Effect of seeding during thermophilic composting of sewage sludge.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of seeding on the thermophilic composting of sewage sludge was examined by measuring the changes in CO2 evolution rates and microbial numbers. Although the succession of thermophilic bacteria and thermophilic actinomycetes clearly reflected the effect of seeding, no clear difference was observed in the overall rate of composting or quality of the composted product.

Characteristics of Mesophilic Bacteria Isolated during Thermophilic Composting of Sewage Sludge.
The degree of inactivation by UV irradiation was different between vegetative cells and spores of bacteria isolated from sewage sludge composting at 60 degrees C. By using this property, a method to estimate the spore ratio of a mixture of vegetative cells and spores was presented. This UV irradiation method was applied to the estimation of the spore ratio of sewage sludge compost samples colle...
متن کاملDegradation kinetics of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and organic matter of sewage sludge during composting.
The potential degradation of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and organic matter of sewage sludge by composting was investigated using laboratory reactor at different operating conditions (E-1, E-2 and E-3). In all conditions, single stage thermophilic phase was observed within 2 days and almost, 60% of DEHP was degraded under this phase. At the end of composting, total DEHP degradation of mo...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Structure of the Bacterial Community in the Livestock Manure-based Composting Process*
We investigated the structure of bacterial communities present in livestock manure-based composting processes and evaluated the bacterial succession during the composting processes. Compost samples were derived separately from swine manure, dairy manure and sewage sludge. The structure of the bacterial community was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (...
متن کاملTwo culture approaches used to determine the co-composting stages by assess of the total microflora changes during sewage sludge and date palm waste co-composting
Indigenous microflora community changes during six months of co-composting of activated sewage sludge and date palm waste was investigated using two different culture approaches. In order to evaluate the co-composting process evolution for mixture A and B, growth standard media (GSM) and Compost Time Extract Agar (CTEA) are used. Enumeration for indigenous flora abundance on GSM medium shows th...
متن کاملSupplementation of Wastewater Process Modelling Tools to Enable the Kinetic Analysis of Sewage Sludge Composting
This study demonstrates mathematical description of sewage sludge composting based on identification and separate characterisation of simple process parts. For a description of the microbial processes an aSM3-based mathematical model developed for autothermal thermophilic aerobic sludge digestion is used. The oxygen mass transfer was characterized in a separate way. The 2.964·10-3 m2·d-1 value ...
