Helmut Kroiss (born 1944) is an Austrian civil engineer and professor emeritus of the TU Wien, Vienna. In 1987 he was appointed to the Institute of Water Quality and Resource Management at the TU Wien, as successor to Wilhelm von der Emde, which he headed until his retirement in 2012. [1]

Life

Helmut Kroiss was born 1944 in Mauterndorf in the Salzburg province, [2] district Lungau, Austria. He attended elementary school there from 1950 to 1954. He completed his secondary education at the Federal Boarding School Graz-Liebenau (today: HIB Graz Liebenau), where he graduated in 1962. From 1962 onward he studied civil engineering at TU Wien, majoring in hydraulic engineering. In 1971 he graduated with the degree of Dipl.-Ing. After completing his military service, he worked from 1972 to 1985 as assistant to Wilhelm von der Emde at the Institute for Water Quality and Landscape Water Engineering, (today's name: Institute for Water Quality and Resource Management - iwr) at TU Wien.

Helmut Kroiss completed his doctoral studies in 1977 with a dissertation on the subject of the purification of sugar factory wastewater, [3] which was the result of a study initiated by the sugar industry. The aim was to develop a mechanical biological wastewater treatment process for the flume and wash water from beet sugar production which allows recirculation of the treated effluent without addition of chemicals. The research concentrated on the reliable control of bulking sludge using the selector principle. The process developed was successfully implemented at a large Austrian sugar factory and served as a model for implementation in other industries. In 1985 Helmut Kroiss published his habilitation treatise on Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment [4] which led to teaching authorisation (venia legendi) in the field of wastewater treatment.

After having spent 2½ years at VOEST-ALPINE AG Linz as head of the research and development department for water and wastewater he returned to TU Wien in 1987 as successor to Wilhelm von der Emde. He headed the Institute's Department of Water Quality Management and, alternating with Paul Brunner, the entire Institute for Water Quality and Resource Management until his retirement in 2012.

Work and achievements

At the beginning of his professional career, he was involved in research together with von der Emde within the framework of the International Commission for the Protection of Lake Constance (IGKB). His first international project was concerned with combined storm water overflow, which resulted in Report No. 14 of the IGKB, [5] the contents of which in turn were integrated into the guideline ATV-A 128 (1977/1) of the DWA. This was followed by investigations for design and operation of the Vienna Main Wastewater Treatment Plant (3.5 Mio PE, start of operation 1980). Helmut Kroiss was operating 2 pilot plants in-line with the main wastewater flow for about two years. They resulted in the implementation of the selector concept for bulking control into the final design of this plant and also in reliable data on sludge production and composition for the design of sludge treatment and disposal. It was the first time a mass balance concept was applied for data quality control.

A main focus of his activities was the development of different treatment processes for wastewaters from large municipalities and different industrial branches. His work can be characterised as a successful combination of scientific research results and the development of reliable practical solutions. Methodological lab-scale investigations were performed in order to solve scientific problems and in most cases onsite and online pilot scale plants were operated in order to confirm engineering solutions under actual conditions. In this way the future operators of plants could be involved in solutions during the development and design phase.

A further focus of his work was on anaerobic wastewater treatment triggered by the energy crisis of the 1970s. The extensive lab and pilot investigations became the cornerstone of a patented process for the anaerobic treatment of industrial waste water, the EKJ process (Emde-Kroiss-Jungbunzlauer), [6] which Kroiss developed together with his mentor Wilhelm von der Emde in cooperation with an Austrian company and which was used for the energy efficient treatment of concentrated industrial waste water. The largest of these plants, with a reactor volume of 30,000 m3, was built for the citric acid factory in Pernhofen, Austria.

In addition, his scientific activities included a focus on energy use minimisation for treatment plants as well as energy recovery from wastewater and wastes e.g. making wastewater treatment plants like the Vienna Plant energy self-sufficient [7] or to convert beet sugar production to energy self-sufficiency by replacing natural gas by biogas from online anaerobic treatment of the beet residues after sugar extraction. [8] [9] He also dealt intensively with the topic of nutrient emissions and river basin management. Under his leadership, the EU project daNUbs examined nutrient emissions into the Danube catchment area and their effects on the Black Sea. [10] [11] [12] His work also created the basis for benchmarking at wastewater treatment plants. [13] Furthermore, he dealt with issues ranging from sewage sludge utilisation and disposal [14] to nutrition and sustainability as well as climate change in connection with water quality management.

