Municipal sludge has energy content in the range of (9,000-23,000 kJ/kg) depending upon the organic content. This entrapped energy can be transformed into heat and electrical energies by different technologies combining biological and thermal processes. Recently, the combination of advanced digestion and incineration or gasification was found to be advantageous for energy recovery. The energy balance was based upon a full-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) using conventional and advanced treatment configurations. In this respect, the unit electricity production from sludge was calculated to be in the range of 675-1,240 kWhE per tones of dry solids.

Energy production from yard wastes via one-stage and two-stage anaerobic digestion and investigation of pretreatment effect Kalaycıoğlu, Nihan Nur; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande; Department of Environmental Engineering (2020) Energy production from lignocellulosic biomass is receiving ever-increasing interest. This thesis study investigated the energy production from yard wastes, which is an abundant lignocellulosic substrate, via one-stage anaerobic digestion (OSAD) and two-stage anaerobic digestion (TSAD) of yard waste. The effect of pretreatment options (alkaline (AP), thermal (TP) and ultrasound (UP)) and initial solids concentration (2%, 5% and 8% total solids, TS) on hydrogen and methane production yields in OSAD and TSAD ...
Arıtma Çamurlarının Kurutulmasında Sera Tipi Kurutucular ve Güneş Panellerinin Birlikte Kullanımının Maliyetler Bazında İncelenmesi Kurt, Mayıs; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Sanin, Faika Dilek (2016-01-01) Çamurun kurutulması hem çamurun hacmini azaltarak depolama amaçlı hacim ihtiyacında hem de sızıntı suyu miktarında azalma sağlamaktadır. Çamurun ek yakıt ve tarımsal amaçlı kullanımı gibi yararlı kullanım yöntemleri ile değerlendirilmesi için çoğu kez kurutma gereklidir. Çamur kurutma yöntemleri genel olarak termal kurutma ve güneşle kurutma şeklinde değerlendirilmektedir. Termal kurutma, atıksu arıtma tesisi çamurunun kurutulup %90 katı madde oranına erişmesi için kullanılan geleneksel bir...
Evaluation of solar sludge drying alternatives on costs and area requirements Kurt, Mayıs; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2014) There are basically two common sludge drying methods, thermal drying and solar drying. While thermal drying requires high amount of energy, solar drying cannot typically attain the 90 % DS requirement. The literature studies emphasize the benefits of solar drying used as GSD (greenhouse solar dryer) to reduce energy requirement but these dryers cannot achieve 90 % DSC without any auxiliary heat. Therefore, use of solar panels as auxiliary heat source was evaluated in this study. To calculate how much energy...
Effects of ultrasound pretreatment and anaerobic digestion on the energy potential of sludge Çelebi, Emrehan Berkay; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2015) The by-product of wastewater treatment, sludge, is generated in tons everyday all around the world. As environmental regulations in Turkey are becoming stricter during the European Union adaptation period, the previously wide-spread disposal method of landfilling the sludge will not be applicable. Instead, dried sludge is expected to be used in revenue generating methods like land application or combustion. Combustion can be thought of as more beneficial as it uses sludge as an energy source. However, it is...
Interventions for Ensuring Thermal Comfort Equality in Apartment Buildings Dikmen, Nese; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; SÜMER HAYDARASLAN, Kübra (2017-01-01) Energy reduction is one of the goals of sustainability. Thermal comfort and sustainability refers to smart dealing with natural resources to be acceptable for people. In order to provide thermal comfort to occupants, it is necessary to prevent excessive thermal transfers from the building's envelope. To this end thermal insulation is provided and windows with low U values are installed in buildings. However, the orientation of living spaces in a building determines the amount of solar gains from the facades...
