Effects of operational parameters on aeration on/off time in an intermittent aeration membrane bioreactor

This study was performed to evaluate the operational parameters on aeration on/off time in an intermittent aeration membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment. The membrane bioreactor has 5.5 L of effective working volume including a microfiber membrane. The influent wastewater contained 133mg/L of BOD, 195 mg/L COD, 98 mg/L SS, 30 mg/L total nitrogen, and 3.8 mg/L total phosphorous. Operational conditions related to aeration on/off time were 8.8 h HRT, 10 LMH flux, 10 L/min air flow, and 6300 mg/L MLSS. For 2 h/cycle, aeration on/off time was operated for 12 cycles in three variations: 60/60 min, 50/70 min (I), and 40/80 min. Suction on/off time was 10/2 min, 8/2 min, and 8/2 min, respectively, but also 50/70 min (II) when aeration on/off time was operated at 8300 mg/L MLSS. The BOD removal efficiency rate of this process was higher than 97% regardless of the aeration on/off time distribution. To get higher than 82% total nitrogen removal efficiency rate, aeration off time in the reactor needs to be more than 70 min. The specific denitrification rate was 2.68 mgNO₃-N/gMv/h at 40/80 min on/off aeration times, which was 2.6 times more than at 60/60 min, and 1.4 times more than at 50/70 min (I) for 6300 mg/L MLSS. The specific nitrification rate was 1.96 mgNH₄-N/gMv/h at on/off aeration times of 50/70 min, 1.4 times less than at 40/80 min, but was ineffective for nitrification. Microbial activity was affected only a little by variation in aeration on/off time, though oxygen demand was reduced by aeration off time and allowed microbial concentration to increased. EPS (extracellular polymeric substance) per unit of microorganisms increased with aeration off time.     

长泥龄改良A2/O工艺的短程硝化反硝化除磷

为解决传统A²/O工艺硝化与除磷泥龄(SRT)之间的矛盾,进一步提高低C/N(P)比生活污水同步脱氮除磷效率,采用一种改良A²/O工艺在长SRT条件下处理生活污水.试验结果表明,该工艺可有效筛选和强化反应器内活性污泥,并大量富集长SRT的反硝化除磷菌(DPAO).通过亚硝酸盐氧化菌(NOB)淘洗阶段后,反应器在SRT=19.6d、A²O段污泥浓度(MLSS)=5.5 g·L^-1、水力停留时间(HRT)=8.2 h、污泥回流比(R)=90%、硝化液回流比(r)=250%、溶解氧(DO)=1.5～0.3 mg·L^-1,间歇曝气段HRT=4 h、曝气周期1 h曝气1 min(DO=0.3～0.5 mg·L^-1)、沉淀59 min条件下长期运行,COD、NH₄⁺-N、TP和TN的平均去除率分别为88.71%、99.2%、93.77%和89.52%,出水亚硝化率(NO₂^--N/NO_x^--N)可达97.2%,DPAO占聚磷菌(PAO)比为95.5%.污水中约72.96%的COD被DPAO合成PHA除磷,15.75%的COD由异养反硝化消耗,约41.96%和31.31%的N分别通过反硝化除磷和异养反硝化去除.剩余污泥主要由DPAO和反硝化菌增殖产生,分别占82.74%和17.24%,较传统脱氮除磷途径减少了58.76%的碳源消耗和44.6%的污泥排放.     

双污泥-诱导结晶工艺除磷脱氮试验研究

针对传统污水处理脱氮除磷工艺碳源不足、聚磷菌与硝化菌泥龄矛盾、磷资源无法有效回收利用等问题,开发出"双污泥-诱导结晶"新型工艺,对其去除有机物和脱氮除磷性能进行了考察和分析。结果表明:当进水COD为152～237mg.L-1,TP为3.92～7.68mg.L-1,TN为31.3～50.5mg.L-1,C/N比约为3.91～5.21时,COD、TN和TP平均去除率分别为93.2%、71.2%和95.7%。厌氧段COD去除量约占系统COD去除总量的85.9%。TN的去除主要由缺氧池承担,厌氧池、硝化池、缺氧池、后置曝气池TN去除量约占系统TN去除总量的31.7%、11.4%、54.9%和2.0%。结晶在除磷过程中起着主要作用,结晶除磷量平均约占总除磷量的81.5%。双污泥工艺在系统中的主要作用为辅助化学除磷和脱氮。侧流比是保证系统稳定运行的关键参数。后置曝气池对超越污泥中COD和氨氮的去除有重要作用。     

