Municipal sludge minimization: evaluation of ultrasonic and acidic pretreatment methods and their subsequent effects on anaerobic digestion
Apul, Onur Güven; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2009)
Sludge management is one of the most difficult and expensive problems in wastewater treatment plant operation. Consequently, ‘sludge minimization’ concept arose to solve the excess sludge production by sludge pretreatment. Sludge pretreatment converts the waste sludge into a more bioavailable substrate for anaerobic digestion and leads to an enhanced degradation. The enhanced degradation results in more organic reduction and more biogas production. Therefore, sludge pretreatment is a means of improving slud...
Comparison of iscst3 and aermod air dispersion models: case study of cayirhan thermal power plant
Dölek, Emre; Atımtay, Aysel; Department of Environmental Engineering (2007)
In this study, emission inventory was prepared and pollutant dispersion studies were carried out for the area around Çayırhan Thermal Power Plant to determine the effects of the plant on the environment. Stack gas measurement results were used for the emissions from the power plant and emission factors were used for calculating the emissions from residential sources and coal stockpiles in the study region. Ground level concentrations of SO2, NOx and PM10 were estimated by using EPA approved dispersion model...

Investigation of the spatial relationship of municipal solid waste generation in Turkey with socio-economic, demographic and climatic factors
Keser, Saniye; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2010)
This thesis investigates the significant factors affecting municipal solid waste (MSW) generation in Turkey. For this purpose, both spatial and non-spatial tech¬niques are utilized. Non-spatial technique is ordinary least squares (OLS) regression while spatial techniques employed are simultaneous spatial autoregression (SAR) and geographically weighted regression (GWR). The independent variables include socio-economic, demographic and climatic indicators. The results show that nearer provinces tend to have ...
Modeling the water quality in Ulubat Lake
Yenilmez, Firdes; Aksoy, Ayşegül; Department of Environmental Engineering (2007)
Lakes can be used for recreational purposes, agricultural irrigation, domestic water supply or industrial use. However, these functions of the lakes can be impaired due to excess nutrient loadings from industrial facilities, agricultural activities, and discharge of wastewaters from sewage systems. Uluabat Lake is one of the important lakes in Turkey faced with water quality problems due to excess nutrient loading from point and non-point sources. In this study, Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WA...
