DOI 10.2166/wst.2026.363
Open DOI
Multi-pass shell and tube concentric tubular module design for membrane distillation for desalination and wastewater treatment
Graphical abstract illustrating a novel multi-pass concentric membrane distillation module designed for treating saline water and wastewater. The illustration shows the three-dimensional module assembly, exploded view of its components, ...

Open DOI
Comparing the use of mobile device and flow data to characterize dynamic populations in wastewater surveillance monitoring areas
Two wastewater monitoring areas connecting to a graph. On the x-axis is the month of the year; on the y-axis is population. Mobile device counts and flow rates both show fluctuations, but mobile device counts have larger swings. Mobile d...

Open DOI
Effect of wastewater quality on the performance of a constructed wetland–soil aquifer treatment hybrid system in Palestine
Graphical abstract shows the CW-SAT setup, water quality results at the inlet and outlets, and reuse and recharge standards. This study evaluated the performance of hybrid horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (CWs) coupled wit...

DOI 10.2166/wst.2026.360
Open DOI
From standard to data-driven flow-based design of urban drainage and wastewater management systems: integrating variability, open data, and standardization
Flowchart showing the transition from conventional to data-driven urban drainage design, supported by four interconnected themes: peak flow variability, open data sources, modelling strategies, and dataset standardization. Urban drainage...

DOI 10.2166/wst.2026.354
Open DOI
Evaluation of plasma generated reactive nitrogen species in digestates: exploring the potential of acid-base titration as a proxy indicator of nitrate formation
Workflow and key results for DBD plasma treatment of anaerobic digestate, showing NOx uptake, TON-N, and FOS/TAC monitoring. Ammonia accumulation reduces the stability and fertiliser value of anaerobic digestate, while conventional anaer...
