HYAN [Hybrid anaerobic] A process for treating the supernatant liquor from sewage sludge treatment plants by anaerobic digestion. The methane produced is burnt to provide heat for the treatment plant and to destroy odors. Developed by a Canadian consortium and operated at the Lakeview Water Pollution Control Plant, Mississauga, Ontario, from 1991. 

Rhenipal A sewage sludge treatment process. One of three proprietary additives is used be-fore dewatering. The resulting filter cake is smaller in volume, has less odor, and its heavy metals are insoluble. Offered by Rhenipal, UK, a joint venture between National Power and Dirk European.

Important is the conclusion that a significant amount of C02 may not be found in the exhaust gas but rather trapped in the culture liquid in the form of bicarbonate or even carbonate (in alkalophilic cultures). For example, Ponti [327] estimated that up to 25% of total carbon mineralized in sewage sludge treatment was captured as bicarbonate and not released via the gas phase. Disregarding this fact must result in systematically erroneous determinations of respiratory quotient (RQ), carbon dioxide production rate (CPR) and carbon recovery. However, taking all these factors into account allows the determination of the RQ-value, even in mammalian cell cultures, with reasonable accuracy even though bicarbonate and low gas turnover rates hamper the measurements [38].

Temperature sensors Another important parameter that is commonly measured in industrial process streams is temperature. Most chemical and biological reactions in industrial processes are known to be temperature dependent. The reliable and accurate determination of temperature in these cases is of paramount significance. Some of the industrial processes for which temperature measurement is frequently required include water treatment, waste-water treatment, conditioning of drinking water, sewage sludge treatment, and a wide range of chemical and biochemical processes.
