Developing high-yield and resilient anaerobic co-digestion of alternative wastes, F. L. de los Reyes III (PI), Environmental Research and Education Foundation, October 2018- December 2020.

The overall objective of this project is to develop optimal operation of anaerobic digestion of food waste, particularly to increase methane yields, and process resilience and resistance to varying waste types and loads. This will lead to operational procedures that Continue reading Developing high-yield and resilient anaerobic co-digestion of alternative wastes, F.

ERC Planning Grant: Sanitation and Water Infrastructure of the Future for Marginalized Communities, F. L. de los Reyes III (PI), NSF, (09/01/2019- 08/31/2020)

The vision for SWIFt-MC is to develop and use advanced engineering analysis, technologies, models, and solutions to re-engineer water and sanitation/wastewater systems in underserved areas—both those lacking sufficient infrastructure and those lacking the resources to maintain existing infrastructure. This proposed planning grant Continue reading ERC Planning Grant: Sanitation and Water Infrastructure of the Future for Marginalized Communities, F.

Intensification of Anaerobic Digestion: Co-Digestion of Grease Interceptor Waste (GIW) with Thermally Hydrolyzed (TH) and non-TH Biosolids, F. L. de los Reyes III (PI), Urban Water Consortium,  (03/01/2020- 12/31/2021)

The intensification of anaerobic digestion (AD) of biosolids is a major goal and important factor in making anaerobic digestion economically feasible. This project explores two key ideas in significantly intensifying biomethane production in anaerobic digesters at water resource recovery facilities: Continue reading Intensification of Anaerobic Digestion: Co-Digestion of Grease Interceptor Waste (GIW) with Thermally Hydrolyzed (TH) and non-TH Biosolids, F.
