Analysis of the Antibiotic Ampicillin in Activated Sludge: Method Development and Adsorption Studies
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)The presence of antibiotics in wastewater treatment plants is a concern, both because of potential release to natural water systems, and connected to the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. In this thesis, the focus is ... -
The application of digital image analysis to quantify histological pathological changes in Mytilus edulis from the Water Column Monitoring program
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)Use of histopathology to identify changes in marine species in response to contaminants is a long-known practice. The suitability of histopathological biological markers in the assessment of marine environment quality ... -
Current wastewater treatment methods and emerging technologies with a focus on removal of pharmaceuticals.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06)The global consumption of pharmaceuticals is increasing, and in recent years there has been a growing concern surrounding the release of pharmaceuticals to the environment. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) have been ... -
Faunal and Microbial Sediment Community Disturbances Caused by Organic and Inorganic Contamination
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)There are ongoing developments to enable treatment of oil based drill cuttings with subsequent deposition offshore rather than the current practice to transport and treat such material on land. A sample from a step in the ... -
Investigating phosphate release from EBPR sludge and associated possibility of controlled struvite precipitation at SNJ wastewater treatment plant
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The main treatment stage at SNJ Wastewater Treatment Plant was recently upgraded from chemical treatment to mechanical-biological treatment with Enhanced Biological Phosphorous Removal (EBPR). The implementation of EBPR ... -
Reliability of a conductivity controlled slurry doser
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)Anthropogenic emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides cause acid rain giving acidic waters. Moreover, the bedrock in the southern parts of Norway provides no or little buffer capacity. This combination has caused fish ... -
Removal of antibiotic resistant genes in wastewater treatment plants
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-28)Antibiotic resistance has been regarded as a growing international problem, due to extensive overuse of antibiotics has led to untreatable infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB). Wastewater treatment ... -
Review and evaluation of techno-economic and environmental simulation tools to address CO2 transport within CCS value chain
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-15)Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an important solution to meeting climate targets set by United Nations and can potentially reduce 15 % of CO2 emissions globally. CCS has been studied for over 20 years. However, its ... -
Struvite formation and dewaterability of digested wastewater sludge from IVAR - SNJ
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06-15)Controlled struvite formation in digested sludge from IVARs main wastewater treatment plant “Sentralrenseanlegg Nord-Jæren (SNJ) was investigated as a way to improve the dewaterability of the sludge. Improving dewaterability ... -
Transitioning from mesophilic to thermophilic anaerobic digestion at VEAS and the influence of co-digesting primary sludge with potato-stillage
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06)Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a microbial degradation process in the absence of oxygen by several complex biological reactions where polymeric organic carbon compounds are transformed into biogas and potential biofertilizer. ...
