Effects of cationic polymer on start‐up and granulation in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors

The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) has been used successfully to treat a variety of industrial wastewaters. It offers a high degree of organics removal, low sludge production and low energy consumption, along with energy production in the form of biogas. However, two major drawbacks are its long start‐up period and deficiency of active biogranules for proper functioning of the process. In this study, the influence of a coagulant polymer on start‐up, sludge granulation and the associated reactor performance was evaluated in four laboratory‐scale UASB reactors. A control reactor (R1) was operated without added polymer, while the other three reactors, designated R2, R3 and R4, were operated with polymer concentrations of 5 mg dm^?3, 10 mg dm^?3 and 20 mg dm^?3, respectively. Adding the polymer at a concentration of 20 mg dm^?3 markedly reduced the start‐up time. The time required to reach stable treatment at an organic loading rate (OLR) of 4.8 g COD dm^?3 d^?1 was reduced by more than 36% (R4) as compared with both R1 and R3, and by 46% as compared with R2. R4 was able to handle an OLR of 16 g COD dm^?3 d^?1 after 93 days of operation, while R1, R2 and R3 achieved the same loading rate only after 116, 116 and 109 days respectively. Compared with the control reactor, the start‐up time of R4 was shortened by about 20% at this OLR. Granule characterization indicated that the granules developed in R4 with 20 mg dm^?3 polymer exhibited the best settleability and methanogenic activity at all OLRs. The organic loading capacities of the reactors were also increased by the addition of polymer. The maximum organic loading of the control reactor (R1) without added polymer was 19.2 g COD dm^?3 d^?1, while the three polymer‐assisted reactors attained a marked increase in organic loading of 25.6 g COD dm^?3 d^?1. Adding the cationic polymer could result in shortening of start‐up time and enhancement of granulation, which may in turn lead to improvement in the efficiency of organics removal and loading capacity of the UASB system.

The influence of influent distribution and blood content of slaughterhouse wastewater on the performance of an anaerobic fixed‐film reactor

This paper evaluates the performance of a laboratory‐scale anaerobic fixed‐film reactor (AFFR) with arranged media treating slaughterhouse wastewater. The reactor was operated at 20 °C, its organic loading rate was increased from 1.8 to 9.2 kg COD m^?3 d^?1, and it had a short hydraulic residence time (5–9 h). The influence of wastewater concentrations on its performance was studied by artificially increasing the blood content of the wastewater. The efficiency of the removal of organic matter decreased from 70% to 54% as the superficial velocity increased from 0.12 to 0.97 m h^?1, due mainly to distribution defects, as had been confirmed experimentally by tracer tests. The kinetics of the anaerobic processes was limited by substrate availability, even at high COD concentrations (between 700 and 1100 mg dm^?3) due to a high content of slowly biodegradable and inert compounds present in the wastewater from the slaughterhouse. It was observed that a large amount of the organic matter had accumulated inside the reactor instead of being removed by methanogenic digestion. Furthermore, the fraction of organic matter held inside the reactor varied significantly in relation to the blood content of the wastewater. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry

Modeling and simulation of the sequencing batch reactor at a full‐scale municipal wastewater treatment plant

In this work, we attempted to modify the Activated Sludge Model No.3 and to simulate the performance of a full‐scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) plant for municipal wastewater treatment. The long‐term dynamic data from the continuous operation of this SBR plant were simulated. The influent wastewater composition was characterized using batch measurements. After incorporating all the relevant processes, the sensitivity of the stoichiometric and kinetic coefficients for the model was thoroughly analyzed prior to the model calibration. The modified model was calibrated and validated with the data from both batch‐ and full‐scale experiments. Model predictions were compared with routine data in terms of chemical oxygen demand, NH₄⁺‐N and mixed liquid volatile suspended solids in the SBR, combined with batch experimental data under different conditions. The model predictions match the experimental results well, demonstrating that the model is appropriate to simulate the performance of a full‐scale wastewater treatment plant even operated under perturbation conditions. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009

