Biopiles are a common treatment worldwide for the ex-situ remediation of contaminated soil. Much research has been carried out on understanding and modelling microbial degradation, but hitherto no study has attempted to model the effect on a biopile of its ambient surroundings. This paper presents a

This paper summarizes a feasibility study for a wind–diesel hybrid system for Star Island, New Hampshire, that also includes a desalination system component. In addition to supplying electricity during the peak demand summer months, this system attempted to balance the seasonal mismatch between wind

A small-scale seawater reverse-osmosis system with excellent energy efficiency is presented. The system promises to deliver up to 460 l/h of potable water, from seawater (at 40,000 ppm), while consuming less than 1600 W of electrical power. This represents a specific energy consumption of less than

Tan Tan, a city of 50000 inhabitants, is located in the arid, water scarce south of Morocco. It is presently supplied with fresh water from a ground water aquifer through one of the longest mains (130 km) in Morocco. The reserved amount (about 4000 m³/d) for Tan Tan City hardly satisfies present fre
