Performance Evaluation of Sequencing Batch Reactor for Beverage Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

Attempts were made in this study to examine the effectiveness of sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for the treatment of beverage industrial wastewater. The SBR was operated at three different organic loading rates (OLRs): 2, 1.7 and 1.1 kg COD/m 3 d. Results of continuous long-term operation showed that by decreasing OLR from 2 to 1.7 kg COD/m 3 day, the removal efficiency was increased from 95.5 to 99.3% for COD, from 95.3 to 98.1% for BOD and from 87 to 97.7% for TSS. While further decreasing of the OLR to 1.1 kg COD/m 3 day, there is no significant adverse effect on organics removal. Also, residual total nitrogen (TN) concentration decreased by decreasing the OLR. However, increasing the OLRs exerted a slightly negative effect on the removal of total phosphorous. On the other hand, the experimental data indicated that the substrate utilization kinetic followed Monod's kinetics model approximately. The maximum specific substrate utilization rate (m max ), half velocity coefficient (Ks), growth yield coefficient (Y) and decay coefficient (K d ) were 2.94 d 21 , 15.22 mg/L, 0.2384 g VSS/g COD and 0.2019 h 21 , respectively.

Effect of operational parameters on methanol biofiltration coupled with Endochitinase 42 production

“…In addition, the b value predicted was slightly higher than other b values found in biofiltration systems (Alonso et al, 2000). However, they are lower than results commonly found in other biological treatment systems (Akhbari et al, 2012;El-Kamah and Mahmoud, 2012;Emerald et al, 2012). This last fact was actually expented since biofiltration technology is a fixed biomass system.…”

A Review on Bioremediation of Sugar Mill Effluent

“…Good performance and high efficiency at low cost, simplicity, efficient quality control in the effluent and flexibility of use and high biogas yield. The disadvantages are It is very slow process require several weeks, concentration gradients appear inside the systems, granulation process is difficult to control, and it requires proper monitoring to maintain the alkalinity to balance the excessive acidity (Suresh, Tripathi, and Gernal 2011;El-Kamah and Mahmoud (2012); Singh and Srivastava (2011); Fito, Tefera, and Van Hulle (2019b); Van Lier et al, (2001); Ghangrekar, Joshi, and Asolekar (2003); Lettinga and Hulshoff Pol (1991))…”