CO2 methanation: Optimal start‐up control of a fixed‐bed reactor for power‐to‐gas applications

Utilizing volatile renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind) for chemical production systems requires a deeper understanding of their dynamic operation modes. Taking the example of a methanation reactor in the context of power‐to‐gas applications, a dynamic optimization approach is used to identify control trajectories for a time optimal reactor start‐up avoiding distinct hot spot formation. For the optimization, we develop a dynamic, two‐dimensional model of a fixed‐bed tube reactor for carbon dioxide methanation which is based on the reaction scheme of the underlying exothermic Sabatier reaction mechanism. While controlling dynamic hot spot formation inside the catalyst bed, we prove the applicability of our methodology and investigate the feasibility of dynamic carbon dioxide methanation. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 63: 23–31, 2017     

Dry anaerobic batch digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste

Anaerobic digestion at high solid concentrations (dry anaerobic digestion) is an attractive method for the stabilization of solid organic wastes. A new concept for dry anaerobic batch digestion (BIOCEL) of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste is presented. The start up of a BIOCEL reactor was studied with several methods of process set up and operation. Dry anaerobic digestion of the pure undiluted organic fraction obtained from a shredding/separation process was not accelerated by partial spatial separation of substrate and methanogenic inoculum (granular sludge) or leachate recycle, or both. With these three methods after 30 days the high organic acids concentration and low pH in the reactor indicated a sour reactor, unable to establish significant methane production. When the organic fraction was digested in combination with compost addition (40% (w/w) of the initial solids) and leachate recycle, the stabilization rate increased significantly. Leachate recycling in combination with partial spatial separation of the substrate/compost mixture and the inoculum showed the shortest lag phase in the methane production and the shortest digestion time. When the digested residue of a completed digestion was applied as the methanogenic inoculum (40% (w/w) of the initial total solids) the digestion time was slightly shorter. It is concluded that dilution with compost had a positive effect on the start up of the dry anaerobic digestion and compensated for a suboptimal amount of initial methanogenic biomass. During the start up of dry anaerobic batch digestion of municipal solid waste the rapid recovery of methane formation from an initial overloading was observed and was found to be the result of a population shift in the methanogenic biomass and the existence of zones in the reactor with more optimal conditions (higher p H, lower organic acids concentration). The observed digestion time was 36 days. Recommendations are given to shorten the period needed, for complete digestion.

Straw bed priming enhances the methane yield and speeds up the start‐up of single‐stage,high‐solids anaerobic reactors treating plant biomass

A simple and potentially inexpensive implementation of a high‐solids reactor is a single‐stage, stratified bed reactor, in which the bed is made up of the plant biomass fed into the system. In the present study, the stratified bed was started up for a period of four weeks by either direct feeding of sugar beet leaves at four different feeding rates, or by introducing a straw bed primer which was batch digested without feeding. During weeks five to six both systems were fed with sugar beet leaves at such a rate that the total amount of beet leaves added at the end of week six was the same in each of the four corresponding pairs of straw and ‘no‐straw’ reactors. Straw bed priming enhanced the methane yield of the sugar beet leaves, with 0.33–0.37 m³ kg^?1 VS_added (volatile solids) accumulated at average solid retention times as short as 11–25 days, while the ‘no‐straw’ reactors had lower yields at longer average solid retention times. The levels and speciation of the organic acids suggested that both the rate and extent of the anaerobic digestion of the sugar beet leaves added in the straw reactors were improved. At the highest loading rate, the straw reactor failed, while the ‘no‐straw’ reactor did not. It is hypothesised that the microbial biomass was better established in the straw reactors than in the ‘no‐straw’ reactors. Copyright © 2006 Society of Chemical Industry     

The effect of an enzymatic pretreatment on the hydrolysis and size reduction of fat particles in slaughterhouse wastewater

