Calcium phosphate and struvite crystallization has been widely studied for phosphate removal and recovery from urban wastewater. In this study, calcium phosphate and struvite crystallization were carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor. Experimental values of the P concentration ranged from 117-1000 mg …

In the following thesis, research is conducted on the effect of sea-level rise and expected hydraulic load levels for the Scheldt Estuary, currently and in the future. As climate changes advances and the sea-level rises, insight into the effects of the rise on our coastal area's is essential. Rijkswaterstaat …

In this document the research justification of the showcase was created. The research shows to what extent Bax-shop still has to improve their buildings to obtain a certain energy building label which is a directive (the European Energy Directive given by the European government to all its member states …

Aan de noordzijde van de Westerschelde onder ’s-Gravenpolder, ligt het natuurgebied de Biezelingse Ham. Het is een slik dat behoort tot Natura 2000-gebied, gelegen aan de buitenzijde van een dijk die functioneert als primaire waterkering. Het hoofddoel van de dijk is het achterland beschermen tegen overstromingen. …

The Nieuw Statendam is equipped with a program called ENIRAM. This program calculates the optimal engine configuration and load expressed in revolutions per minute of the propellers. The issue with this program is that it only looks at the main power plants and does not take the waste heat recovery system …

Our current linear economy works in the following system; take-make-waste. The waste products, materials and components contain lots of valuable resources that will end up on a landfill or being incinerated in order to generate energy. The majority of the companies in the research area Mid Brabant, are …

In this research several methods were developed and validated using the Supermini 200 wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. A multielement was calibrated containing 26 elements and corrected for interference according to the de Jongh algorithm. The limits of detection and quantification …

This thesis analyses the behaviour of the design of a physical model of a cable-stayed bridge during a dynamic analysis. To obtain the dynamic response of the design of a physical model, I had to create various designs and compared them to select a final one. I utilized the selected design for a shaking …

The natural value of Dutch sandy beaches has been declining for decades. These relatively unstable, low nutritious, wave-washed environments lack the primary producers that represent the base of the food web. Thus, the sandy beach food web relies almost entirely on nutrient influx of other systems. Beside …

Some berthing facilities at Hansweert are showing a structural failure where the top element of the dolphin shows an undesired inclination, compromising the functionality and safety of the structure. Rijkswaterstaat Sea and Delta created an assignment in order to define the cause and provide a solution …