小球藻对奶牛场沼液处理能力及生物质生产的探究

为资源化处理奶牛场沼液、探究小球藻Chlorella vulgaris NIES-227对奶牛场沼液的处理能力以及生物质利用潜力,在柱式光生物反应器中利用小球藻处理沼液占比分别为25%、50%、75%和 100% 4种不同浓度的未灭菌污水。研究结果显示,各浓度污水中总氮、总磷和COD的去除率分别为36.0%～92.5%、42.8%～100%和6.9%～32.2%。在沼液占比为25%的污水中氮磷的去除率最高,氨氮、总氮和总磷的去除效率分别可达99.9%、91.0%和100%。微藻在低浓度沼液（25%～50%）中生长状态良好,在沼液占比为50%的污水中可获得最高生物质产率393.6 mg/(L·d)。但是在高浓度沼液（75%～100%）中微藻生长受到一定抑制,导致氮磷的去除效果变差。培养期间细菌的数量增长显著,促进了COD的去除。各浓度沼液生物质中总脂、总糖和蛋白质含量分别为13.2%～32.2%、12.3%～27.6%和16.2%～30.9%。实验数据表明,低浓度沼液能产生更多高能量组分的生物质,适合用作生物燃料的开发;高浓度沼液能产生含较多蛋白质的生物质,更适合用作动物饲料。     

头孢类制药废水中有机污染物的去除特性

为全面研究头孢类制药废水处理过程中有机污染物的去除特性,分析了废水中常规污染物（COD、TOC、氨氮、总氮、总磷）和残留抗生素的去除效率,并采用液液萃取/气相色谱-质谱联用（GC-MS）的方法对有机物进行定性分析。研究结果表明,废水中残留的头孢唑林去除率为99.1%,而COD、TOC、氨氮、总氮和总磷的去除率为50.0%~97.4%,出水均满足《化学合成类制药工业水污染物排放标准》（GB 21904—2008）直接排放要求。GC-MS定性分析得到52种有机污染物,其中酸酯类、胺类、杂环类物质较多,三氯甲烷、苯酚属于水中优先控制污染物;三乙胺、四氢呋喃、N,N-二甲基三甲基乙酰胺、丁酸、2-巯基咪唑、2-巯基-5-甲基-1,3,4-噻二唑等属于头孢类抗生素生产过程中的原料和中间体。以上物质均具有潜在的环境毒性,需要针对这些物质优化处理工艺,并关注其残留浓度和迁移转化过程。     

AOA-SBR工艺用于城市污水同步脱氮除磷

以城市污水为研究对象,考察了不同COD／N／P对厌氧／好氧／兼氧（AOA）．SBR工艺脱氮除磷效果的影响。经过3个月稳定运行,当COD：N：P-800：24：11时,AOA．SBR工艺对污水中有机物、氨氮和磷的去除率分别为100％、84％和93％。实验通过提高有机物浓度削弱聚磷菌（PAOs）与聚糖菌（GAOs）竞争底物的能力,抑制了PAOs好氧放磷速率。当COD=800mg／L时,GAOs和PAOs厌氧乙酸摄取量之比为l：9。此外,实验采用兼氧／好氧吸磷速率比,对反硝化聚磷菌数量（DNPAOs）进行估算,结果表明AOA-SBR工艺比值明显高于A20和AO工艺。因此,通过调节进水有机物浓度,可使DNPAOs在AOA-SBR同步脱氮除磷过程中发挥重要作用。     

改进的SBR对城市污水脱氮除磷性能的研究

阐述了影响SBR脱氮除磷的因素（如污泥颗粒化、沉淀时间、进水COD负荷等）和最佳条件。取一定体积的城市污水,测量其进水COD、氨氮、总氮、总磷,并通过向SBR反应器污水中接种城市废水絮凝污泥,设定不同的循环周期,改变每个周期的沉淀时间等改进,培养颗粒化污泥促进其对处理结果的影响。通过实验得出水力停留时间、污泥龄,曝气时间、进水负荷、以及是否投加碳源,即不同碳氮比等因素对SBR处理效果的影响,检测不同周期氮磷的去除率。     

利用普通小球藻Chlorella vulgaris C9-JN2010处理氨基酸工业废水的研究

用普通小球藻Chlorella vulgaris C9-JN2010处理氨基酸工业废水,实现废水无害化利用。在微型鼓泡式光反应器中,(25±1)℃,pH(6.5±0.5),0.1 vvm空气流速,4 000 lux,16 h:8 h光暗比条件下,分别考察小球藻在体积分数为20%、40%、60%、80%及100%的氨基酸废水中培养生物量变化及TN、TP、COD的去除率。结果表明,体积分数40%氨基酸废水处理效果最好,停留时间3～4 d,藻细胞干重、比生长速率和最大生产强度分别为0.731 g/L、0.565 d-1、0.243 g/(L.d);废水中TN、TP及COD的去除率分别为92.0%、98.0%及80.0%,对应去除强度分别为30.7、3.28、133.3mg/(L.d)。利用小球藻可以较彻底的去除氨基酸废水中氮、磷及COD等营养,达到污水处理效果。     