Helmut Kroiss managed national and international projects in the fields of industrial and municipal wastewater treatment, plant design and operation and, in later years, increasingly in the field of river basin management, in Austria, Germany, Singapore, Indonesia, India, China, Hong Kong, Finland, Croatia, Slovenia and Hungary. Continuing the work of his predecessor, he was also involved in the training of wastewater treatment specialists in cooperation with the Austrian Water and Waste Management Association (ÖWAV - Österreichischer Wasser- und Abfallwirtschaftsverband. In this context, he organised and conducted specialist courses and also helped to set up corresponding training programmes, e.g. in Bulgaria and Macedonia, in the years after the "opening to the East". Helmut Kroiss was elected as Vice-president and later President of the Austrian Water and Waste Association (ÖWAV). Even after his retirement, Helmut Kroiss continued to be active with national professional committees, such as ÖWAV, as well as in international associations like the German Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste (DWA - Deutsche Vereinigung für Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall, and the IWA (International Water Association).

He also put his expertise at the service of international, relevant non-university organisations and scientific committees. In 2001 Helmut Kroiss became a full member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts and he is a long-standing member of the technical and scientific committee of the European Water Association (EWA). From 2004 Helmut Kroiss worked as a consultant of the Syndicat interdépartemental pour l’assainissement de l’agglomération parisienne (in German) (SIAAP), [15] responsible for wastewater treatment and disposal of the Greater Paris Area.

The international recognition of Helmut Kroiss was strongly supported by his long-term membership of international water associations, starting in 1974. Already in the 1980s he became member of the Board of Directors of the International Association on Water Quality (IAWQ) a precursor of the International Water Association (IWA). During his chairmanship of the IWA Specialist Group on Design, Operation and Economics of Large Wastewater Treatment Plants, initiated by his predecessor Wilhelm von der Emde in 1971, he was responsible for the organisation of two IWA Specialist Conferences in Vienna in 1995 and 2007. From 2004 to 2008 he was a member of the IWA Board of Directors as chair of the Program Committee, responsible for the scientific program of the IWA World Water Congresses in Beijing (2006) and Vienna (2008). From 2004 to 2014 he was a member of the IWA publishing committee and Editor-in-Chief of Water Science and Technology, Water Science and Technology : Water Supply and Water Practice and Technology at IWAP, the publishing company of IWA. He rejoined the IWA Board of Directors from 2012 to 2018 and in 2013 was elected IWA president for the term 2014 to 2016 starting his role at the Lisbon IWA World Water Congress in autumn 2014. [16] His engagement with the IWA board ended in 2018 in Tokyo in South-East Asia where his international activity had focussed for about 20 years.

Beyond his role as professor at the institute, he held various positions at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and in the Senate of the TU Wien. From 1988 to September 2010 he was a member of the Senate of the TU Wien. He was Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering in the academic years 1992/93 and 1993/94, as well as Dean of the Faculty in the academic years 1994/95 to 1997/98. [17] He held the position of Deputy Chairman of the Senate from October 2003 [18] until September 2010.

At the end of the 1990s, he was instrumental in establishing the double degree bachelor and master course in hydraulic engineering in German language at the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy (UACG) in Sofia/Bulgaria and TU Wien. In 2003 he was awarded an honorary doctorate at UACG and in 2013 was visiting professor at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sanitation</span> Public health conditions related to clean water and proper excreta and sewage disposal

Sanitation refers to public health conditions related to clean drinking water and treatment and disposal of human excreta and sewage. Preventing human contact with feces is part of sanitation, as is hand washing with soap. Sanitation systems aim to protect human health by providing a clean environment that will stop the transmission of disease, especially through the fecal–oral route. For example, diarrhea, a main cause of malnutrition and stunted growth in children, can be reduced through adequate sanitation. There are many other diseases which are easily transmitted in communities that have low levels of sanitation, such as ascariasis, cholera, hepatitis, polio, schistosomiasis, and trachoma, to name just a few.

