  2. OBJECTIVES OF BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT To transform (eg. Oxidize) dissolved and particulate biodegradable constituents into acceptable end products Capture and incorporate suspended and nonsettleable colloidal solids into a biological floc or biofilm Transform or remove nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. Remove specific trace organic constituents and compounds. ERT 417/4WASTE TREATMENT IN BIOPROCESS INDUSTRY SEM 1 (2009/2010)

  3. ROLE OF MICROORGANISMS IN WW TREATMENT • To remove dissolved and particulate carbonaceous BOD • and the stabilization of organic matter found in ww. • microorganisms are used to; • oxidize (convert) the dissolved and particulate • carbonaceous organic matter into simple end • products and additional biomass. • Remove N2 and P in ww treatment process • Oxidizing NH3 (nitrification) to nitrite and nitrate • Reduce the oxidized nitrogen to gaseous nitrogen. • Biomass (S.G > H2O) can be removed from the treated • liquid by gravity settling.

  4. TYPES OF BIOLOGICAL PROCESS FOR WW TREATMENT A)Suspended Growth Process B) Attached Growth Process • A) Suspended Growth Process • Biological treatment processes in which microorganism responsible for the conversion of the organic matter or other constituent to gases or cell tissue. • The microorganism responsible for treatment are maintained in liquid suspension by appropriate mixing methods. • Operated with a +ve DO conc but applications exist where suspended growth anaerobic reactors are used such as for high organic conc industrial ww and organic sludges. • Most common suspended growth process used is activated sludge process and aerated lagoon ERT 417/4WASTE TREATMENT IN BIOPROCESS INDUSTRY SEM 1 (2009/2010)

  6. Activated sludge? • activated sludge: microbial aggregates (flocs) in the aeration tank. • Flocs stay in suspension with mixing by aeration. • Recycle of the activated sludge is crucial to maintaining a high concentration of cells.

  8. B) Attach Growth Process • The microorganisms responsible for the conversion of organic material or nutrients are attached to an inert packing material. • The organic material and nutrients are removed from the wastewater flowing past the attached growth also known as biofilm. • Packing materials used include; • Rock • Gravel • Sand • Wide range of plastic • Other synthetic materials. • Can be operated as aerobic as aerobic or anaerobic processes.

  9. Attach Growth Process (continue….) • The packaging can be submerged completely in liquid or not submerged with air or gas space above the biofilm liquid layer. • The most common aerobic attach growth process used is trickling filter and rotating biological contactors ERT 417/4WASTE TREATMENT IN BIOPROCESS INDUSTRY SEM 1 (2009/2010)

  12. CLASSIFICATION OF MICROORGANISM • NOTE; • Autotrophic- organism that derive cell carbon from CO2 • Heterothrophic – organism use organic carbon for formation new biomass ERT 417/4WASTE TREATMENT IN BIOPROCESS INDUSTRY SEM 1 (2009/2010)

  13. MICROORGANISM IN WW • Bacteria: major component • Fungi: low pH, toxicity, N deficient waste • Protozoa: gazing on bacteria • Rotifers: multicellular organism (help to floc formation) • Algae: supply oxygen to ww. • Organic/ inorganic particle ERT 417/4WASTE TREATMENT IN BIOPROCESS INDUSTRY SEM 1 (2009/2010)

  14. Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria are main “activated”organisms. • →Microbial community is highly diverse and competative. • Floc formation is really key –individual bacteria do not settle fast enough to be captured in the settling tank. Cells not in flocs are washed out. • The suspended flocs particles are called “activated”. ERT 417/4WASTE TREATMENT IN BIOPROCESS INDUSTRY SEM 1 (2009/2010)

  15. BACTERIAL GROWTH & BIOMASS YIELD • BIOMASS GROWTH • Mostly organic materials • An increase of biomass can be measured by VSS, particulate COD or TSS • Other parameter to indicate biomass growth are DNA, protein content and ATP. • VSS used as an apparent indicator of biomass production (measure of reactor solid in general) - BIOMASS YIELD ERT 417/4WASTE TREATMENT IN BIOPROCESS INDUSTRY SEM 1 (2009/2010)

Max specific substrate utilization rate, g substrate/g microb .day RATE OF UTILIZATION OF SOLUBLE SUBSTRATE Biomass (microorganism) conc, g/m3 Growth-limiting substrate conc in solution, g/m3 Rate of substrate conc change due to utilization (g/m3.day) - Half velocity constant (substrate conc at one-half the max specific substrate utilization rate, g/m3) Substrate= the term used to denote the organic matter or nutrients that are converted during biological treatment or that may be limiting in biological treatment. Eg. Carbonaceous organic matter is ww is referred as the substrate that is converted during biological treatment. ERT 417/4WASTE TREATMENT IN BIOPROCESS INDUSTRY SEM 1 (2009/2010)

  17. Rate of change of substrate utilization vs biodegradable soluble COD conc based on saturation type model. max From figure, max substrate utilization rate occurs at high substrate conc. In practice, biological treatment systems are designed to produce an effluent with extremely low substrate value. When the substrate is being used at its max rate, the bacteria are also growing at their max rate.
