Water management for Power-to-X offshore platforms: an underestimated item.

Increasing carbon dioxide (CO) concentration in the atmosphere is considered one of the most important challenges today. Therefore, capturing CO and producing alternative energy sources through Power-to-X (PtX) approaches have become relevant scientific topics in recent years. However, there is a significant research gap regarding water management in PtX processes, particularly in offshore operations.

Removal of Diverse and Abundant ARGs by MF-NF Process from Pig Manure and Digestate.

Antimicrobial resistances are emerging as one main threat to worldwide human health and are expected to kill 10 million people by 2050. Intensive livestock husbandry, along with biogas digestate, are considered as one of the biggest ARG reservoirs. Despite major concerns, little information is available on the diversity and abundance of various ARGs in small to large scale pig farms and biogas digestate slurry in Germany, followed by their consequent removal using microfiltration (MF)-nanofiltration (NF) process.

MF-NF Treatment Train for Pig Manure: Nutrient Recovery and Reuse of Product Water.

The livestock industry negatively impacts the environment by producing high organic and mineral loaded manure and wastewater. On the contrary, manure is also considered as the major focal point of resource recovery. The microfiltration (MF) process in manure treatment is well known for being the least complex and highly energy efficient.
