistic influent conditions on a SHARON reactor with a fixed volume and operated with constant air flow rate reveals that the actual nitrite:ammonium ratio might deviate significantly from the ideal ratio and might endanger operation of the subsequent Anammox reactor. It is further examined how the nitrite:ammonium ratio might be optimized. A cascade pH control strategy and a cascade O2 control strategy are tested. Simulation results are presented and the performance of the different strategies is assessed and quantified in an economic way by means of an operating cost index. Best results are obtained by means of cascade feedback control of the SHARON effluent nitrite:ammonium ratio through setting an O2-set-point that is tracked by adjusting the air flow rate.

ABSTRACT Leachate has complex characteristics, and it is commonly processed biologically in the Leachate Treatment Plant (IPL) in Indonesia. However, as the landfill ages, the leachate becomes less biodegradable. An appropriate technique is needed to treat leachate at IPL, and one of the promising methods is advanced oxidation with O3/H2O2. This study examined the effect of air flow rate on the concentration of residual ozone (KSO) and its efficiency to remove organic compounds using the O3/H2O2 process. Leachate samples were collected as grab samples from TPA Sarimukti Bandung. As much as 1 L of leachate samples were placed in an ozone contactor equipped with a filter disc with a pore size of 100-160 µm. The dose of H2O2 was continuously added to 1.197 g/L. Compressor was used to provide airflow with variations of 2, 3, and 4 L/min. Dissolved Oxygen (DO) was measured to determine the concentration of residual ozone (KSO) and validated by examining KSO measurements with the Indigo colorimetric method. A strong relationship between KSO and DO (R2 = 0.99) was observed at an airflow rate of 4 L/min. The highest ozone mass transfer coefficient (KLa,O3) was recorded at a 4 L/minute flow rate with 0.0022 min-1 at 27 °C.  The best removal efficiency has occurred at the fastest air flow rate (4 L/min) with COD, and UV254 removal was 88.89% and 14.87%, respectively. Keywords: DO, flow variation, KSO, leachate, O3/H2O2, organic, mass transfer   ABSTRAK Karakteristik lindi sangatlah kompleks dan di Indonesia, Instalasi Pengolahan Lindi (IPL) pada umumnya menggunakan sistem pengolahan biologis. Namun demikian, seiring dengan pertambahan umur urugan sampah, lindi semakin tidak biodegradable. Teknik pengolahan tepat diperlukan untuk mengolah lindi di IPL. Salah satu teknik yang sering digunakan adalah oksidasi lanjut dengan O3/H2O2 dengan mentransferkan gas ozon ke dalam air lindi yang diukur sebagai Konsentrasi Sisa Ozon (KSO) dan menambahkan H2O2 untuk meningkatkan pembentukan OH? di dalam air.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh laju aliran udara terhadap KSO serta pengaruhnya terhadap efisiensi penyisihan senyawa organik pada proses O3/H2O2. Sampel lindi diambil secara grab sampling dari TPA Sarimukti Bandung. Sebanyak 1 L sampel ditempatkan pada kontaktor ozon yang dilengkapi filter disc dengan pori berukuran 100-160µm. Dosis H2O2 yang diberikan tetap sebesar 1,197 g/L. Udara dialirkan dengan air compressor dengan variasi debit udara 2, 3, dan 4 L/menit. Pada penelitian ini, pengukuran Dissolved Oxygen (DO) digunakan sebagai pendekatan untuk mengukur KSO. Validasi dilakukan dengan meneliti hubungan antara KSO dan DO dan pengukuran KSO dilakukan dengan metode indigo colorimetric method.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan KSO dan DO memiliki hubungan yang kuat (R2 = 0,99) pada variasi aliran udara 4 L/menit. Laju aliran udara tercepat terjadi ketika nilai koefisien transfer masa ozon (KLa,O3) mencapai nilai tertinggi (0,0022 menit-1) pada suhu 27 oC. Hasil penelitian membuktikan efisiensi penyisihan COD (88,89%) dan UV254 (14,87%) tertinggi terjadi pada laju aliran udara tercepat selama 180 menit. Kata kunci: DO, aliran udara KSO, lindi, O3/H2O2, organik, transfer masa

Abstract PEMFC needs to be maintained at an appropriate temperature and humidity in a rapidly changing environment for automobile applications. In this study, a pseudo-multi-dimensional dynamic model for predicting the heat and mass transfer performance of a plate-and-frame membrane humidifier for PEMFC vehicles is developed. Based on the developed model, the variations in the temperature and relative humidity at the dry air outlet are investigated according to the air flow acceleration. Moreover, the dynamic response is analyzed as a function of the amplitude and period of the sinusoidal air flow rate at actual operating conditions. The effects of heat transfer on the dynamic response are more dominant than those of mass transfer. The settling time of the temperature and relative humidity at the dry air outlet decrease with the increase in air flow acceleration. In addition, the variations in the temperature and relative humidity at the dry air outlet increase with the increases in the amplitude and period of the sinusoidal air flow rate.

Timber roof constructions are commonly ventilated through an air cavity beneath the roof sheathing in order to remove heat and moisture from the construction. The driving forces for this ventilation are wind pressure and thermal buoyancy. The wind driven ventilation has been studied extensively, while models for predicting buoyant flow are less developed. In the present study, a novel analytical model is presented to predict the air flow caused by thermal buoyancy in a ventilated roof construction. The model provides means to calculate the cavity Rayleigh number for the roof construction, which is then correlated with the air flow rate. The model predictions are compared to the results of an experimental and a numerical study examining the effect of different cavity designs and inclinations on the air flow rate in a ventilated roof subjected to varying heat loads. Over 80 different test set-ups, the analytical model was found to replicate both experimental and numerical results within an acceptable margin. The effect of an increased total roof height, air cavity height and solar heat load for a given construction is an increased air flow rate through the air cavity. On average, the analytical model predicts a 3% higher air flow rate than found in the numerical study, and a 20% lower air flow rate than found in the experimental study, for comparable test set-ups. The model provided can be used to predict the air flow rate in cavities of varying design, and to quantify the impact of suggested roof design changes. The result can be used as a basis for estimating the moisture safety of a roof construction.