氧化沟不同分区脱氮除磷研究

采用混合反应器模拟氧化沟运行方式,探讨氧化沟不同好氧缺氧分区对脱氮除磷效果的影响。结果表明,在分点曝气氧化沟系统中氧传质推动力大,溶氧效率高,在相同的供氧条件下,其一个循环的好氧区比分段曝气系统好氧区长,但是分点曝气系统有机物耗氧多,DO浪费大,而分段曝气溶氧效率低,但DO的有效利用率(用于脱氮除磷)高,二者硝化能力相当,NH4+-N去除率分别为96.68%和97.03%,硝化菌活性分别为4.65、4.66 mg.g-1.h-1。在好氧区和缺氧区比例相同的条件下,分区越多,有机物被好氧异养菌利用的越多,脱氮除磷效果越差。分区减少,可以有效地增加反硝化菌对碳源的利用,对提高脱氮效果更有利。在同样的供氧条件下,分段曝气单个A/O分区长,反硝化菌和聚磷菌对碳源利用多,脱氮除磷效果优于分点曝气,在满足硝化的前提下,缺氧区和好氧区比例越大,碳源被利用的越完全,对脱氮除磷越有利,DO的有效利用率也越高,此时越接近于前置缺氧-好氧(A/O)工艺。     

Characteristics of simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal in a pilot-scale sequencing anoxic/anaerobic membrane bioreactor at various conditions

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of pilot-scale sequencing anoxic/anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAM) process under various real situations. During the pilot experiment, the effect of three important operational parameters, such as hydraulic retention time (HRT), solids retention time (SRT) and internal recycling time mode were estimated and the long-term membrane fouling behaviour was also investigated. During the operation period, the COD removal efficiency was higher than 95% regardless of change of operational conditions because the membrane significantly contributed to remove COD by the complete retention of all particulate COD and macromolecular COD components. The change of Ax/An ratio representing internal recycling time mode significantly affected on nitrogen and phosphorus removal. As increasing Ax/An ratio, nitrogen removal efficiency increased but phosphorus removal efficiency decreased. As HRT decreased, phosphorus removal efficiency increased and nitrogen removal efficiency also increased until a certain limit of HRT (6.5 h in this study). However, when HRT decreased over the limit, nitrogen removal efficiency decreased because of insufficient nitrification. Relation between phosphorus removal efficiency and SRT was a little bit complex because SRT determined both the phosphorus content in the sludge and the sludge wasting rate. However, in this study, the shorter SRT resulted in the higher phosphorus removal efficiency. The effect of changes in all operational conditions was sensitive on phosphorus rather than on nitrogen removal efficiency. The increasing in influent flowrate resulted in the increase of flux and caused a rapid membrane fouling. Thus, the flux of 7.7 L/m²/h was more desirable compared to the 10.7 or 15.4 L/m²/h in this study.     

序批式反应器中反硝化除磷脱氮的研究

为了提高污水脱氮除磷的效率,研究采用序批式反应器(SBR工艺)厌氧、好氧和缺氧(AOA)的运行方式富集反硝化聚磷菌(DPB),实现同步脱氮除磷。结果表明:在好氧段投加甲醇作为碳源(25—40 mg/L)可有效抑制好氧吸磷,对硝化反应影响较小,能够在缺氧段实现同时反硝化脱氮除磷。SBR反应器稳定运行10个月,当进水NH4+-N、PO43--P分别为30,15 mg/L时,总氮(TN)和PO43--P的平均去除率分别为82.5%和92.1%。聚磷菌能够利用硝酸盐作为电子受体,DPB占总聚磷菌的比例达到44.8%。与A2O运行方式相比,AOA运行方式更有利于实现DPB的富集。     

SBR脱氮除磷效果研究

采用模拟配制生活污水,研究SBR工艺在不同运行条件下对生物脱氮和生物除磷效果的影响。实验分别对进水不同C／N、pH值和曝气时间作比较,结果表明：当C／N-2,曝气时间为240min,进水pH-6时,氨氮去除率可达80％以上,总磷去除率可达65％以上。     

