The nitrogen removal from wastewater and landfill leachate has become a vital part of the overall treatment process because nitrogen compounds have the significant impact on the environment. Generally, biological nitrogen removal is used for nitrogen elimination from wastewater. In the last years, newly advanced anaerobic reactor systems such as up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), anaerobi...

we evaluated the efficacy of a full-scale combined biophysicochemical system for treatingmolasses-based bioethanol wastewater in terms of organic substances, nutrient, and dark brown color removal. the main organic removal unit, i.e., the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (uasb) reactor, achieved 80.7% removal and 4.3 nm3 methane production per cubic meter of wastewater with a hydraulic retention...

anaerobic treatment methods are more suitable for the treatment of concentrated wastewater streams, offer lower operating costs, the production of usable biogas product. the aim of this study was to investigate the performance of an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor (afbr)-aerobic moving bed bio reactor (mbbr) in series arrangement to treat currant wastewater.the bed materials of afbr were cylind...

In this research, the effects of different color intensities, anoxic + anaerobic times and types of substrate on color removal effectiveness were studied using 16-litre bench scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) anoxic + anaerobic/aerobic models. The systems were fed with a synthetic wastewater containing 500 mg/l of COD, 50 mg/l of N, 15 mg/l of P along with 10, 40 and 80 mg/l of reactive diaz...

Anaerobic wastewater treatment differs from conventional aerobic treatment. The absence of oxygen leads to controlled conversion of complex organic pollutions, mainly to carbon dioxide and methane. Anaerobic treatment has favourable effects like removal of higher organic loading, low sludge production, high pathogen removal, biogas gas production and low energy consumption. Psychrophilic anaero...

Anaerobic biological wastewater treatment has numerous advantages over conventional aerobic processes; anaerobic biotechnologies, however, still have a reputation for low-quality effluents and operational instabilities. In this study, anaerobic bioreactors were augmented with an oxygen-transferring membrane to improve treatment performance. Two anaerobic bioreactors were fed a synthetic high-st...

background : the sequencing batch reactor (sbr) is one of the most widely used systems in sewage treatment because of the simplicity of the process, flexibility of operation in the removal of nutrients, and the ability to be used in different scales. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the sbr in the removal of organic matter (nitrogen and phosphorus) from synthetic wastewat...

Background: Various chemical, physical and biologic treatment methods are being used to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater. Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is a modified activated sludge process that removes phosphorus and organic material from sanitary wastewater, biologically. Methods: This study was conducted in 2016.The performance of an aerobic-anaerobic SBR pilot device, locat...

One of the main challenges for one phase anaerobic digestion processes is the high concentration of NH4 and PO4 ions in the digested sludge supernatant. This project focuses on enhancing the removal of nutrients during the anaerobic digestion process through fixing both NH4 and PO4 ions in the form of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate, MAP, MgNH4PO4.6H2O) within the anaerobic sludge. Batch...
