WP2 Activities - Project Update Project Technical Board Meeting - 21/01
UNIPA Activities Reactivation of two granular sludge reactors after the summer holidays. Conditions: one in anaerobic feeding, the other in fully aerobic conditions. Steady-state achieved; complete granulation in anaerobic reactor; aerobic reactor at 50%. Testing maximum organic load to evaluate system response in COD removal. Upcoming: Alginate extraction and boosting experiments. Prototype assembly for Agrumaria Corleone facility: aiming for startup by early March. Preparation of Deliverable 2.2 report, due end of January.
Montpellier Activities Focus on granular sludge system equipped with membrane. Research on zeolite's role in reducing membrane fouling. Results: COD removal improved up to 98%, significant reduction in fouling. Zeolite addition reduces cleaning frequency.
CNR Activities Development of nanocomposite coating layers based on sulfonated pentablock copolymer. Goal: Increase contaminant removal efficiency and add antimicrobial/antibiofouling properties. Planned experiments on biological aspects with Sebania Libertino to start soon.
CERTE Activities Characterization of wastewater from the tomato industry (COMOCAP). Phase 1: Bioreactor with granular sludge operating in continuous mode since July. Current focus: Enhancing granule size with chemical additives. Future activities will aim to improve granulation.
