Effects of hydraulic retention time, temperature, and effluent recycling on efficiency of anaerobic filter in treating rural domestic wastewater

With rural population expansion and improvement of the socio-economic standard of living, treatment of rural domestic wastewater has rapidly become a major aspect of environmental concern. Selection of a suitable method for treatment of rural domestic wastewater depends on its efficiency, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. This study investigated the effects of hydraulic retention time （HRT）, temperature, and effluent recycling on the treatment efficiency of an anaerobic filter （AF） reactor. The first round of experimental operations was run for three months with HRTs of one, two, and three days, temperatures of 18℃, 21℃, and 24℃, and no effluent recycling. The second round of experimental operations was conducted for another three months with HRTs of three and four days; temperatures of 30.67℃, 30.57℃, and 26.91 ℃ ; and three effluent recycling ratios of 1：1, 1：2, and 2：1. The first round of operations showed removal rates of 32% to 44% for COD, 30% to 35% for TN, 32% to 36% for NH4-N, 19% to 23% for NO3-N, and 12% to 22% for TE In the second round of operations, the removal rates varied from 75% to 81% for COD, 35% to 41% for TN, 31% to 39% for NH4-N, 30% to 34% for NO3-N, and 41% to 48% for TP. The average gas production rates were 6.72 L/d and 7.26 L/d for the first and second rounds of operations, respectively. The gas production rate increased in the second round of operations as a result of applied effluent recycling. The best removal efficiency was obtained for an optimum HRT of three days, a temperature of 30℃, and an effluent recycling ratio of 2：1. The results show that the removal efficiency of the AF reactor was affected by HRT, temperature, and effluent recycling.

Effect of hydraulic retention time and pH on oxidation of ferrous iron in simulated ferruginous acid mine drainage treatment with inoculation of iron-oxidizing bacteria

The effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and pH on the biooxidation of ferrous iron during simulated acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment was investigated.The simulated AMD was highly acidic (pH 2.5), rich in iron (about 1700 mg/L) and copper (about 200 mg/L), and contained high concentrations of sulfate (about 4700 mg/L).The biooxidation of ferrous iron was studied in a laboratory-scale upflow packed bed bioreactor (PBR).The HRT was shortened stepwise from 40 h to 20 h, 13 h, and 8 h under the acidic environment at a pH value of 2.2.Then, the influent pH value was changed from 2.2 to 1.2 at a constant suitable HRT.Physiochemical and microbial community structure analyses were performed on water samples and stuffing collected from the bioreactor under different conditions.The results indicate that the efficiency of ferrous iron oxidation gradually decreased with the decrease of HRT, and when the HRT exceeded 13 h, ferrous iron in AMD was almost completely oxidized.In addition, the best efficiency of ferrous iron oxidation was achieved at the influent pH value of 1.8.Microbial community structure analyses show that Leptospirillum is the predominant genus attached in the bioreactor, and low influent pH values are suitable for the growth of Leptospirillum.

Determination and discussion hydraulic retention time in membrane bioreactor system

Based on the microorganism kinetic model, the formula for computing hydraulic retention time in a membrane bioreactor system (MBR) is derived. With considering HRT as an evaluation index a combinational approach was used to discuss factors which have an effect on MBR. As a result, the influencing factors were listed in order from strength to weakness as: maximum specific removal rate K , saturation constant K s, maintenance coefficient m , maximum specific growth rate μ m and observed yield coefficient Y obs . Moreover, the formula was simplified, whose parameters were experimentally determined in petrochemical wastewater treatment. The simplified formula is θ=1.1(1/β-1)(K s +S)/KX 0, for petrochemical wastewater treatment K and K s equaled 0 185 and 154.2, respectively.

Effect of Solid Retention and Hydraulic Retention Times on Membrane Fouling in Membrane Bioreactor

In this bench scale submerged membrane bioreactor, effect of solid retention time and hydraulic retention time on membrane fouling propensity has been studied. This experiment is carried out at different solid retention time of 5, 10, 30, 70 and 98 days; and fouling behavior of membrane bioreactor is investigated. Average effluent quality is found to be 88.14%-94.38%. The experiment with different hydraulic retention is carried for 3 to 4 days and fouling behavior has been investigated. The effluent quality at different hydraulic retention time of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 24 hours has been investigated. This paper aims to search optimal values of solid and hydraulic retention times at which lower fouling and higher organic removal efficiency can be obtained. This study has been mainly focused on operating parameters rather than microbial structure, effect and analysis of activated sludge to membrane fouling.

