  4. Biological Processes for wastewater treatment Activated sludge process Aerated lagoons

  5. INTRODUCTION Objectives of Biological Treatment: a) Transform (i.e., oxidize) dissolved and particulate biodegradable constituent s by microorganisms into acceptable end products, b) Capture and incorporate suspended and non-settleable colloidal solids into a biological floc or biofilm, c) Transform and remove nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus.. why??? d) In some cases, remove specific trace organic constituents and compounds.

  9. Composition & Classification of Microorganisms ** Revise the cell components, compositions, structure, DNA, RNA, microbial Growth & metabolism, C & N sources …

  10. Aerobic, heterotrophic Aerobic, autotrophic Anaerobic, heterotrophic

  11. Bacterial reproduction: In 30 min of generation time (time required bacteria to divide into 2 organisms) 1 bacterium would yield ~ 17 x 106 bacteria in 12 h and the mass ~ 8.4 µg Biomass yield Y = g (biomass produced) / g (substrate consumed)

  12. Microbial Growth Kinetics Growth kinetics govern the substrate oxidation and biomass production TSS conc. in biological reactor • Organic compounds mostly defined as biodegradable COD (bCOD) or ultimate carbonaceous BOD (UBOD). bCOD and UBOD comprise of soluble (dissolved), colloidal and particulate biodegradable components. • Biomass solids in bioreactor = TSS & VSS • The mixture of solids resulting from combining recycled sludge with influent wastewater in bioreactor = mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS)

  13. Rate of utilization of soluble substrates (-ve : substrate decreases with time) rsu = rate substrate conc. change due to utilization, g/m3.d k = max specific substrate utilization rate, g substrate/ g microbe . D Ks= substrate conc. at one-half max substrate utilization rate g/m3

  14. 2) Rate of Biomass Growth with soluble substrate 3) Rate of oxygen uptake

  15. 4) Effects of temperature

  16. 5) Total volatile suspended solids & Active biomass

  17. Example 7-5 Determine Biomass and Solids Yields For an industrial wastewater activated sludge process, the amount of bsCOD in the influent wastewater is 300 g/m3 and the influent nbVSS concentration is 50 g/m3 . The influent flowrate is 1000 m3 /d, the biomass concentration is 2000 g/m3, the reactor bsCOD concentration is 15 g/m3 , and the reactor volume is 105 m3. If the cell debris fraction fd is 0.10, determine: • The net biomass yield • The observed solids yield • And the biomass fraction in the MLVSS

  18. Solution: ? ?

  19. Aerobic Biological Oxidation Wide range of microorganisms used: Ex: Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria able to produce extracellular biopolymers that result in the formation of biological flocs, then separated by gravity settling. • Protozoa: consume free bacteria and colloidal particulates – aid effluent clarification.

  20. Stoichiometry: Electron acceptor Electron donor

  21. Biological Nitrification Nitrification: 2-step biological processes; • Ammonia (NH4-N) is oxidized to nitrite (NO2-N) • Nitrite is oxidized to nitrate (NO3-N) Why?? • Ammonia – associate DO conc. & fish toxicity • Need for nitrogen removal: – control eutrophication & water-reuse application

  22. Stoichiometry: Nitroso-bacteria (Nitrosococcus, Nitrosospira, etc): 2NH4+ + 3O2 2NO2- + 4H+ + 2H2O (Nitrobacter, Nitrococcus, Nitrospina, etc):

  23. Anaerobic Fermentation & Oxidation Three basic steps in anaerobic oxidation of wastes: • Hydrolysis: particulate material is converted to soluble compounds that can then be hydrolyzed further to simple monomers that are used by bacteria that perform fermentation. 2) Fermentation (or acidogenesis): Amino acids, sugars, and some fatty acids are degraded further. The principle products are acetate, H2, CO2, and propionate and butyrate. Acetate, H2, CO2  precursors of methane formation (Methanogenesis)

  24. 3) Methanogenesis: Carried out by 2 groups of microorganisms (or Methanogens): a) Aceticlastic methanogens – split acetate into methane and CO2 CH3COOH CH4 + CO2 b) Hydrogen-utilizing methanogens - use H2 as electron donor and CO2 as the electron acceptor to produce methane

  25. Nuisance organisms in anaerobic fermentation - When the wastewater contains significant concentrations of sulfate - Sulfate-reducing bacteria can reduce sulfate to sulfide (toxic to methanogenic bacteria) - Then, how to solve?? How??

  26. Environmental factors: • Anaerobic processes are sensitive to pH & inhibitory substances (ex: NH3, H2S, etc.) • pH near neutral  preferred ; • pH below 6.8  methanogenic activity is inhibited • Due to about 30-35 % CO2 (high) produced in anaerobic process, high alkalinity is needed to neutralize pH • Range of alkalinity, i.e., 3000-5000 mg/L as CaCO3 is often found. In industrial wastewater applications which mainly contain carbohydrates, it is necessary to add alkalinity for pH control.