水力停留时间对生物膜/颗粒污泥耦合工艺脱氮除磷的影响

采用自主设计的悬浮载体生物膜/颗粒污泥耦合装置,利用硝化菌载体生物膜和反硝化聚磷菌颗粒污泥,研究水力停留时间对生物膜/颗粒污泥耦合工艺脱氮除磷的影响,得出最佳工艺参数。试验考查水力停留时间分别为6 h、7 h、8.5 h和10.5 h,结果表明,当水力停留时间为8.5 h时,系统的COD去除率为91.26%,氨氮和总氮的去除率分别为80.68%和70.58%,厌氧释磷速率也较稳定,为0.47 mg P·（g SS）^-1·h^-1,厌氧释磷速率最高,其碳源利用率最大,反硝化除磷效率最稳定,PO₄^3--P去除率为76.50%,反硝化除磷效率为1.04 mg P·（mg NO₃^--N）^-1,所以当水力停留时间为8.5 h时,系统具有较高的脱氮除磷效率。当水力停留时间过短时,氮磷的去除不完全,过长时,系统不稳定,系统的最优水力停留时间为8.5 h。     

Removal of nitrogen in wastewater by polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-immobilization of effective microorganisms

To remove nitrogen and carbon simultaneously from municipal wastewater, a mixture of effective microorganisms (EM) was immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel beads. The modified PVA beads with calcium alginate show characteristic pores and mechanical stability and flexibility. The EM-immobilized PVA system was established in a 3 L sequential batch reactor (SBR) with a synthetic wastewater and operated at an HRT of 12 h with COD loading rate of 0.5–2.4 g COD/L·d. In this system, intermittent aeration is more efficient than continuous aeration, and removal rates of COD and total nitrogen (T-N) were increased as the feed COD/N ratio was increased from 1.9 to 5.6. At an optimal condition, 73% of total nitrogen and 93% of COD were stably removed at a COD loading rate lower than 2.4 g COD/L·d and at 3: 1 ratio of aerobic time to anoxic time.     

生活污水的一体化反应器同步脱氮除磷研究

根据污水生物脱氮除磷原理设计了一套一体化反应器,并在其中分别投加普通生物悬浮载体和双室悬浮载体,以研究两者对生活污水同步脱氮除磷的效果。结果表明,在相同HRT下、温度控制在20～30℃和pH为6.5～7.8时,双室悬浮载体对污水总氮的平均去除率比普通生物悬浮载体的高近10%;但是两者对总磷及COD的去除效果相近,且对COD的去除效果较好,平均去除率在90%以上;Grau模型计算表明,HRT为12 h时,反应器中投加双室悬浮载体后的污水底物降解常数最大(2.18)。因此,把双室悬浮载体及其一体化反应器用于污水的同步脱氮除磷是一种高效的生活污水处理方法。     

Comparison of a sMBR and a CASP system for wastewater reclamation and re-use

The performance of a submerged membrane bioreactor (sMBR) for municipal wastewater reclamation and re-use was compared with that of a current classic activated sludge process (CASP). The average chemical oxygen demand (COD) of CASP effluent was 75 mg/l, while the average COD of sMBR filtrate was 15 mg/l. In general, COD removal was above 98%. However, the best results were obtained at a sludge rentention time (SRT) of 50 days. The total phosphorus (TP) content of the filtrate decreased to a level <1 mg/l under aerobic conditions in which aeration occurred continuously. It was shown that the filtrate TP and orthoposphate (Orto-P) concentrations increased dramatically during the periods of intermittent aeration because phosphorus is released under anoxic conditions. In the CASP effluent, the average TP and Orto-P were 7.9 mg/l and 7.1 mg/l, respectively. The filtrate was free of suspended solids (SS) and total coliform bacteria. The effluent SS in the CASP was 40 mg/l. The turbidity removal in the sMBR reached almost 99%, i.e. generally less than 1 NTU, while the average turbidity of the CASP effluent was almost 15 NTU. The removal of ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N) in the sMBR was almost 99.8%. In addition, the nitrate concentration in the filtrate decreased to 2.4 mg/l under both aerobic & anoxic conditions. It was shown that both nitrification and denitrification could be successfully reduced through intermittent aeration. Average total Kjeldehl nitrogen (TKN) and NH₄⁺-N in the CASP effluent were 30.2 mg/l and 20 mg/l, respectively, i.e. the nitrification efficiency was 42.9%, and the denitrification value was not available. When these results are compared with those in the CASP, it indicated that the sMBR could be successfully used for reclamation and re-use of municipal wastewater.     