Waste treatment refers to the activities required to ensure that waste has the least practicable impact on the environment. In many countries various forms of waste treatment are required by law.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Biosolids</span> Decontaminated sewage sludge

Biosolids are solid organic matter recovered from a sewage treatment process and used as fertilizer. In the past, it was common for farmers to use animal manure to improve their soil fertility. In the 1920s, the farming community began also to use sewage sludge from local wastewater treatment plants. Scientific research over many years has confirmed that these biosolids contain similar nutrients to those in animal manures. Biosolids that are used as fertilizer in farming are usually treated to help to prevent disease-causing pathogens from spreading to the public. Some sewage sludge can not qualify as biosolids due to persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic chemicals, radionuclides, and heavy metals at levels sufficient to contaminate soil and water when applied to land.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Waste stabilization pond</span> Ponds designed and built for wastewater treatment

Waste stabilization ponds are ponds designed and built for wastewater treatment to reduce the organic content and remove pathogens from wastewater. They are man-made depressions confined by earthen structures. Wastewater or "influent" enters on one side of the waste stabilization pond and exits on the other side as "effluent", after spending several days in the pond, during which treatment processes take place.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Activated sludge</span> Wastewater treatment process using aeration and a biological floc

The activated sludgeprocess is a type of biological wastewater treatment process for treating sewage or industrial wastewaters using aeration and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa. It is one of several biological wastewater treatment alternatives in secondary treatment, which deals with the removal of biodegradable organic matter and suspended solids. It uses air and microorganisms to biologically oxidize organic pollutants, producing a waste sludge containing the oxidized material.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Industrial wastewater treatment</span> Processes used for treating wastewater that is produced by industries as an undesirable by-product

Industrial wastewater treatment describes the processes used for treating wastewater that is produced by industries as an undesirable by-product. After treatment, the treated industrial wastewater may be reused or released to a sanitary sewer or to a surface water in the environment. Some industrial facilities generate wastewater that can be treated in sewage treatment plants. Most industrial processes, such as petroleum refineries, chemical and petrochemical plants have their own specialized facilities to treat their wastewaters so that the pollutant concentrations in the treated wastewater comply with the regulations regarding disposal of wastewaters into sewers or into rivers, lakes or oceans. This applies to industries that generate wastewater with high concentrations of organic matter, toxic pollutants or nutrients such as ammonia. Some industries install a pre-treatment system to remove some pollutants, and then discharge the partially treated wastewater to the municipal sewer system.

An aerated lagoon is a simple wastewater treatment system consisting of a pond with artificial aeration to promote the biological oxidation of wastewaters.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Secondary treatment</span> Biological treatment process for wastewater or sewage

Secondary treatment is the removal of biodegradable organic matter from sewage or similar kinds of wastewater. The aim is to achieve a certain degree of effluent quality in a sewage treatment plant suitable for the intended disposal or reuse option. A "primary treatment" step often precedes secondary treatment, whereby physical phase separation is used to remove settleable solids. During secondary treatment, biological processes are used to remove dissolved and suspended organic matter measured as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). These processes are performed by microorganisms in a managed aerobic or anaerobic process depending on the treatment technology. Bacteria and protozoa consume biodegradable soluble organic contaminants while reproducing to form cells of biological solids. Secondary treatment is widely used in sewage treatment and is also applicable to many agricultural and industrial wastewaters.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sewage sludge treatment</span> Processes to manage and dispose of sludge during sewage treatment

Sewage sludge treatment describes the processes used to manage and dispose of sewage sludge produced during sewage treatment. Sludge treatment is focused on reducing sludge weight and volume to reduce transportation and disposal costs, and on reducing potential health risks of disposal options. Water removal is the primary means of weight and volume reduction, while pathogen destruction is frequently accomplished through heating during thermophilic digestion, composting, or incineration. The choice of a sludge treatment method depends on the volume of sludge generated, and comparison of treatment costs required for available disposal options. Air-drying and composting may be attractive to rural communities, while limited land availability may make aerobic digestion and mechanical dewatering preferable for cities, and economies of scale may encourage energy recovery alternatives in metropolitan areas.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Aerobic granular reactor</span>

