This book was released on 2002-01-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Process, the first in a series on the microbiology of wastewater treatment, comprises the critical topics of cost-effective operation, permit compliance, process control, and troubleshooting in wastewater treatment plants. Avoiding the technical jargon, chemical equations, and kinetics that typically accompany such texts, Nitrification and Denitrification in the Activated Sludge Process directly addresses plant operators and technicians, providing necessary information for understanding the microbiology and biological conditions that occur in the treatment process. Of special interest to wastewater treatment plant operators are the bacteria that degrade nitrogenous wastes–the nitrifying bacteria–and the bacteria that degrade carbonaceous wastes–the cBOD-removing bacteria. Both groups of bacteria need to be routinely monitored and operational conditions favorably adjusted to ensure desired nitrification. Each chapter in this groundbreaking study offers a better understanding of the importance of nitrification and denitrification and the bacteria involved in these crucial processes. Chapters include: Organotrophs The Wastewater Nitrogen Cycle Nitrite Ion Accumulation Dissolved Oxygen Denitrifying Bacteria Gaseous End Products Free Molecular Oxygen The Occurrence of Denitrification

Smith and published by Environment Canada : obtained from Training and Technology Transfer Division (Water), Environmental Protection Service, Fisheries and Environment Canada. This book was released on 1978 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full-scale nitrification-denitritication of wastewater was conducted at the Newmarket, Ontario, Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP), where primary stage lime treatment for phosphorus removal was being applied. The object of this study was to see what degree of nitrification-denitrification could be maintained within a system with lime treatment. Experiments involved denitrification mixed liquor thickening, methanol dosing and supplementary iron salt addition for phosphorus removal. Constant high (above 200 ml/g) sludge volume index (SVI) was experienced in both the nitrification and combined nitrification denitrification units at Newmarket. This was thought to be caused by lime addition to the primary stage. Full nitrogen conversion and removal were disrupted by sludge chlorination for SVI control. Sorne limitations of the conventional facility were also found to affect nitrogen removal. Supplemental addition of ferrous sulphate, late in the program, to the aeration basin improved phosphorus removal and decreased SVI. Subsequent pilot plant studies were carried out at Brampton and Kleinburg. In these a split-return mode of operation was evaluated under more controlled conditions. The requirements for methanol as a carbon source, process solids distribution, and post-aeration were evaluated for nitrification-denitrification under liquid temperatures ranging from 10 ta 25°C. Denitrification solids thickening and thus improved nitrate removal was observed. Post-aeration proved necessary to maintain low effluent suspended solids, but did contribute dissolved oxygen to the denitrification tank contents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a full-scale evaluation of the split return mode for nitrification-denitrification of a combined domestic/ industrial wastewater. The investigation, which took place from July 1974 to December 1975 at the Ontario Ministry of the Environment's Ontario Experimental Facility at Brampton, followed pilot-studies at Kleinburg, Ontario. The evaluation investigated the effect of ferric chloride addition on phosphorous removal; the effect of solids retention times and sludge ages on nitrogen reactions at various temperatures; hydrogen peroxide addition and the use of a screen centrifuge on mixed liquor conditioning; as weIl as the suitability of the system for solids control and for maintenance of consistent nitrogen removal under different temperature conditions. It was concluded that the single-sludge, split-return system gave excellent nitrogen removal with minimal methanol application.

This book was released on 2004-06-30 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nitrification kinetics were evaluated in bench-scale batch reactors fed with a synthetic wastewater containing approximately 1,000 mg ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N)/L operated at 5, 10, and 20 day solids retention times (SRTs) and with dewatered biosolids supernatant (1,126 to 1,680 mg NH3-N/L) operated at a 20-day SRT. For the 5- and 10-day SRTs, complete nitrification appeared to be inhibited by the presence of un-ionized ammonia and un-ionized nitrous acid. For the 20-day SRT, near complete nitrification was observed for both substrates. Observed ammonium oxidation rates decreased with increasing SRT. Observed yield coefficients were similar for all SRTs and substrates. Fully established steady-state conditions were observed at higher SRTs despite process start-up and operational considerations. Although it may be possible to culture a nitrifier population capable of near-complete nitrification at lower SRTs, the design configuration and operational strategy must mitigate the potential for un-ionized ammonia and un-ionized nitrous acid inhibition (e.g. process start-up at lower concentration with gradual increase to higher concentration, continuous feed operation, etc). Batch bioaugmentation analyses were conducted in the mixed liquor suspended solids and final clarifier effluent from a non-nitrifying activated sludge with seed nitrifiers developed from the 20-day SRT reactors and with biomass from a nitrifying trickling filter facility. Ammonia removal was observed in all bioaugmentation analyses with no apparent lag or acclimation period. Observed ammonium oxidation rates were not significantly different between the seed and batch bioaugmentation reactors. Acclimation does not appear to be a critical obstacle for nitrifier bioaugmentation when environmental conditions (e.g. temperature, pH, etc.) between the seed and bioaugmentation processes are not significantly different.

This book was released on 2023-02-27 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activated sludge is the most widely used biological wastewater treatment process globally to date, although its high energy demand makes it a major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions. Over recent decades it has been constantly modified and retrofitted to treat ever higher loads or improve effluent standards which have often resulted in even greater carbon emissions. Conventional activated sludge treatment is at a crossroads where new sustainable solutions are required if we are to protect the quality of our rivers and meet net-zero carbon targets.The book details current operation and design with special emphasis on the biological aspects of the process. From the microbial kinetics to the fascinating process of floc formation and development, the book explores the development of our understanding of the process looking at new sustainable designs, including biological nutrient removal and new aeration systems. Sludge separation problems and control options are explained, with a trouble-shooting guide to non-bulking problems. Environmental issues including noise, odor, aerosols, micro-plastics and nanoparticles are all reviewed, as is pathogen removal and the problem of antibiotic resistant genes and bacteria. The development of membrane bioreactors has increased process reliability and effluent quality, while integrated fixed-film activated sludge processes are more efficient and compact. The book concludes by exploring how activated sludge can become more sustainable, for example, by carbon harvesting and byproduct recovery.This interdisciplinary book is essential reading for both engineers and scientists whether training at university or practitioners and consultants in the wastewater industry.Related Link(s)

Although the activated sludge process is an efficient technology for the removal of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS), it provides less-than-optimal conditions for the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus, and presents numerous challenges to the operator trying to satisfy the many requirements for several different groups of bacteria. In addition to satisfying the requirements there are numerous, highly variable operational conditions that impact BNR. These conditions include: changes in strength and composition of the wastewater, alkalinity and pH, temperature, and presence of inhibitory and toxic wastes. Even fluctuations in flows, especially from inflow and infiltration, can adversely impact the aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic conditions needed for successful BNR. Of the three treatment processes, nitrification, denitrification, and enhanced biological removal, nitrification is often the most difficult to achieve. Therefore, a large portion of this book reviews nitrification. Operators of the activated sludge process need to understand the basic biological, chemical, and physical requirements for BNR in order to improve the performance of these treatment processes. An Operator's Guide to Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) in the Activated Sludge Process is intended to help operators in the monitoring, troubleshooting, and process control of BNR. Numerous tables and figures are included in the book to help the operator understand the biological and chemical reactions that are involved in BNR processes and how the reactions can be monitored for process control. Design of BNR processes is not addressed in this book. Design is addressed in numerous engineering publications. The book serves to help operators achieve permit compliance for nitrogen and phosphorus discharge limits and obtain cost-effective operation. -