Influence of hydraulic retention time on efficiencies of high concentration PAC-MF bioreactor treating slightly polluted surface water

In this study,the influence of hydraulic retention time on feasibility,efficiency and membrane foul- ing of slightly polluted surface water treatment by a high concentration PAC-MF bioreactor were investigated. During three months operation,TOC,NH4 + -N,nitrobenzene,and TMP were measured to evaluate the MBR performance. The results show that,when HRT reduces from 3 h to 1 h,removal efficiency of TOC and ammonia-nitrite decrease a little. However,there is little effect of HRT on nitrobenzene. And the optimal hydraulic retention time is 1 h.

The Effect of Hydraulic Retention Times and Loading Rates on the Removal of Pollutants from Fish Processing Wastewater by Anaerobic Process

Anaerobic treatment model treats fish processing wastewater to be necessary for a small and medium factory that is very popular in Vietnam and other countries.Several techniques have been proposed.However,they are quite expensive and hard to operate,especially in remote areas.In this study,the hydraulic retention times(HRT)including 3,5,and 7 hours with a various organic loading rate of 1.5 to 6.5 kg COD/m3/day were investigated.Biomass concentration as mix-liquor volatile suspended solid(MLVSS)in the model is at 6,000 to 9,000 mg/L.On the basis of the result the optimal HRT with a 4.0 kg COD/m3/day organic loading rate was 8 hours which BOD5,COD removal efficiency were 92.18,87.36 percent respectively.By the end of the optimal hydraulic retention times,the total methane gas volume as a by-product was collected with 2.6 liters.

Effects of loading rate and hydraulic residence time on anoxic sulfide biooxidation

The optimal operation conditions in an anoxic sulfide oxidizing (ASO) bioreactor were investigated. The maximal removal rates for sulfide and nitrate were found to be 4.18 kg/(m3·d) and 1.73 kg/(m3·d), respectively. The volumetrical volumetric loading rates (LRs) observed through decreasing hydraulic retention time (HRT) at fixed substrate concentration are higher than those by increasing substrate concentration at fixed HRT. The sulfide oxidation in ASO reactor was partially producing both sulfate and sulfur; but the amount of sulfate produced was approximately one third that of sulfur. The process was able to tolerate high sulfide concentration, as the sulfide removal percentage always remained near 99% when influent concentration was up to 580 mg/L. It tolerated relatively lower nitrate concentration because the removal percentage dropped to 85% when influent con- centration was increased above 110 mg/L. The process can tolerate shorter HRT but careful operation is needed. Nitrate conversion was more sensitive to HRT than sulfide conversion since the process performance deteriorated abruptly when HRT was decreased from 3.12 h to 2.88 h. In order to avoid nitrite accumulation in the reactor, the influent sulfide and nitrate concentrations should be kept at 280 mg/L and 67.5 mg/L respectively. Present biotechnology is useful for removing sulfides from sewers and crude oil.

HRT对城市污水厂尾水反硝化深度脱氮的影响

污水厂尾水回用作为水源时,其ρ(TN)较高是亟待解决的问题.在调研污水厂尾水水质的基础上,利用MBBR(移动床生物膜反应器)对其进行深度脱氮,并考察HRT(水力停留时间)对不同填料(聚乙烯和陶粒)的MBBR运行效果的影响.结果表明,NO3--N是尾水中氮的主要形态,其质量浓度约占ρ(TN)的80.8%±8.4%.HRT分别为12、8和4 h时,对NO3--N去除率影响不大,均能达到90%以上,但反硝化能力随着HRT的缩短而成倍增加;HRT为4 h时各反应器的反硝化能力最大,聚乙烯和陶粒MBBR中分别为(28.4±14.5)和(27.4±14.3)mg(L·d)(以NO3--N计).随着HRT的减少,CODCr去除率呈降低趋势.三维荧光分析表明,进、出水中均含有类富里酸和类蛋白质等DOM物质.HRT为8 h时MBBR对DOM的去除率最高,聚乙烯填料MBBR对有机污染物的去除效果略优于陶粒填料.综合考虑氮和有机污染物去除效能,聚乙烯和陶粒填料MBBR优化HRT均为8 h.

