TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER WITH A HIGH C/N RATIO IN SEQUENCING BATCH BIOREACTOR (SBBR) CONTAINING BIOCARRIER Autori: Beenish SabaData aparitiei: Noiembrie / 2017 Revista: Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 16 › Nr. 11 ISSN: 1843 - 3707 N.A.Wastewater treatment using sequencing batch reactor (SBR) has certain advantages over conventional activated sludge system. The performance of sequencing batch reactor in treating high C/N ratio was investigated with suspended polyurethane and polystyrene attached growth biomass configuration. A sequence of 4 hr HRT, 0.3 month SRT and 1kg COD/m3 was employed to study treatment efficacy. Treatment performance was assessed by means of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) removal. Operational parameters were pH, dissolve oxygen (DO), suspended solids (SS), volatile solids (VS), Sludge volume index (SVI), sludge density index (SDI) and these parameters were monitored throughout the operational period. COD removal in suspended growth biofilm bioreactor (SGSBBR) was 96.6±1.5 and in attached growth biofilm bioreactor (AGSBBR PU) 97.1±1.2; (AGSBBR PS) was 96.7±0.96. COD removal efficiency of both systems was almost equal however TN and TP removal of AGSBBR was 6-7% higher than SGSBBR. Ratio of mixed liquor suspended and volatile growth of biomass ranges from 1-3. Adsorption of naphthalene was also observed in batch experiments on biomass at variable pH. Acidic pH provide reducing medium in solution and enhanced adsorption. Enhanced performance of AGSBBR with addition of media provides attachment surface and enhances mineral removal efficiency. |
