Spread of Antibiotic Resistant Genes in Wastewater
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The spread of antibiotic resistant genes is of great public health concern. Wastewater treatment plants have been identified as a possible reservoir for these genes. This review gives an overview on the spread of antibiotic ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Phosphorus retention in a mature constructed wetland under base flow and storm flow conditions
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2018;, Master thesis, 2018-06)The main objective was to monitor a mature constructed wetland, Leikvollbekken, with respect to phosphorus retention, both over long term and during short storm events. The hypothesis was that the wetland would have a ... -