Aerobic granular reactors (AGR) or Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) are a community of microbial organisms, typically around 0.5-3mm in diameter, that remove carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and other pollutants in a single sludge system. It can also be used for wastewater treatments. Aerobic granular sludge is composed of bacteria, protozoa and fungi, which allows oxygen to follow in and biologically oxidize organic pollutants. AGS is a type of wastewater treatment process for sewages and/or industrial waste treatment. AGR was first discovered by UK engineers, Edward Ardern and W.T. Lockett who were researching better ways for sewage disposal. Another scientist by the name of Dr. Gilbert Fowler, who was at the University of Manchester working on an experiment based on aeration of sewage in a bottle coated with algae. Eventually, all three scientists were able to collaborate with one another to discover AGR/AGS.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sewage treatment</span> Process of removing contaminants from municipal wastewater

Sewage treatment is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges. Sewage contains wastewater from households and businesses and possibly pre-treated industrial wastewater. There are a high number of sewage treatment processes to choose from. These can range from decentralized systems to large centralized systems involving a network of pipes and pump stations which convey the sewage to a treatment plant. For cities that have a combined sewer, the sewers will also carry urban runoff (stormwater) to the sewage treatment plant. Sewage treatment often involves two main stages, called primary and secondary treatment, while advanced treatment also incorporates a tertiary treatment stage with polishing processes and nutrient removal. Secondary treatment can reduce organic matter from sewage,  using aerobic or anaerobic biological processes. A so-called quarternary treatment step can also be added for the removal of organic micropollutants, such as pharmaceuticals. This has been implemented in full-scale for example in Sweden.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Aerobic granulation</span>

The biological treatment of wastewater in the sewage treatment plant is often accomplished using conventional activated sludge systems. These systems generally require large surface areas for treatment and biomass separation units due to the generally poor settling properties of the sludge. Aerobic granules are a type of sludge that can self-immobilize flocs and microorganisms into spherical and strong compact structures. The advantages of aerobic granular sludge are excellent settleability, high biomass retention, simultaneous nutrient removal and tolerance to toxicity. Recent studies show that aerobic granular sludge treatment could be a potentially good method to treat high strength wastewaters with nutrients, toxic substances.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Reuse of human excreta</span> Safe, beneficial use of human excreta mainly in agriculture (after treatment)

Reuse of human excreta is the safe, beneficial use of treated human excreta after applying suitable treatment steps and risk management approaches that are customized for the intended reuse application. Beneficial uses of the treated excreta may focus on using the plant-available nutrients that are contained in the treated excreta. They may also make use of the organic matter and energy contained in the excreta. To a lesser extent, reuse of the excreta's water content might also take place, although this is better known as water reclamation from municipal wastewater. The intended reuse applications for the nutrient content may include: soil conditioner or fertilizer in agriculture or horticultural activities. Other reuse applications, which focus more on the organic matter content of the excreta, include use as a fuel source or as an energy source in the form of biogas.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fecal sludge management</span> Collection, transport, and treatment of fecal sludge from onsite sanitation systems

Fecal sludge management (FSM) is the storage, collection, transport, treatment and safe end use or disposal of fecal sludge. Together, the collection, transport, treatment and end use of fecal sludge constitute the "value chain" or "service chain" of fecal sludge management. Fecal sludge is defined very broadly as what accumulates in onsite sanitation systems and specifically is not transported through a sewer. It is composed of human excreta, but also anything else that may go into an onsite containment technology, such as flushwater, cleansing materials, menstrual hygiene products, grey water, and solid waste. Fecal sludge that is removed from septic tanks is called septage.

Sustainable energy management in the wastewater sector applies the concept of sustainable management to the energy involved in the treatment of wastewater. The energy used by the wastewater sector is usually the largest portion of energy consumed by the urban water and wastewater utilities. The rising costs of electricity, the contribution to greenhouse gas emissions of the energy sector and the growing need to mitigate global warming, are driving wastewater utilities to rethink their energy management, adopting more energy efficient technologies and processes and investing in on-site renewable energy generation.
