Pretreatment of swine wastewater using anaerobic filter

Efforts were made to assess the efficiency of an anaerobic filter packed with porous floating ceramic media and to identify the optimum operational condition of anaerobic filter as a pretreatment of swine wastewater for the subsequent biological removal of nitrogen and phosphorus. A stepwise decrease in hydraulic retention time (HRT) and an increase in organic loading rate (OLR) were utilized in an anaerobic filter reactor at mesophilic temperature (35°C). The optimum operating condition of the anaerobic filter was found to be at an HRT of 1 d. A soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency of 62% and a total suspended solids removal efficiency of 39% at an HRT of 1 d were achieved with an OLR of 16.0 kg total COD/(m³·d), respectively. The maximum methane production rate approached 1.70 vol of biogas produced per volume of reactor per day at an HRT of 1 d. It was likely that the effluent COD/total Kjeldahl nitrogen ratio, of 22, the COD/total phosphorous ratio of 47, and the high effluent alkalinity >2500 mg/L as CaCO₃ of the anaerobic filter operated at an HRT of 1 d was adequate for the subsequent biological removal of nitrogen and phosphorus.     

Mixed- and plug-flow performances of an anaerobic biofilter treating 2-ethylhexanoic acid

The performance of a 20-L anaerobic biofilter treating 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid (2-EHA) operating with the effluent recirculated was compared with that of the same biofilter operated without any recirculation. The recirculation of effluent was at a rate of 60 L/h through the biofilter. Tracer experiments were carried out to study the hydrodynamics in the biofilter under different modes of operation. The dispersion number (D/UL) obtained from these tracer experiments for the biofilter operated with and without effluent recirculation were 0.65 and 0.06, respectively. These values show that the recirculation was effective in achieving a mixed-flow pattern in the biofilter, whereas the biofilter operated without recirculation was essentially a plug-flow column with a moderate level of axial dispersion. The feed consisted of 2-EHA at a concentration of 8200 mg/L, which is equivalent to a COD of 20,000 mg/L. The optimal performance of the mixed-flow biofilter was at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1.1 d, with a COD removal efficiency of 92.8% and a biogas production rate of 6.44 L/L biofilter vol/d. The biofilter failed at 0.83 d HRT, as a result of washout of biomass at this high hydraulic loading rate. By comparison, the optimal performance achieved for the plug-flow system was at 2 d HRT. The COD removal efficiency was 74.1%, and biogas production rate was 2.13 L/L biofilter vol/d. When the HRT was lowered to 1.5 d, failure occurred owing to inhibition as indicated by the low methane yield of 0.192 L/g COD removed. The superior performance of the mixed-flow mode can be attributed to the presence of the recycle stream, which diluted and evenly distributed the feed.     

Removal of chemical oxygen demand,nitrogen, and heavy metals using a sequenced anaerobic-aerobic treatment of landfill leachates at 10-30 degrees C

As a first step of treatment of landfill leachates (total chemical oxygen demand [COD]: 1.43–3.81 g/L; total nitrogen: 90–162 mg/L), performance of laboratory upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactors was investigated under mesophilic (30°C), submesophilic (20°C), and psychrophilic (10°C) conditions. Under hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of about 0.3 d, when the average organic loading rates (OLRs) were about 5 g of COD/(L·d), the total COD removal accounted for 81% (on average) with the effluent concentrations close to the anaerobic biodegradability limit (0.25 g of COD/L) for mesophilic and submesophilic regimes. The psychrophilic treatment conducted under an average HRT of 0.34 d and an average OLR of 4.22 g of ducted under an average HRT of 0.34 d and an average OLR of 4.22 g of COD/(L·d) showed a total COD removal of 47%, giving effluents (0.75 g of COD/L) more suitable for subsequent biologic nitrogen removal. All three anaerobic regimes used for leachate treatment were quite efficient for elimination of heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd) by concomitant precipitation in the form of insoluble sulfides inside the sludge bed. The application of aerobic/anoxic biofilter as a sole polishing step for psychrophilic anaerobic effluents was acceptable for elimination of biodegradable COD and nitrogen approaching the current standards for direct discharge of treated waste-water.     

Combined biologic (anaerobic-aerobic) and chemical treatment of starch industry wastewater

A combined biologic and chemical treatment of high-strength (total chemical oxygen demand [CODtot] up to 20 g/L), strong nitrogenous (total N up to 1 g/L), and phosphoric (total P up to 0.4 g/L) starch industry wastewater was investigated at laboratory-scale level. As a principal step for COD elimination, upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactor performance was investigated at 30 degrees C. Under hydraulic retention times (HRTs) of about 1 d, when the organic loading rates were higher than 15 g of COD/(L.d), the CODtot removal varied between 77 and 93%, giving effluents with a COD/N ratio of 4-5:1, approaching the requirements of subsequent denitrification. The activated sludge reactor operating in aerobic-anoxic regime (HRT of about 4 d, duration of aerobic and anoxic phases of 30 min each) was able to remove up to 90% of total nitrogen and up to 64% of COD tot from the anaerobic effluents under 17-20 degrees C. The coagulation experiments with Fe(III) showed that 1.4 mg of resting hardly biodegradable COD and 0.5 mg of phosphate (as P) could be removed from the aerobic effluents by each milligram of iron added.     

