Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Diurnal Variation of Dissolved Oxygen in a Eutrophic Polymictic ReservoirAnusha BalangodaTo evaluate the diurnal and seasonal Dissolved Oxygen (DO) variations and their effects on water quality, a comprehensive study was conducted in a eutrophic polymictic reservoir under artificially aerated and non-aerated conditions. The effect of aeration among sampling locations and along the water column of DO and DO saturation and diurnal variation of DO, water temperature, pH and conductivity was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 24 Jan 2017 · 8,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConformal Mapping of Temperature Variation in Compost HeapJonah Chukwuemeka Agunwamba, Oji Achuka NwokeLaboratory in vessel trapezoidal compost system was designed and constructed. Temperature variation in the compost heap was measured for five days at various depths. Mathematical model for the variation of temperature of the composting process was developed using Conformal Mapping Technique. One of the parameters in the model had two distinct roots, one a positive root and the other negative … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 17 Jun 2016 · 7,347 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Two-Phase Liquid-Gas Flow on Permeate Flux through Ceramic MembranesTomáš Bakalár, Milan Búgel, Gabriel Müller, Štefan SaboThe impact of two-phase flow onto the flux of the permeate in microfiltration of two sorbents-Bentonite and Lewatit S1468-with and without adsorbed zinc, was examined. Two different types of membrane, single-and multi-channel, based on α-Al2O3, were used. In single-channel membrane application of aeration increased the permeate flux by 13 and 29% without adsorbed zinc and by 22 and 25% with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 10 Dec 2015 · 6,765 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Intermittent Artificial Circulation in Summer Months on Chlorophyll a Concentration in a Small Eutrophic ImpoundmentAnusha Balangoda, Shafiqur Rahman, G. PadmanabhanImpact of artificial circulation on total algal biomass (as chlorophyll a integrated over depth) in a small eutrophic impoundment in the Northern Great Plains, was monitored over three consecutive summers. Chlorophyll a concentration and nutrient concentrations were measured at depths along water columns under aerated and non-aerated conditions at four sampling locations. Aeration destratified the water column, which resulted in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 14 Nov 2015 · 7,303 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Pressure, Water Depth and Water Flow Rate on Oxygen Saturation Level in Activated Sludge ProcessNabil N. Atta, Amro A. Elbaz, Alhassan H. SakrProblem statement: The role of aeration in activated sludge process is to provide oxygen to microorganisms as they assimilate the organic carbon compounds and digest a portion of them to carbon dioxide and water, sulfate and nitrate compounds. The water aeration equipment used in this process consumes as much as 60-80% of total power requirements in modern wastewater treatment plants. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2011 · 8,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPores Reconfiguration in Compacted Bernam Series SoilZuraidah Yahya, Aminuddin Husin, Jamal Talib et al.Problem statement: The introduction of mechanization in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations resulted in soil compaction with increased bulk density and reduced porosity due to reconfiguration of soil pores. This could be a serious problem in the future as soil pores are important for aeration and water movement. Approach: This study was carried out to determine the effect of mechanization … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDemonstration Case of Petrochemical Wastewater Treatment PlantSaad Abualhail, Rusul Naseer, Xi-Wu LuProblem statement: The wastewater from petrochemical complex is varying in flow, organic contaminant loading and composition due to various operating condition of the petrochemical complex. This study is demonstration case of petrochemical wastewater treatment plant. Approach: This study is demonstration case on Basrah petrochemical wastewater treatment plant whereas the description of wastewater composition and system of treatment had reviewed and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectroosmotic Phenomena in Organic SoilsAfshin Asadi, Bujang B.K. Huat, M. M. Hassim et al.Organic soils or peat represent an accumulation of disintegrated plant remains which have been preserved under condition of incomplete aeration and high water content. In order to develop a fundamental understanding of electroosmotic phenomena in peat, initially microelectrophoresis studies were carried out to conceptualize the electrokinetic phenomena. Then electroosmosis experiments were conducted on rigid cube samples containing 0.0001 M NaCl-water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical and Physical Characteristics of Cocopeat-Based Media Mixtures and Their Effects on the Growth and Development of Celosia cristataYahya Awang, Anieza Shazmi Shaharom, Rosli B. Mohamad, Ahmad SelamatProblem statement: Cocopeat is considered as a good growing media component with acceptable pH, electrical conductivity and other chemical attributes but it has been recognized to have high water holding capacity which causes poor air-water relationship, leading to low aeration within the medium, thus affecting the oxygen diffusion to the roots. Incorporation of coarser materials into cocopeat could improve the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 19,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Three Bacteria Consortium for the Bioremediation of Crude Petroleum-oil in Contaminated WaterAbdualdaim Mohammed Mukred, Aidil Abd Hamid, Ainon Hamzah, Wan Mohtar Wan YusoffWe have to developed active microbial consortium that could be of higher degradation of crude oil contaminated groundwater, wastewater aeration pond and biopond at the oil refinery Terengganu Malaysia. Among four isolates that showed good growth only three different isolates (Acinetobacter faecalis WD2, Staphylococcus. sp DD3 and Neisseria elongate TDA4.) were selected based on the growth ability and degradation.
