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 ...

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 ...

Following a period of acclimatisation it is often possible to increase feed rates to the plant and this can again be managed using the Strathtox Respirometer. An alternative approach is to undertake toxicity reduction procedures, such as neutralisation or acid hydrolysis, in pilot-scale laboratory studies. ...

Waste Type: Complex alcohols. Objective: Certain constituents of the test waste were know to be biodegradable but were suspected of being toxic to aerobic biological processes when present in high concentrations. The objective was then to determine how much waste could be added to an activated sludge process before toxic impacts would be ...

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. ...

The methane production activity of anaerobic sludges is related to the history of the sludge, the biomass yield from the wastewater the sludge has been treating, the fraction of methanogens, and the presence of toxic ...

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 ...

If industrial wastewater entering a treatment works contains toxic components the rate of biodegradation will be inhibited or stop completely. This can result in failed consents and will certainly give rise to operational problems. Visible indications include deflocculation, bulking and the appearance of filamentous bacteria. Sometimes, there are no visible effects. When the sludge bacteria are inhibited, there is the possibility of toxicity carryover in the effluent that is discharged to receiving waters. With ...
