Investigation Into the Effects of Non-Linear Loading of Domestic Power Network on Home Appliances by Hossain, Ajad

“…This standard is of utmost importance on the present day situation due to increasing non-linear loading. Although the distortion limits are not applied to specific equipment, however, with a high penetration of non-linear loads, it is likely that some harmonic suppression may be necessary [8 − 12]. …”

High-Rate Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge by Integration of Electro-Fenton Process by Feki, Emna

“…Production of biogas was also found to improve during semi-continuous fermentation of EF-pretreated sludge conducted in a lab-scale reactor. In comparison to raw sludge, EF-pretreated sludge produced the highest biogas yield (0.81 L biogas/g VS) with a high COD removal rate, reaching 96.6% at an organic loading rate (OLR) of 2.5 g VS/L. d. …”
