  • Boosting Biogasification of Urban Wastewater Sludge Using Water Hyacinth
    G.S. Anaokar, A.K. Khambete, R.A. Christian
    Advances in Transdisciplinary Engineering, 2023
    The haphazard growth of water hyacinth covering the surface water bodies is one of the leading challenges as causes to diminish portability of water sources and distracts concern ecosystem. Several attempts have been implemented for industrial wastewater treatment by phytoremediation using water hyacinth. Urban wastewater as it holds large amount of organic load, proved as a good biogas generator. While biogasification of municipal waste water, pretreatments like dewatering and enriching with nitrifiable components are essentially adopted to fetch maximum yield. A research work was carried out to find significance of water hyacinth in the biogasification of urban wastewater. Water hyacinth in shredded form was blended in different proportions with urban wastewater sludge and allowed for digestion in semi batch reactor. Biogas generation was monitored through consumed chemical oxygen demand. More the presence of water hyacinth, more biogas found generated. The maturation period was found lowest of 9 days at 40% addition which increased to 13 days at 60%. The sludge of 40% hyacinth found good fuel due to less carbon percentage.
  • Nomograms as a graphical model to predict biogas at municipal wastewater treatment plant using fuzzy indices
    Guruprasad S. Anaokar, Anjali K. Khambete, Robin A. Christian
    Environmental Progress and Sustainable Energy, 2023
    The strength of municipal wastewater and sludge considering their potential for biogasification can be expressed in terms of multiple parameter comprehensive indices (MPCI), namely, Wastewater Comprehensive Index (WWCI) and Sludge Comprehensive Index (SCI), respectively. Both of these indices can be calculated using fuzzy multiple criteria decisions making (FMCDM). Simple linear equations are established to express the relation between these indices, suspended solids concentration and biogas. The linear equation is developed to predict biogas from multiple parameter comprehensive indices, which indicate the linear relation between strength of wastewater, sludge and biogas. Nomogram was developed to get immediate quantification of biogas by linear scaling of suspended solid concentration and multiple parameter comprehensive indices (MPCI). Using a linear equation obtained from regression analysis; a suitable scale was developed to construct the nomogram. The biogas was found 96% precise with reference to measured one when estimated using nomograms. A single parameter, that is, suspended solids concentration will be monitored at municipal wastewater treatment plant, by digital device; to save chemicals, time, power and human resource. While taking efforts toward smart cities; digitalization and resource conservation will be creditable.
  • Biogas modeling by fuzzy comprehensive index of municipal wastewater and sludge
    Guruprasad S. Anaokar, Anjali K. Khambete, Robin A. Christian
    Environmental Progress and Sustainable Energy, 2021
    Multiple parameter comprehensive index by fuzzy logic is an innovative approach toward environmental indexing. An attempt was carried out to express strength of municipal wastewater and sludge considering their potential for biogasification in terms of wastewater comprehensive index (WWCI) and sludge comprehensive index (SCI), respectively. Both these indices were calculated using fuzzy multiple criteria decisions making (FMCDM). Further biogas was predicted using these WWCI and SCI by multiple linear regression. A significant relation was found in suspended solids concentration of influent wastewater and digester feedstock with WWCI and SCI, respectively. Considering this linear relation, an empirical equation was developed consisting WWCI and SCI giving biogas, which was found a user friendly and precise over established biogas prediction models. As both of these indices will be obtained simply by measuring suspended solids concentration by digital inline meter at wastewater treatment plant there will be no any need to practice laborious sampling, characterization, and calculations.

  • Predicting Biogasification Potential of Urban Wastewater Using Multiparameter Aggregated Index of Influent
    G. S. Anaokar, A. K. Khambete, R. A. Christian
    Environmental Progress and Sustainable Energy, 2019
    Municipal wastewater treatment plants have sufficient organic loading and can be utilized as reliable biogas generator. Prediction of biogasification potential is essential to maintain regularity in biogas supply and maximum utilization for energy recovery. Many attempts have been carried out to predict biogas using computational and logical models. Although due to uncertain characteristics of wastewater throughout the year, mathematical formulation of biogas found difficult. This research article has a novel approach to predict biogas using multi‐parameter aggregated index (MPAI), which has overcome the limitation of uneven characteristics. Indices for raw wastewater (MPAIinf) and digester feedstock (MPAIdig) were calculated. The correlation of biogas generation with R‐square value of 0.92 with MPAIinf and that of 0.87 for MPAIdig was found. A linear equation was established using the most significant parameter; BOD and these indices. Biogas prediction was found easy in all seasons with a precision of 93% when tested on site. © 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13119, 2019
  • Evaluation of a performance index for municipal wastewater treatment plants using MCDM - topsis
    Guruprasad Anaokar, Anjali Khambete, Robin Christian
    International Journal of Technology, 2018
    Deciding which are the best performing wastewater treatment plants can be complicated, as their operations comprise different parameters which are either dependent or non-dependent on each other, and are important when deciding the type of treatment. The relative importance of these parameters in terms of weight indicates the priority assigned by decision-makers to the criteria when ranking the alternatives. These weights are calculated by statistical relativity and Saaty’s nine point scale. The sensitivity of both of these approaches is analyzed. The performance of six municipal wastewater treatment plants is evaluated using the Multi-criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Efficiency is monitored on the basis of nine wastewater characteristics and compared with the limits established by the Central Pollution Control Board of India. The analysis uses both qualitative and quantitative approaches, which result in differential rankings; accordingly, plants with maximum organic loading removal efficiency were found to be most efficient when weights were applied as per Saaty’s scale. The study proposes a field base approach with regard to the suitability of the weight allocation method for respective utilization of the fuzzy approach in environmental monitoring systems.