The effect of an enzymatic pretreatment, Pancreatic Lipase 250 (PL‐250), on the hydrolysis and size reduction of fat particles in slaughterhouse wastewater was characterised for enzyme doses ranging from 125 to 1000 mg dm^?3 and initial particle sizes (D_in) varying between 53 and 383 µm. Treatment with PL‐250 significantly reduced the size of pork fat particles in slaughterhouse wastewater. Particle size reduction increased with D_in, possibly due to the more filamentous and plate‐like configuration of the larger fat particles, which could be easily broken at weak points. The smaller particles were observed to be denser and more spherical. Size reduction also increased with enzyme concentration, but the benefit of adding more enzyme diminished greatly as enzyme dose was increased. The maximum long‐chain fatty acid (LCFA) concentration in filtered samples was detected after 4–7 h of treatment and ranged from 8.2 to 34.9 mg dm^?3. The linear rate of LCFA released in solution during enzymatic pretreatment ranged from 39.4 to 169.9 mg dm^?3 d^?1, and increased with enzyme concentration up to 500 mg dm^?3. At a PL‐250 concentration of 1000 mg dm^?3, the LCFA release rate decreased, maybe due to excessive layering of adsorbed enzyme on the fat particles or increased degradation of released LCFAs. The pretreatment appeared to be more efficient with beef than pork fat particles. However, the effect of an enzymatic pretreatment on a downstream anaerobic treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater containing fat particles remains to be tested. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry     

A kinetic evaluation of the anaerobic digestion of two‐phase olive mill effluent in batch reactors

A comparative kinetic study was carried out on the anaerobic digestion of two‐phase olive mill effluent (TPOME) using three 1‐dm³ volume stirred tank reactors, one with freely suspended biomass (control), and the other two with biomass supported on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and bentonite (aluminium silicate), respectively. The reactors were batch fed at mesophilic temperature (35 °C) using volumes of TPOME of between 50 and 600 cm³, corresponding to chemical oxygen demand (COD) loadings in the range of 1.02–14.22 g, respectively. The process followed first‐order kinetics and the specific rate constants, K₀, were calculated. The K₀ values decreased considerably from 2.59 to 0.14 d^?1, from 1.93 to 0.23 d^?1 and from 1.52 to 0.17 d^?1 for the reactors with suspended biomass (control) and biomass immobilized on PVC and bentonite, respectively, when the COD loadings increased from 1.02 to 14.22 g; this showed an inhibition phenomenon in the three reactors studied. The values of the critical inhibitory substrate concentration (S*), theoretical kinetic constant without inhibition (K_A) and the inhibition coefficient or inhibitory parameter for each reactor (n) were determined using the Levenspiel model.

The treatment of sulfate-rich wastewater using an anaerobic sequencing batch biofilm pilot-scale reactor

This paper presents the results from 92 cycles of an anaerobic sequencing batch biofilm reactor containing biomass immobilized on inert support (mineral coal) applied for the treatment of an industrial wastewater containing high sulfate concentration. The pilot-scale reactor, with a total volume of 1.2 m³, was operated at sulfate loading rates ranging from 0.15 to 1.90 kgSO₄²⁻/cycle (48 h — cycle) corresponding to sulfate concentrations of 0.25 to 3.0 gSO₄²⁻ l^− 1. Domestic sewage and ethanol were utilized as electron donors for sulfate reduction. Influent sulfate concentrations were increased in order to evaluate the minimum COD/sulfate ratio at which high reactor performance could be maintained. The mean sulfate removal efficiency remained between the range of 88 to 92% at several sulfate concentrations. Temporal profiles along the 48 h cycles were carried out under stable operation at sulfate concentrations of 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 gSO₄²⁻ l^− 1. Sulfate removal reached 99% for cycle times of 15, 25, and 30 h, and the effluents sulfate concentrations were lower than 8 mgSO₄²⁻ l^− 1. The results demonstrate the potential applicability of the anaerobic configuration for the biological treatment of sulfate-rich wastewaters.
