      Weerasooriya, Achini (Master thesis, 2015-10-09)
      Sewage treatment is the process which removes majority of the contaminants from a sewage stream and produces a liquid effluent suitable for safe disposal into the natural environment and sludge. Physical, chemical and ...
    • Simulation of manure resource recovery plant 

      Hussain, Shahid (Master thesis, 2015-09-18)
      The Bio Win software was used to simulate manure feeding to a separator, anaerobic digester (AD) and activated sludge (AS) nitrification reactor system. The General Bio Win model called integrated AS/AD model was capable ...
    • Spredning og antenning av hydrogen - Background Oriented Schlieren (BOS) visualisering 

      Jørgensen, Espen (Master thesis, 2007)
