Bioaugmentation In Sewer Network Reduces Sludge Production

This article describes the effectiveness of bioaugmentation in the sewer network as a strategy to reduce sludge production. Sludge is an obvious by-product generated from the physical, chemical and biological treatment processes of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) as shown in Figure 1. Sludge management, which includes treatment, hauling, and disposal, is one of the biggest burdens facing ...

Bioaugmentation in Sewer network reduces sludge production case study

Sludge is an obvious by-product generated from the physical, chemical and biological treatment processes of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) as shown in Figure 1. Sludge management, which includes treatment, hauling, and disposal, is one of the biggest burdens facing municipal plants. The costs of sludge management account for 55% of the total WWTP operating cost and 35° o of the capital ...

DOD evaluates bioaugmentation for remediating low-pH aquifers

The US Department of Defense (DOD) has completed pilot-scale work on the 'MAG-1' site at Fort Dix, NJ, to test suitability of anaerobic bioremediation for an aquifer with low pH. Project results will be used to design full-scale ground-water treatment at MAG-1. In addition, technical criteria gained from the demonstration will be integrated into DOD’s remediation strategy for its many facilities ...

KB-1® Bioaugmentation Leading to Site Closure

Problem DefinitionIn 2004, the site was an active manufacturing facility with plume trichloroethene (TCE) concentrations ranging from 1 to 20 milligrams per liter (mg/L), and hexavalent chromium (Cr[VI]) ranging from 0.5 to 7 mg/L. Intermediate degradation products of TCE were present in only trace concentrations in this primarily aerobic aquifer. The site source area was excavated in March ...

Using bioaugmentation to reduce risks and costs associated with vapor intrusion

The risk driver for remedial action on many sites is potential vapor intrusion hazard. While mitigation of the vapors entering the structure can reduce the risk to an acceptable level, there are associated long-term monitoring, operation and maintenance costs. Bioremediation of the source of vapors can reduce the risk and eliminate long-term costs. The vapor intrusion risk is managed by ...

Full-scale KB-1® Bioaugmented Biobarrier for TCE Plume Containment

Problem DefinitionThe site is a former manufacturing facility, where a historic trichloroethene (TCE) release created a plume 1,100 feet wide and 7,000 feet long averaging 3,600 micrograms per liter (μg/ L) TCE, with a groundwater velocity of about 2 feet per day. Prior to biostimulation with electron donor, the groundwater conditions ranged from aerobic to mildly reducing and Gene-Trac DNA ...

Application of Bioaugmentation for quick restoration of microbial activity in a Cheese WWTP

The use of Bioaugmentation has been shown to be a very effective method of restoring activity in a wastwater treatment plant treating the effluent from cheese production. The plant had lost activity and in this case activity was restored without removing the existing dead biomass. This presented a considerable challenge and resulted in considerable savings for the client since the dead sludge ...

Bench and full scale evaluation of an alternative sidestream bioaugmentation process

ABSTRACT The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) has developed and is utilizing a unique sidestream treatment process that provides for nitrogen removal from high ammonia anaerobically digested sludge dewatering centrate, while producing predominantly nitrite as the ammonia oxidation product (Katehis, 2002; Fillos, 2005). The biomass produced in the sidestream ...

KB-1® Bioaugmentation for Source Area Treatment and Downgradient Plume Biobarrier Application

ProblemA trichloroethene (TCE) release at the site in the early 1980’s led to concentrations of TCE and cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) as high as 592 and 90 milligrams per liter (mg/L), respectively, in the source area, where dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) was suspected to be present. The downgradient plume had concentrations of TCE, cDCE, andvinyl chloride (VC) as high as 2, 34, and ...

Results of trials to remove BOD/COD from effluent arising from cellulosic fibre production case study

A man-made natural fibre producer had produced a new high strength, fibrillated cellulosic fibre derived from wood pulp destined for use in garment manufacture. As a result of the IPC authorisation attached to the production of this product it became necessary to establish the biodegradability of various effluent streams leaving the production plant. In order to evaluate the feasibility of ...
