Sonicated Sludge as Carbon Source for Denitrification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultrawaves sludge sonication technology was trialled at Maroochydore STP from February to June 2013. This was believed to be the first fullscale application of mechanical sludge lysis for enhanced denitrification in Australia. The results of the trial confirmed that sonicated waste activated sludge (WAS) could effectively replace the use of methanol as a carbon source for denitrification, and the use of one 5 kW Ultrawaves unit had a denitrification capacity of at least 57 kg N/d and reduced sludge production by about 100 kg/d.

Characterization of denitrifying granular sludge with and without the addition of external carbon source.
In this study granular sludge taken from a denitrifying upflow sludge reactor was characterized. Denitrification rates were determined in batch tests with and without external carbon source addition and pH microprofiles of the granules were studied. The microbial community structure was also determined. The results showed that denitrification without carbon source addition occurs; however, the ...
متن کاملFree nitrous acid pretreatment of wasted activated sludge to exploit internal carbon source for enhanced denitrification.
Using internal carbon source contained in waste activated sludge (WAS) is beneficial for nitrogen removal from wastewater with low carbon/nitrogen ratio, but it is usually limited by sludge disintegration. This study presented a novel strategy based on free nitrous acid (FNA) pretreatment to intensify the release of organic matters from WAS for enhanced denitrification. During FNA pretreatment,...
متن کاملCarbon Removal by Activated Sludge under Fully Aerobic Conditions at Different COD/N Ratio
The aim of the experiment was to analyze the particular processes (biomass synthesis, oxidation, denitrification and accumulation) during carbon removal from wastewater. The experiment was carried out in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) in two series with different organic carbon compounds to nitrogen compounds ratio (COD/N). Organic carbon loading of activated sludge was 0.07 g COD/g·d. Organi...

An innovative adsorption/nitrification/denitrification/sludge-hydrolysis wastewater treatment process (ENRS) characterized by carbon source manipulation with a biological adsorption unit and a sludge hydrolysis unit was developed to enhance nitrogen removal and reduce sludge production for municipal wastewater treatment. The system presented good performance in pollutants removal, yielding the ...
متن کاملInfluence of temperature on denitrification of an industrial high-strength nitrogen wastewater in a two-sludge system
The temperature effect on denitrification rate of a two-sludge system has been studied. An industrial high-strength wastewater and an industrial by-product containing mainly methanol, as external carbon source, were used in this study. The maximum denitrification rate (MDR) was determined at six different temperatures: 6, 8, 10, 15, 20 and 25oC in batch mode. The temperature coefficient was fou...
