A pharmaceutical company was interested in knowing whether a specific component, MCB, inhibited the biodegradation of other wastewater constituents. A series of respirometer tests was set up using identical mixtures of wastewater and return activated sludge (RAS) plus varying amounts of MCB. The OUR fingerprint of this wastewater includes a first peak of about 500 mg/L-hr within the first hour of contact that represents the oxidation of highly-biodegradable organic constituents. A second group of readily ...

METHOD: A full-scale compost plant was faced with the need to determine the stability of the compost in the active bays during the compost operation. Samples were collected at 24-ft intervals (2 days of operation) through the length of one bay of the in-vessel compost system and placed into sealed glass reactors. Air was recirculated through the compost material using a peristaltic pump. A caustic scrubber was placed in the recirculation line to remove carbon dioxide (Figure 1). The reaction vessels were connected ...

Test Setup: A series of dilutions consisting of 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, and 175 mL of test wastewater were added to respective 500 mL respirometer flasks along with nutrients, minerals, and buffers. TCMP was added to eliminate interference from nitrification. Oxygen uptake was measured over a five-day test period using a CHALLENGE AER-200 ...

Method: An industry was discharging wastewater to a municipal sewer and was suspected of causing problems with treatment at the plant. Samples of the industrial wastewater were collected and oxygen uptake for four dilutions was measured using a CHALLENGE AER-200 aerobic/anaerobic respirometer system. Biodegradation kinetic coefficients were determined using the method described by Dang, et. al. (Res. J. of Water Poll. Control Fed., p. 1711, 1989). Results of the oxygen uptake measurements and kinetic analyses are ...

Measurement of oxygen uptake rates in activated sludge processes is essential to their satisfactory operation. Traditionally, oxygen uptake rates (OUR) have been determined by using a dissolved oxygen probe to measure the change in dissolved oxygen in a BOD bottle. While this method is rapid, it provides only a snapshot of the pattern of oxygen uptake in a treatment plant. Much more can be learned about the operation of a treatment plant by measuring the oxygen uptake rate over a period ranging from one to four ...

METHOD: A seed culture from a full-scale anaerobic digester was placed in a number of 200 mL respirometer vessels. A synthetic wastewater having a 20,000 mg COD/L in a nutrient/ mineral/buffer solution was fed daily to each reaction vessel — along with various amounts of the cleaning agent The reactors were operated for a four day test period with measurement of gas production using a CHALLENGE ANR-200 anaerobic ...

OUR measurements were made for two waste streams from a chemical production plant. The fingerprint for Waste 1 indicated the presence of three major groups of organic constituents. The first group of readily biodegradable organic constituents is oxidized at maximum kinetic rate through about one hour of contact. Oxidation of a second group of constituents causes the OUR to increase through about 3.5 hours of incubation. This increase in OUR is caused by growth of microorganisms during the oxidation reaction. ...

Test Setup: 40 and 60 mL of wastewater were added to individual respirometer flasks each containing nutrient/mineral/buffer medium to form two different dilutions. TCMP was added to inhibit nitrification. 25 mL of seed from a laboratory scale reactor was added to each test reactor. Oxygen uptake was monitored using a CHALLENGE AER-200 respirometer for five days. A second dose of 40 and 60 mL of leachate sample was then added to each reactor and oxygen uptake was measured for another 5 ...

The CHALLENGE AER-200 Respirometer System consists of one or more biological reaction vessels, gas flow measuring cells, and a computer. The gas measuring base contains eight flow ceHs and associated interconnecting circuitry. As gas flows through each cell under the influence of a slight pressure caused by gas production in the reaction vessel, bubbles of a fixed volume are formed in the lower section of the cell. These bubbles in turn pass through a detection section where a counter is activated. Finally, the ...

OceanAlpha’s autonomous hydrographic surveying boat has been applied to the mining industry for tailing dam ponds and tailing storage facilities (TSFs) and has been utilized in more common applications such as lakes, rivers, reservoirs and oceans. Set up the survey way-points and the boat will automatically begin surveying and acquiring online bathymetric data using its built-in GPS navigation system. USV surveying technology has been proven to be a great alternative to replace traditional manned surveying ...