厌氧段HRT对A_2N工艺反硝化除磷脱氮效果的影响

为了考察厌氧段水力停留时间(HRT)对A2N工艺反硝化除磷脱氮效果的影响,采用连续流双污泥反硝化除磷脱氮装置以生活污水为处理对象,研究了厌氧段在不同HRT时系统的除磷脱氮效果,以及厌氧段不同HRT对系统处理过程的影响。结果表明,厌氧段是A2N工艺实现反硝化除磷脱氮的关键阶段。当厌氧段的HRT过长时,虽然溶解性PO43-的总释放量增加,但是后续的缺氧吸磷量和总氮的去除量并没有相应地增加。厌氧段的HRT时间过短,反硝化聚磷菌(DPB)在此对进水中易降解COD(CODRB)吸收不完全,导致后续缺氧吸磷量下降,同时影响了系统的除磷和脱氮效果。在处理实际生活污水水质时,厌氧段的HRT为2h即可满足除磷和脱氮要求。

HRT对发酵产氢厌氧活性污泥系统的影响

HRT的改变可对发酵产氢厌氧活性污泥系统产生多方面的影响.在进水COD质量浓度为6 000 mg/L、35℃、不对进水pH值进行调节等条件下,发酵产氢厌氧活性污泥系统HRT从8 h降低为6 h时,其pH值、ALK分别从4.3和250 mg/L降低为4.2和180 mg/L,ORP从-380^-360 mV升高到-330^-300 mV,生物量虽然从8.7 gVSS/L降低到了7.2 gVSS/L,其产氢能力却从0.14 L/(gVSS.d)提高到0.22 L/(gVSS.d),液相末端发酵产物总量从1 106.1 mg/L增加为1 695.1 mg/L,作为乙醇型发酵目的产物的乙醇和乙酸的含量从90%减少为85%.HRT进一步降低为4 h时,系统内生态条件发生剧烈变化,其pH值、ALK、ORP分别为3.7、75 mg/L和-210 mV,生物量锐减至1.1 gVSS/L,同时乙醇型发酵演替为混合酸发酵,产氢能力下降为零.可见,多种因素可对发酵产氢厌氧活性污泥系统产生影响,而其中HRT是直接可控的第一影响因素.

HRT对餐厨垃圾与秸秆混合高温厌氧发酵的影响

以餐厨垃圾和秸秆(按TS比1:1混合)为原料,水力停留时间(HRT)逐级递减至5,3,1.5,1,0.5d,对应有机负荷(OLR)依次为8.0,6.66,3.33,5.0,5.0g VS/(L?d),开展了55d的连续高温发酵试验,并对微生物组成进行分析.实验发现,当HRT由5d缩短到1d的过程中,反应器运行稳定,OLR,挥发性固体(VS)去除率,产气率和容积产气率均维持在较高水平.当HRT降至0.5d时,pH值稳定在7.0左右,并未出现VFA累积,但反应器几乎停止产气,VS去除率仅为5.77%,微生物发生冲刷流失.高通量测试结果表明,当HRT为0.5d时,体系内嗜氢产甲烷菌的比例增加,嗜乙酸产甲烷菌降至0.6%,而Clostridiales等能够与产甲烷菌共生的水解酸化细菌的比例增加了近1倍,推测乙酸氧化菌与嗜氢产甲烷菌共生是乙酸产甲烷的主要途径.

缺氧/好氧和协同控制DO/HRT工艺对亚硝化的影响比较

为比较协同控制DO/HRT和缺氧/好氧两种运行方式对亚硝化的影响,在常温（18～22℃）下,采用两组2级连续搅拌反应器（CSTR）,1#采取协同控制DO/HRT的启动和运行方式,2#采取缺氧/好氧的方式,分别比较两种方式在亚硝化的启动时间、稳定运行效果、曝气能耗、对进水NH4^＋-N质量浓度下降的适应性以及污泥沉降性能上的差异.结果表明：1#、2#分别用了26和41 d实现了亚硝化;在以原水经AO除磷出水为进水时（NH4^＋-N质量浓度35～43 mg/L）,两种运行方式亚硝化效果均较好,但缺氧/好氧的运行方式节省了约20%的曝气能耗.当进水NH4＋-N质量浓度由43 mg/L下降到27 mg/L时,1#亚硝化失稳,最终亚硝化率下降到67.39%,而2#亚硝化较稳定,亚硝化率保持在88%以上;1#和2#在整个过程中污泥沉降性能良好.利用协同控制DO/HRT的方式启动亚硝化,随后转变为缺氧/好氧运行,有助于亚硝化的快速启动和稳定运行,并能节省曝气能耗.
