Anaerobic digestion, aerobic aeration and settlement processes with a fixed sequential procedure were compacted into this reactor. By five different treatment courses, the optimization of the combined operation procedure in the system was determined to be a 12-hour cycle including an inflow process, a 4 h anaerobic digestion process, a 4 h aerobic aeration process, a 2 h settlement process and a 2 h recess process including effluent discharge process. By utilizing BRBFB to treat a synthetic dyeing wastewater, 90% of COD_ Cr is removed for a higher-concentration water (COD_ Cr 1 000-1 200 mg/L), and 82% of COD_ Cr is removed for a lower-concentration water (COD_ Cr 400-600 mg/L). Near 100% color is removal and discharging standards for industry wastewater are achieved.展开更多

At present, the most cost-effective way of treating wastewater is with biological treatment processes such as the activated sludge process, despite their long operating times. However, population increases have created a demand for more efficient means of wastewater treatment, Fluidization has been demonstrated to in- crease the efficiency of many processes in chemical and biochemical engineering, but it has not been widely used in large-scale wastewater treatment. At the University of Western Ontario, the circulating fluidized-bed bioreactor （CFBBR） was developed for treating wastewater. In this process, carrier particles develop a biofilm composed of bacteria and other microbes. The excellent mixing and mass transfer characteristics inherent to fluidization make this process very effective at treating both municipal and industrial wastewater. Studies of lab- and pilot-scale systems showed that the CFBBR can remove over 90% of the influent organic matter and 80% of the nitrogen, and produces less than one-third as much biological sludge as the activated sludge process. Due to its high efficiency, the CFBBR can also be used to treat wastewaters with high organic solid concentrations, which are more difficult to treat with conventional methods because they require longer residence times; the CFBBR can also be used to reduce the system size and footprint. In addition, it is much better at handling and recovering from dynamic loadings （i.e., varying influent volume and concentrations） than current systems. Overall, the CFBBR has been shown to be a very effective means of treating wastewa- ter, and to be capable of treating larger volumes of wastewater using a smaller reactor volume and a shorter residence time. In addition, its compact design holds potential for more geographically localized and isolat- ed wastewater treatment systems.展开更多
