Summary: This study proposes a new method to optimize the anaerobic digestion of palm oil mill effluent (POME) to maximize biogas production on an industrial scale. Using data from a real-world industrial setting, the study analyzes the impact of process conditions on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and methane yield. The integration of response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) is used to predict optimal values for the process conditions. The optimized AD process improves COD removal efficiency, SS removal efficiency, and biogas production, and is economically viable.

Summary: Petroleum refinery effluents (PRE) are wastewaters from oil refining industries. This study aimed to assess the contribution of PREs to mixture toxic pressure in the environment using msPAF as an indicator. The msPAF levels of most effluents were substantially reduced downstream, indicating low to negligible toxicity of PREs beyond the initial mixing zone. Hydrocarbons and inorganics explained at least 85% of the mixture toxic pressure.

Summary: Distribution and elimination of petroleum products in aerobic wastewater treatment plants can be predicted using models like SimpleTreat. However, refineries typically use more advanced treatment processes such as dissolved air flotation (DAF). This study aimed to develop a WWTP removal model that includes DAF treatment, which showed that the increased air-water exchange in DAF resulted in higher predicted removal of volatile constituents.

Summary: In this study, wastewater from the Antibiotical-Saidal pharmaceutical plant was pretreated by coagulation-flocculation using copper sulfate (CuSO4), iron chloride (FeCl3), and a mixture of the two salts. Response surface methodology (RSM) and Gaussian process regression coupled with the dragonfly optimization algorithm (GPR-DA) were employed to optimize the treatment process and predict the reduction rates of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), absorbance at 254 nm (UV 254), and turbidity. The results showed that the mixed coagulant (CuSO4 + FeCl3) achieved superior treatment efficiency compared to using CuSO4 or FeCl3 alone.

The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