流量分配比对改良A/O分段进水脱氮除磷特性的影响

采用改良A/O分段进水工艺处理我国南方低浓度、低碳氮比城市生活污水。在进水COD/TN为5.16,HRT为8.7 h,SRT为15 d,MLSS为5.66 g·L^-1,污泥回流比为75%,厌氧/缺氧/好氧体积比为4∶8∶10条件下,通过设置6种不同进水流量分配比,控制各好氧段DO为1～1.5 mg·L^-1,经过150 d的连续运行,得到系统最佳流量分配比为20%∶35%∶35%∶10%;在此工况下COD、氨氮、总氮、总磷出水水质分别为33.05 mg·L-1、0.58 mg·L^-1、9.26 mg·L^-1、0.46 mg·L^-1,出水优于国家GB 18918-2002一级A排放标准。原水COD绝大部分作为厌氧释磷和反硝化脱氮所需碳源,系统对碳源有效利用率达74%;DO和ORP 的协同控制可以作为系统厌氧放磷段的控制参数;同时亦可作为缺氧段反硝化完成和好氧段硝化完成的指示性参数。     

Optimum Process Parameters for the Treatment of Landfill Leachate Using Powdered Activated Carbon Augmented Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) Technology

The sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process was used for the treatment of raw landfill leachate. Optimum preliminary parameters of leachate/activated sludge ratio, powdered activated carbon (PAC) dosage, and settling time were studied. Optimum obtained parameters (mixing ratio of 10%, PAC dosage of 10 g/L, and settling time of 1.5 h) were applied on two types of SBRs, namely, non-powdered and powdered activated carbon (NPAC and PAC, respectively). Consequently, the effect of factors, the aeration rate and contact time, on both NPAC and PAC reactors were studied. Response surface methodology was used for the design, analysis, and optimization of the experiments. Removal efficiencies of ammonia (NH₃-N), color, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved salts (TDS), and sludge volume index (SVI) were measured for 13 experiments. Based on the obtained results, the optimum aeration rate and contact time for both NPAC and PAC reactors were 2 and 1 L/min and 5.56 and 5.5 h, respectively. Better performance (in terms of NH₃-N, color, COD, and TDS removal efficiencies and SVI values) was exhibited by PAC reactors rather than NPAC.     

Role of intermittent aeration in domestic wastewater treatment by submerged membrane activated sludge system

In this study, the treatment of domestic wastewater in a lab-scale submerged membrane activated sludge system (sMBR) was investigated under different aeration intervals. The COD concentration of the system effluent varied generally between 5 and 25 mg/l and the COD removal at the organic loads of 0.6-0.8 kg COD/m³.d was observed to be above 98%. The total phosphorus content of the filtrate was decreased to a level that was less than 1 mg/l under the aerobic conditions in which the aeration was continuously made. A dramatic increase in the total phosphorus content of filtrate was observed under the aerobic + anoxic conditions in which the aeration was made at differential intervals. The filtrate was free of suspended solid (SS) and total coliform bacteria and a percent removal of 100 was achieved in terms of these parameters. The influent turbidity removal was 97-99.8%. Generally, the removal of total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) and ammonium nitrogen varied in the ranges of 87.8-99.1% and in the ranges of 89.4-99.8%, respectively. While the nitrate concentrations in the filtrate increased to 26.8 mg/l under the aerobic conditions, it was determined that this value was decreased to 2.4 mg/l under the aerobic + anoxic conditions.     

A2O工艺缺氧生物磷去除

A lab-scale anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A2O) process used to treat a synthetic brewage wastewater was investigated. The objectives of the study were to identify the existence of denitrifying phosphorus removing bacteria (DPB), evaluate the contribution of DPB to biological nutrient removal and enhance the denitrifying phosphorus removal in A2O bioreactors. Sludge analysis confirmed that the average anoxic P uptake accounted for approximately 70% the total amount of P uptake, and the ratio of anoxic P uptake rate to aerobic P uptake rate was 69%. In addition, nitrate concentration in the anoxic phase and different organic substrate introduced into the anaerobic phase had significant effect on the anoxic P uptake. Compared with conventional A2O processes, good removal efficiencies of COD, phosphorus, ammonia and total nitrogen (92.3%, 95.5%, 96% and 79.5%, respectively) could be achieved in the anoxic P uptake system, and aeration energy consumption was saved 25%. By controlling the nitrate recirculation flow in the anoxic zone, anoxic P uptake could be enhanced, which solved the competition for organic substrates among poly-P organisms and denitrifiers successfully under the COD limiting conditions. Therefore, in wastewater treatment plants the control system should be applied according to the practical situation to optimize the operation.
