The method of wood waste utilization by pressing it into fuel briquettes is considered. It is proposed to use sulfate soap, a multi-tonnage waste of the pulp and paper industry, as an astringent. It is proven that as a result of adding a binder to the raw material, it is possible to carry out the process of forming briquettes with lower pressures, while ensuring the necessary statistical strength of the briquette. An appropriate method of supplying the binder is its preliminary mixing with wood waste. The most suitable concentration of the binder for fuel briquettes amounts to 6%. The use of a binder made it possible to reduce engine power by 40%, as well as increase the density of the obtained fuel briquettes by 10%.

Experimental regulating parameters of the non-stationary expansion of air inside a bladder-type hydraulic accumulator, working with the simple short pipeline, are presented in the paper. The technique of continuous online monitoring of changes in time of volume and absolute air pressure inside the hydraulic accumulator during the discharge process has been improved. Three series of experimental studies of transient gas processes inside the accumulator at different values of the average volume flow rate are made. Tendencies of change of the integral parameters of the hydraulic accumulator are obtained and analyzed depending on the serial number of the discharge cycle. A general dependence of dimensionless storage volume Kreg on the polytropic index n in series # 1–3, approximated by single power-law dependence, is obtained. The systematic changes of integral parameters in each subsequent discharge cycle can be explained by the non-stationary transient thermodynamic processes in air inside the accumulator until the thermodynamic equilibrium with the ambient air parameters is reached.

Energy strategies of most developed countries include the sustainable development of all types of renewable energy, including energy generation from biomass. Co-digestion of sewage sludge and plant biomass has a number of synergetic effects, leading to increased digestion rate and output of biogas. The range of potentially effective co-digestion of sewage sludge with plant raw materials was considered on the example of the full-scale estimation study for Lviv WWTP, Ukraine. Substitution of the 25% of dry organic matter of sewage sludge by the same amount of plant raw matter can increase the total output of the methane at the biogas station by about 5.8%.

Accumulation of leachate at municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills is a significant environmental problem. The analysis of known technologies of leachate treatment was performed. It was established that it is not effective to use the same technology to treat leachate in two different periods: before the landfill closure and reclamation process as well as afterwards. The application of integrated two-stage aerobic-reagent pre-treatment technology with subsequent full treatment at municipal wastewater treatment plants was proposed for these purposes. The results of laboratory studies of optimal parameters of technology realization for the pre-treatment of Lviv MSW landfill leachate were presented. Recommendations for the practical implementation of the combined two-stage aerobicreagent technology for the landfill leachate pre-treatment were developed.

Global climate change is causing water imbalances in many regions of the world to exceed evaporation over rainfall, leading to negative environmental consequences and economic losses. An effective way to reduce the water loss due to evaporation from the free surface of water bodies is the use of ultra-thin surface films of special additives. Insufficient stability and significant cost of additives based on fatty alcohols (hexadecanol, octadecanol and their mixtures) necessitate searching for new effective and more economical additives to reduce the water loss due to evaporation. A series of long-term (84 day) experimental studies of the effect of ultra-thin layers of polydimethylsiloxanes PDMS100 and PDMS-200 with a thickness of 1 μm on the rate of evaporation of water from the free surface was conducted under the indoor laboratory conditions. Both the dynamics of change in time of daily values of the effect of evaporation retardation by PDMS films, and total effect from the beginning of experiment were obtained. The maximum daily effects of evaporation retardation were obtained on the 6th day of the study; they are 39.5% for the PDMS-200 film and 32.9% for the PDMS-100 film, respectively. Linear correlations are obtained between the values of the mass transfer coefficient and the free surface temperature for water without additives, as well as for the same free surfaces with ultra-thin PDMS films. Overall integral efficiency of evaporation retardation by the PDMS-200 film with a thickness of 1 μm for 84 days was equal to 17.2%, while for the PDMS-100 film of the same thickness a reduction of evaporation by 5.7% was obtained. Due to the long-term activity, ultra-thin films of polydimethylsiloxanes, especially PDMS-200, can be a profitable alternative to the use of monolayers based on fatty alcohols.

Broad-crested weirs (BCW) are commonly used elements of stormwater systems and different open-channel hydraulic structures. Specific features of stormwater drainage channels are small width, low flow depths and, accordingly, small overflow heads at weirs. Dependences of the discharge coefficient of narrow (b = 0.224 m) rectangular sharp-edged broad-crested weirs with vertical walls, threshold height of 0.05 m and threshold length of 0.05–0.2 m were obtained experimentally. The experimental values of the discharge coefficient were approximated by the power-law functions of relative length of the weir. At large values of the relative length of the threshold (L/h> 10), for all weirs was obtained the same tendency of decreasing the discharge coefficient with increasing L/h ratio that can be explained by the enlargement of the hydraulic friction along the weir with increasing L/h ratio.

The potential of organic wastes in Ukraine for biogas production and the prospects of using the family-type biogas plants for this purpose are shown. In the biogas laboratory of the Ukrainian National Forestry University the efficiency of the anaerobic mesophilic digestion of chicken manure of Poltava poultry farm, Kamianets-Podilsky poultry farm and sewage sludge from Lviv wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was investigated. Different integral indicators of the biogas production and significantly different dynamics of its formation over time were obtained for three investigated substrates. The value of average specific biogas production from the sewage sludge of Lviv WWTP is 0.494 dm3∙(day∙kg FM)–1, which is 5.1 times more comparing the chicken manure of Kamianets-Podilsky poultry farm and 8.0 times more than for the chicken manure of Poltava poultry farm. Strong negative effect of antibiotic treatment of chickens on methane content in the obtained biogas was established experimentally.

