Why space matters in technological innovation systems—Mapping global knowledge dynamics of membrane bioreactor technology
Binz, Christian; Truffer, Bernhard; Coenen, Lars - In: Research Policy 43 (2014) 1, pp. 138-155
Studies on technological innovation systems (TISs) often set spatial boundaries at the national level and treat supranational levels as a geographically undifferentiated and freely accessible global technological opportunity set. This article criticizes this conceptualization and proposes...

Shared Urban Greywater Recycling Systems: Water Resource Savings and Economic Investment
Zadeh, Sara Moslemi; Hunt, Dexter V.L.; Lombardi, D. Rachel - In: Sustainability 5 (2013) 7, pp. 2887-2912
The water industry is becoming increasingly aware of the risks associated with urban supplies not meeting demands by 2050. Greywater (GW) recycling for non-potable uses (e.g., urinal and toilet flushing) provides an urban water management strategy to help alleviate this risk by reducing main...

Effect of Powdered Activated Carbon to Reduce Fouling in Membrane Bioreactors: A Sustainable Solution. Case Study
Torretta, Vincenzo; Urbini, Giordano; Raboni, Massimo; … - In: Sustainability 5 (2013) 4, pp. 1501-1509
Membrane Bio Reactors (MBRs) are mainly used for industrial wastewaters applications where their costs can be more easily afforded. High costs are basically due to energy consumption and membrane cleaning or replacement. Membrane fouling is responsible for reducing treated water production and...