Anaerobic treatment of low-strength brewery wastewater in expanded granular sludge bed reactor

Anaerobic treatment of low-strength brewery wastewater, with influent total chemical oxygen demand (COD) (CODin) concentrations ranging from 550 to 825 mg/L, was investigated in a pilot-scale 225.5-L expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor. In an experiment in which the temperature was lowered stepwise from 30 to 12 degrees C, the COD removal efficiency decreased from 73 to 35%, at organic loading rates (OLR) of 11-16.5 g COD/L/d. The applied hydraulic retention time (HRT) and liquid upflow velocity (Vup) were 1.2 h and 5.8 m/h, respectively. Under these conditions, the acidified fraction of the CODin varied from 45 to 90%. In addition to the expected drop in reactor performance, problems with sludge retention were also observed. In a subsequent experiment set at 20 degrees C, COD removal efficiencies exceeding 80% were obtained at an OLR up to 12.6 g COD/L/d, with CODin between 630 and 715 mg/L. The values of HRT and Vup applied were 2.1-1.2 h, and 4.4-7.2 m/h, respectively. The acidified fraction of the CODin was above 90%, but sludge washout was not significant. These results indicate that the EGSB potentials can be further explored for the anaerobic treatment of low-strength brewery wastewater, even at lower temperatures.     

Mass production of methane from food wastes with concomitant wastewater treatment

We developed a process for production of methane at a pilot scale. This process consists of three stages. The first stage is a semianaerobic hydrolysis/acidogenic step in which organic wastes are converted to various sugars, amino acids, and volatile fatty acids (VFAs). Operation temperature and pH were 45°C, and 5.0–5.5, respectively. Hydraulic retention time (HRT) was 2 d. To remove the putrid odor and to enhance the hydrolysis of organic wastes, a mixture of bacteria isolated from landfill soil was inoculated into the reactor. Total chemical oxygen demand (tCOD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD) were 36,000 mg/L and 40,000 mg/L, respectively. The second stage was an anaerobic acidogenic process, which can produce large amount of VFAs including acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate, and caproate. Operation temperature and pH were 35°C, and 5.0–5.5, respectively. HRT was 2 d. The third stage was a strictly anaerobic methane fermentation step producing methane and carbon dioxide from VFAs. The working volume of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) type reactor was 1200 L, and operation temperature and pH were 41°C, and 7.7–7.9, respectively. HRT was 12 d. Seventy two percent of methane at maximum was generated and the yield was 0.45–0.50 m³/kg VS of food wastes. Through the process, 88% of tCOD and 95% of BOD were removed. The wastewater was treated with the biological aerobic and anaerobic filters immobilized with heterotrophic and autotrophic nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. Ninety percent of total nitrogen (T-N) was removed by this treatment. The residual T-N and total phosphorous (T-P) were removed by the algal periphyton treatment system. The final concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorous in the drain water were 53 and 7 mg/L, respectively.     

Single-stage anaerobic codigestion for mixture wastes of simulated Korean food waste and waste activated sludge

Korean food waste was treated with a single-stage anaerobic codigester (SSAD) using waste activated sludge (WAS) generated from a municipal wastewater treatment plant. The stability and performance of the system was analyzed. The C/N ratio was improved with increasing food waste fraction of feed mixture. The pH, alkalinity, and free ammonia nitrogen concentration were the parameters used to evaluate the digester’s stability. The experimentally determined values of the parameters indicated that there were no methane inhibitions in the digester. Digester performance was determined by measuring the total chemical oxygen demand TCOD), volate solids (VS) removal, methane content in biogas, methane production rate (MPR), and specific methane productivity. Methane content in biogas and MPR were significantly dependent on hydraulic retention time (HRT) and ratio of food waste to WAS. The methane content in biogas decreased at shorter HRT or higher organic loading rate (OLR) with increased food waste fraction. Concerning the performance of the codigester, the optimum operating condition of the SSAD was found to be at an HRT of 10 d with a feed mixture ratio of 50% food waste and 50% WAS. A TCOD removal efficiency of 53.6% and a VS removal efficiency of 53.7% were obtained at an OLR of 5.96 kg of TCOD/(m³·d) and 3.14 kg of VS/(m³·d), respectively. A maximum MPR of 1.15 m³ CH₄/(m³·d) and an SMP of 0.37 m³ CH₄/kg of VS_feed were obtained at an HRT of 10 d with a methane content of 63%.

At same operating condition, 84.5% color reduction of 500 mg/L dye, and 79.42% COD reduction of 413 mg/L COD achieved for MDW. The second order Grau model was fitted well for COD and dye reductions. The kinetics parameter were evaluated for both the dye water.
