Ten pilot scale trials were conducted under subtropical conditions using 2 microalgae strains (Chlorella sorokiniana and Chlorella sp). in 5 different cultivation system geometries: HRPs, flat panel PBRs (0.75 m and 1.5 m high) and tubular PBRs (0.74 m and 1.49 m high).
A fuller understanding of the impacts and performance of native macroalgae grown in dense large-scale cultures can only be achieved through pilot scale trials.
The process parameters of the up-flow biological activated carbon filter (UBACF) were optimized in a pilot-scale trial for controlling the precursor of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN), an emerging nitrogenous disinfection by-product.
The model predictions agreed well with the experimental data of the pilot-scale trial, demonstrating that the model developed from this study can explain the causes and conditions for the different bioprocesses and minimal sludge production in the SANI® process.
Individual granules from both lab and pilot-scale trials were examined.
Nevertheless, pilot-scale trials complemented with sensorial analysis of the produced wines are required for a full evaluation of our strain's potential for its application in the wine industry.
Pilot-scale trials at a domestic wastewater treatment works compared the performance of three grades of recycled glass (coarse, medium and fine) when used as tertiary filter media for total suspended solids removal (TSS).
Maintaining the carbon source levels at an optimum, in bioreactors, is an important parameter during pilot-scale trials and during the continuous production of biohydrogen.
We present here a description of recently concluded laboratory studies and a brief outline of ongoing pilot-scale trials, field challenges, regulatory issues, and further research needs.
A pilot scale field trial was conducted to evaluate the recovery of volatile, light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) using a novel remediation method termed supersaturated water injection (SWI).
To investigate morphine degradation and optimize turning frequency in opium poppy processing waste composting, a pilot scale windrow composting trial was run for 55 days.