A detailed hydrologic analysis was performed using geographic information systems and field investigations for thirty residential quarters in the Franko district of the Lviv city, Ukraine. All investigated quarters are located at the territory of the Baltic Sea catchment of the Lviv city, and the surface runoff from this area flows to the Lviv wastewater treatment plant. The total area of the investigated sub-catchment is 348.5 ha, including 58.46 % of impervious covers, 41.17 % of green spaces and 0.37 % of water bodies. The share of total impervious surfaces for each of the 30 analyzed quarters varies from 0.329 to 0.929, and the effective imperviousness – from 0.222 to 0.917. The correlation between the total and effective imperviousness was described by the power law dependency pef=(ptot) n. Two approaches were used to describe the relationship between the total and the effective imperviousness: 1) using all 30 empirical results for each quarter; 2) using the average values of the imperviousness of the total subcatchment. The obtained values of the power law exponent for these two empirical approaches are n1=1.308 and n2=1.275, respectively or 7.2 % and 9.6 % less, respectively, comparing to the corresponding value n=1.41 in the Livingston’s & Veenhuis’ approximation, obtained for 14 different highly urbanized quarters of Denver city. On the other hand, the power law exponents are 3.9% and 1.3% higher, respectively, comparing to the corresponding value n=1.259 in the approximation for the 900 km2 semi-urban watershed in Marion County, Georgia, USA.

The purpose of the presented research is to analyse possible methods of thickening of the Microcystis aeruginosa (Kützing) Kützing cyanobacteria using the obtained concentrate as a biomass for the production of energy carriers and biologically valuable substances. Method of cyanobacteria thickening under the action of electric current and in the electric field, as well as the method of coagulation–flocculation and gravity thickening, was experimentally investigated in labscale conditions. Electrical methods didn't show positive results for the Microcystis aeruginosa thickening, despite the reports of their potential efficiency in a number of previous studies. The high efficiency of the method of coagulation– flocculation and gravity thickening of Microcystis aeruginosa suspensions was obtained. The optimum concentrations of industrial polymeric coagulants and flocculants for the thickening of Microcystis aeruginosa suspensions were defined in the range of about 10 ppm for the coagulants and about 1 ppm for the flocculants. Negative effect of the previous cavitational treatment of the diluted suspensions of Microcystis aeruginosa on the effectiveness of the coagulation–flocculation and gravitational thickening was confirmed experimentally. Hydrodynamic cavitation should be recommended to use after the thickening as the next step of processing of concentrated suspensions of Microcystis aeruginosa to achieve maximum extraction of energy carriers and biologically valuable substances.

Celem przedstawionych badań była analiza możliwych metod zagęszczania cyjanobakterii Microcystis aeruginosa (Kützing) Kützing do uzyskania koncentratu biomasy przydatnego do produkcji energii i substancji czynnych biologicznie. W skali laboratoryjnej analizowano metody zagęszczania pod wpływem prądu i pola elektrycznego oraz metody koagulacji– flokulacji i zagęszczania grawitacyjnego. Metody elektryczne nie dały pozytywnych wyników mimo wielu wcześniejszych badań na temat ich potencjalnej efektywności. Dużą efektywność uzyskano natomiast w przypadku metod koagulacji– flokulacji i grawitacyjnego zagęszczania zawiesiny Microcystis aeruginosa. Optymalne stężenie przemysłowych polimerowych koagulantów użytych do zagęszczania ustalono na 10 ppm, a flokulantów – na 1 ppm. Doświadczalnie potwierdzono ujemny wpływ wcześniejszego poddawania rozcieńczonych roztworów Microcystis aeruginosa działaniu kawitacji na skuteczność zagęszczania metodami koagulacji i flokulacji oraz zagęszczania grawitacyjnego. Hydrodynamiczną kawitację zaleca się stosować po zagęszczaniu, jako następny etap w przetwarzaniu zagęszczonej zawiesiny Microcystis aeruginosa do postaci nośnika energii i pozyskania substancji biologicznie czynnych.

The paper analyzes the advanced technologies of wastewater treatment with a high content of organic pollutants and ammonium ions. Two different bi-stage scenarios for the treatment of such effluents are proposed. The first scenario includes the pretreatment in aerated lagoons and the final stage at the wastewater treatment plants after appropriate dilution with municipal sewages. The second scenario also includes the first stage in aerated lagoons with a tertiary treatment at the plant for cyanobacteria cultivation with the use of obtained biomass for biofuels production. The effects of the aeration periodicity on the leachate treatment efficiency and also on the composition of microbiocenosis in the aerated lagoons were investigated. The leachates of the Lviv landfill of municipal solid waste (MSW) were used in experimental investigations. The Lviv landfill of MSW was used for domestic and industrial wastes deposition for almost six decades, since the 1960s. It was found that the highest effect of ammoniacal nitrogen removal was obtained in the mode of periodic aeration, with the cycle duration of two hours including the one-hour aeration. It was found that the microorganisms extracted from the leachates of the Lviv MSW landfill are prospective for the new biotechnologies of treatment of the highly concentrated wastewaters, since this microbiocenosis is resistant to the widespread pollutants, in particular to heavy metal ions.
