Sludge Characteristic

<p align="justify">In recent years, concerns regarding to wastewater sludge disposal have increased globally. Production of sludge has increased recently due to the growth of population. Wastewater sludge classified as a hazardous substance, it is not easy to dispose because of certain treatment is required. Typically, sludge is treated at secured landfill which its limited in availability and expensive. On the other hand, wastewater sludge originated from biological treatment contains organic substance that can be converted into alternative energy resources. A technology is needed that is able to reduce the volume of sludge and convert sludge into energy source. We present an overview of various technologies that can be used for conversion of sludge into energy resources. Those technologies are anaerobic digestion, pelletization, combustion, pyrolysis and gasification. Progress and challenges of each technology is presented in detail. A summary of sludge characteristic originated from different source will be discussed as well. Emissions and residues that determines the environmental impact is also considered. Referring to some previous research, it known that wastewater sludge, as unwanted product, has the potential to become future energy resource. This potential can only be used properly if the method of conversion are effective and efficient.</p>

Alternative Energy Resources

Purpose Ethiopia’s energy sector faces critical challenges to meeting steadily increasing energy demand given limited infrastructure, heavy reliance on hydroelectric power and underdevelopment of alternative energy resources. The purpose of this paper was to identify optimal least cost investment decisions for integrated energy source diversification. The authors seek to contribute to the relevant literature by paying particular attention to the role of public policy for promoting renewable energy investment and to better understand future energy security implications of various sources of uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach The authors created a dynamic linear programming model using General Algebraic Modelling System software to explore the national energy security implications of uncertainties associated with increasing technological advances and efficiency, and climate change scenarios. Findings To cope with the impacts of drought expected from future climate change on hydroelectric power production, Ethiopia would need to invest in the development of alternative energy resources. Such investment would not only enhance the sustainability and reliability of energy production but also increase costs. Greater rates of technological and efficiency innovations, however, were found to improve electricity diversification and reduce production costs and shadow prices or resource scarcity, and are thus key for enhancing energy security and reducing the risks posed by drought. Originality/value The dynamic linear programming model by the authors represents a flexible sector modelling tool for exploring the sustainability and efficiency of energy resource development pathways and evaluating the effects of different sources of uncertainty on the energy sector.

Wind energy is an alternative energy resources that abundant, enviromentally friendly and potential to be develop. The Utilization of wind energy can be applied at wind turbine. Ratio of vane amount as a runner was the variable that use on this research such as . Research use natural windfor 24 hours and data became fluctuatif. Data test obtain ratio runner 6:10 have greatest rotational speed, which is 373 rpm and mean rotational speed is 83.42 rpm. Runner ratio 6:12 have lowest rotational speed 291 rpm and mean rotational speed is 20.13

To establish a long-term sustainability of biodiesel to fulfill the quest for renewable fuel resources for the countries has low or no fossil fuels reserves. The energy resource meets to its limited capacity, alternative new energy resources must be explored such as the introduction of biodiesel as an alternative energy resources of petroleum products. The present research work is a 90-hour long-term endurance test performed with B30 sample (biodiesel 30% + 70% diesel) fueled with modified investigation performance, sound pressure level and engine durability. Special attention has been given to certain phenomena affecting the life of the engine, the formation of deposits and its performance. Experimental results of this research work demonstrated that the modified diesel engine could be efficiently performed with the B30 fuel sample.
