Denitrification, activity of bacterial floes, and growth of a filamentous bacterium in relation with the bulking of activated sludge

چکیده
Floe formation by cells of Zoogloea ramigera, strain I-16-M, was observed after resuspending pre-cultivated cells in fresh medium. It was considerably stimulated by the additional supply of NaCl or Na2HP04/NaH2P04. Stimulated floe formation occurred also at an increased C/N ratio of the medium in which the pre-cultivated cells were resuspended. The growth phase of the cells had no effect on floe formation when measuring the process in suspensions of equal cell density. Metabolites, inhibiting floe formation, were found to be excreted during the pre-cultivation of strain I-16-M in a complex medium. Enzymatic treatment with cellulase completely dispersed "young floes"; addition of toluol caused a partial dispersion. "Aged" floes were more resistant towards the dispersing agents.

متن کاملRepetitive extragenic palindromic PCR (REP-PCR) as an alternative method for detection of bulking in activated sludge.
Bulking of activated sludge is a world-wide problem which negatively affects wastewater treatment efficiency. The most common reasons of bulking are bacterial community changes, especially excessive growth of filamentous bacteria (filamentous bulking) or excess of biopolymers on the surface of non-filamentous microbes (non-filamentous or Zoogleal bulking). Because of the complex nature of the b...
متن کاملAmmonium removal in granular activated carbon up-flow submerged reactors containing native bacterial consortium
Free ammonium in industries wastewater could be one of the worst toxic contaminants of aquatic life if diluted in water. Biological nitrogen removal (BNR) is the most common method for removing ammonium and nitrate from wastewater. Attached growth and suspended growth are the main BNR systems. The aim of the present work was to study the treatment of petrochemical wastewater (ammonium and nitra...
متن کاملBulking control with ozonation in a nutrient removal activated sludge system
The control of sludge bulking by ozonation was studied on four parallel pilot-scale (110 l/d) biological nutrient removal systems. Bulking was caused by filamentous organisms which typically occur in nutrient removal systems, i.e. Type 0092, Type 0041 and Microthrix parvicella. Continuous dosing of ozone, at 1; 2 and 4 g O3 /kg mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS).d resulted in a diluted sludge...
متن کاملPrediction of Filamentous Sludge Bulking using a State-based Gaussian Processes Regression Model
Activated sludge process has been widely adopted to remove pollutants in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, stable operation of activated sludge process is often compromised by the occurrence of filamentous bulking. The aim of this study is to build a proper model for timely diagnosis and prediction of filamentous sludge bulking in an activated sludge process. This study developed a ...
