Would it be Possible to Optimize a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant?
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 6 Operation of modern wastewater treatment facilities (in the following: WWTP) are to a very large extent based on different forms of biological treatment. Historically a number of activated sludge models have dominated the market. The model that originally was developed during the second decade of the 20th century is often addressed as a suspended growth system as a contrast to attached g...

Water Solar Electrolysis for Hydrogen Production: Electric Caracterisation
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 5 The hydrogen production by water electrolysis consumes electric power (much even). To make this process profitable, we exploited two parameters: the origin of the consumed current and the optimization of the power supply. Indeed, the current is renewable origin (photovoltaic). The connection in parallel of the electrolysers with the photovoltaic module made it possible to increase the pr...

The Influence of Tidal Currents on Coastal Erosion in a Tropical Micro-Tidal Environment – The Case of Columbus Bay, Trinidad
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 5 Trinidad as a Small Island Developing State (SID) has limited land resources which must be managed against the threat of coastal erosion. Columbus Bay, located on the southwestern peninsula of the island is negatively affected by high rates of coastal erosion. Erosion in this area has resulted in a reduction in beach amenity, loss of valuable agricultural land, critical mangrove habitats...

Timber Merchantable Residue Quantities and Harvesting Efficiency in Tropical Forests of Ghana; Drivers of Wood Residue Utilization for Forest Conservation
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 5 The practice of continuous extraction of only the main boles from felled trees to meet high demand for timber is one major cause of deforestation in Ghana, but merchantable residues (branchwood and stem off-cuts) left un-extracted can be utilized to increase efficient wood utilization to conserve the forests and the entire ecological system. This study assessed harvesting efficiency, and...

The T-RFLP Analysis of Methanogenic Community during the an Aerobic Fermentation of Tofu Liquid Waste
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 4 The increase energy demand by the due to the growth of human population could cause decreasing fossil fuel energy. In near future energy demand will increase rapidly in the future. All those problems require each country to produce and to use renewal energy. Biogas is one of the renewable energy sources that can be used as the alternative energy. This is a kind of methane gas which is fo...

Sediment Analysis of Shelar Lake, Maharashtra
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 3 The present paper deals with the physico- chemical properties of bottom sediment of a fresh water lake in which fishing is carried out. The soil of the lake under study was found to contain 35 % sand followed by 25% silt and 40 % clay. Thus the bottom soil was clayed loam in texture. The colour of the soil was black. The pH, conductivity, organic carbon, inorganic phosphate and nitrate w...
