Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new development for the treatment of domestic wastewater is a technology based on aerobic granular sludge. Granular sludge can be developed under specific process conditions. Because of the unique properties of this granular sludge, high volumetric loading rates of aeration tanks can be applied. Thanks to excellent settling properties, the separation of treated wastewater and granular sludge can take place at high hydraulic loading rates. Depending on the chosen process configuration good effluent quality can be obtained, complying with the stringent effluent requirements regarding nitrogen and phosphorus, which can be expected in the future. In this way aerobic granular sludge has the potential to contribute significantly to wastewater treatment management. This report describes the results of research carried out at the Technical University of Delft.

Download or read book Biogranulation Technologies for Wastewater Treatment written by Joo-Hwa Tay and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2006-06-16 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial granules have practical importance in anaerobic and aerobic biological wastewater treatment. Advantages of granules are retention of biomass in reactor, diversity of microorganisms, complex structure, and resistance to unfavorable conditions. Microbial granules can be used to treat municipal and industrial wastewater for removal of organic matter, xenobiotics, nutrients, and heavy metals. The book covers almost all aspects of formation and use of microbial granules in wastewater treatment. The data on aerobic microbial granulation are related mostly to laboratory systems due to few pilot systems in the world using aerobic microbial granules. However, by the analogy with anaerobic granulation, which is now used worldwide, it is possible to predict wide applications of aerobic granulation. This book will help researchers and engineers develop these new biotechnologies of wastewater treatment based on aerobic granulation. Covers all aspects of formation, organization, and use of microbial granules in wastewater treatment Integrates engineering, microbiology, and biotechnology of microbial granules Comprises of deep fundamental data as well as practical information for applications of microbial granules in wastewater treatment

Download or read book Development of a Continuous Flow Reactor for Aerobic Granular Sludge written by Tanner Devlin and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerobic granular sludge is an advanced biological process that provides sustainable wastewater treatment. Compared to conventional wastewater treatment processes, aerobic granular sludge exhibits better settling, higher volumetric loading, reduced chemical and electrical requirements, and less biosolids production. Currently, aerobic granular sludge is only available as a sequencing batch reactor process. Sequencing batch reactors, however, would not be suitable for retrofit at most existing wastewater treatment facilities. Therefore, many facilities would not be able to realize the benefits of aerobic granular sludge unless significant changes to existing infrastructure were made. A more compatible technology, being a continuous flow reactor, would facilitate the implementation of aerobic granular sludge into existing facilities that would otherwise struggle with sequencing batch reactors. Thus, the goal of these studies was to develop a continuous flow reactor for aerobic granular sludge that would be suitable for retrofit into existing wastewater treatment facilities. To attain the goal, several items had to be addressed, including: 1) the suitability of aerobic granular sludge to treat low-strength, municipal wastewater; 2) the importance of hydrodynamic shear force for aerobic granular sludge stability; 3) the role of organic loading rate on aerobic granular sludge stability and performance; 4) the impact of selective wasting on granulation in continuous flow; and 5) the impact of reactor configuration on granulation in continuous flow. For more general items, such as suitability for low-strength wastewater and the role of hydrodynamic shear force, lab-scale sequencing batch reactors were used. The remaining tests were carried out in lab- and pilot-scale continuous flow reactors. Based on the results, design and operational parameters for an aerobic granular sludge-continuous flow reactor were developed and confirmed to be feasible for the treatment of low-strength, municipal wastewater.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents recent developments in advanced biological treatment technologies that are attracting increasing attention or that have a high potential for large-scale application in the near future. It also explores the fundamental principles as well as the applicability of the engineered bioreactors in detail. It describes two of the emerging technologies: membrane bioreactors (MBR) and moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR), both of which are finding increasing application worldwide thanks to their compactness and high efficiency. It also includes a chapter dedicated to aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology, and discusses the main features and applications of this promising process, which can simultaneously remove organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus and is considered a breakthrough in biological wastewater treatment. Given the importance of removing nitrogen compounds from wastewater, the latest advances in this area, including new processes for nitrogen removal (e.g. Anammox), are also reviewed. Developments in molecular biology techniques over the last twenty years provide insights into the complex microbial diversity found in biological treatment systems. The final chapter discusses these techniques in detail and presents the state-of-the-art in this field and the opportunities these techniques offer to improve process performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.
