Similar PAH Fate in Anaerobic Digesters Inoculated with Three Microbial Communities Accumulating Either Volatile Fatty Acids or Methane
Urban sludge produced on wastewater treatment plants are often contaminated by organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Their removal under methanogenic conditions was already reported, but the factors influencing this removal remain unclear. Here, we determined the influence of microbial communities on PAH removal under controlled physico-chemical conditions. Twelve m...
متن کاملRegulation of Volatile Fatty Acids and Total Alkalinity in Anaerobic Digesters
This paper deals with the simultaneous regulation of volatile fatty acids (VFA’s) and total alkalinity (TA) in anaerobic digesters. The control scheme is conformed by an output feedback control and an extended Luenberger observer used to estimate the uncertainties associated to the controlled states (i.e., kinetics terms and inlet composition). The inlet flow rate is used to regulate the VFA’s ...
متن کاملModeling of ammonia speciation in anaerobic digesters.
Anaerobic digestion of high-nitrogen wastes such as animal manure can be inhibited by high concentrations of un-ionized ammonia, NH(3) (aq). Understanding the toxicity of NH(3) (aq) to anaerobic digestion requires a method for determining its concentration. Previous work on ammonia toxicity in anaerobic digesters has utilized a simple equilibrium calculation for estimating NH(3) (aq) concentrat...
متن کاملTemperature and solids retention time control microbial population dynamics and volatile fatty acid production in replicated anaerobic digesters
Anaerobic digestion is a widely used technology for waste stabilization and generation of biogas, and has recently emerged as a potentially important process for the production of high value volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and alcohols. Here, three reactors were seeded with inoculum from a stably performing methanogenic digester, and selective operating conditions (37°C and 55°C; 12 day and 4 day s...
متن کاملRecovery of Volatile Fatty Acids from Fermented Wastewater by Adsorption
Separation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from fermented wastewater is challenging, due to low VFA concentrations in mineral-rich streams. As a result, separation capacity and selectivity with traditional solvents and adsorbents are both compromised. In this study, using a complex artificial model solution mimicking real fermented wastewaters, it is shown that a simple and robust adsorption-bas...
