Drying biomass as fuel in a combustion process can increase the combustion efficiency, reduce pollution and improve operation. On the other hand, drying biomass is an expensive process that requires huge capital investment and energy input. The difficulty of removing moisture from biomass is...

This paper presents a study concerning the optimization of a Waste Water Treatment process. The process deals with carbon and nitrogen removal and includes activated sludge reactors coupled with an anaerobic digestion reactor. Nitrification and de-nitrification biochemical reactions are due to...

Foreseeing a promising future of utilizing bio-energy, more and more small-scale biomass power plants are recently built. Biomasses with high moisture content such as sludge or Empty Fruit Bunch are often used as fuel in small-scale power plant without proper drying. These highly moist biomasses...
