Abstract

In wastewater treatment plants, the biological nitrogen removal (BNR) has acquired critical importance, which makes that in the majority of the cases the overall process control largely depends on the control of this treatment. The normal aerobic process of nitrification is performed by specific aerobic living microorganisms and a lack of information on their bioactivity may be cause of confusion in terms of control and monitoring criteria. For this reason, the application of the BM Respirometry, for the goal of getting a determined performance within the frame of energy optimization, has achieved an important role for essential information about the actual nitrification situation but also in other situations under different conditions for the process development.

    IntroductionThe use of the BM advanced respirometry system enables the user to get the precise calculation of the operating parameters and limit set points that any activated sludge actually needs within the framework of an energy optimization. For that reason, the proper use of this respirometry is more than justified; and not only because of getting the parameters for a good process performance, but also to keep a healthy biomass and prevent possible potential problems.However, because of the wide range of...

    The problem of Oils in the Activated Sludge ProcessIn many activated sludge plants excessive oils discharges can give rise to Nocardia foaming which causes major operational problems. While the bulk of the oils are removed in Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) units or grease interceptors the remainder must be treated in the wastewater treatment system. But however, in case of high concentration, this remainder oils can create important problems on the normal operation of the activated sludge process.The plant of the...

According to the bioassays and ecotoxicity results from laboratories, the wastewater has got a high...

  • Using respirometry for energy optimization in a nitrifying biological wastewater treatment system

    ABSTRACT Many wastewater treatment plants use more than 50% of their total energy budget in the aeration basin and, when nutrient removal is included in the activated sludge process, it is very common that the majority of oxygen uptake goes to the nitrification process. For that reason, in most wastewater treatment plants, energy optimization is focused on nitrification management. This information can be obtained in different ways, but perhaps the most direct way is based on the correct control of the minimum...

    PreliminariesThis service is carried out from the agreement reached by Surcis with an engineering company to conduct a study on the approach to analyze the influence of temperature and pH in a municipal wastewater treatment plant provided with a tricking filter process with small stones (as biomass carriers), where there is a very poor nitrification process performance.This biological process is designed to remove organics and ammonium nitrogen. However, in winter time, the process operates under relatively low...
