Primary sedimentation tank model with characterized settling velocity groups by Polorigni, Christian Leprince

“…The modelling of primary sedimentation has often been overlooked because (i) it involves various intricacies that are difficult to replicate and (ii) primary sedimentation has been assumed to be an input to most of the main unit process models, including the activated sludge (AS) system and the anaerobic digestion (AD) models. …”

Investigating the fine milling of pigment in a colourant formulation on the Bühler PML2 Superflow mill by Lewis, Emily

“…The results did, however, confirm the validity of the stress energy model as a minimum stress energy of 0.067x10-3Nm was identifiable across the different specific energy input levels. This methodology would be most useful for future colourant production optimisation studies. …”
