3 Biological Treatment Microorganism Gravity Soluble and colloidal organics + = For further treatment September 29, 2016 arunku@civil.iitd.ac.in Arun Kumar 3 (arunku@civil.iitd.ac.in)

4 Municipal Wastewater Treatment Systems Preliminary treatment (removes materials that can cause operational problems, equalization basins are optional) Primary treatment (remove ~60% of solids and ~35% of BOD) Secondary treatment (remove ~85% of BOD and solids) Advanced treatment (varies: 95+ % of BOD and solids, N, P) Final Treatment (disinfection) Solids Processing (sludge management)

5 Secondary Wastewater Treatment High treatment efficiency BOD to ~ mg/l SS to ~ 20 mg/l Some pollutants are not removed by the conventional secondary wastewater treatment Low treatment efficiency Nitrogen Phosphorus Heavy Metals Poorly-biodegradable organic chemicals Small particles Resistant organisms

6 1. Particles Problem: Particles Presence of small particles that are too small to be removed by settling. Attached to these particles can be organic chemicals and metals. Particles may eventually settle in river or stream (longer detention time). Particles can also be bacteria, protozoans, etc.

7 Methods for removing particles Methods: (1)Sedimentation with and without addition of coagulants (example: secondary sedimentation tank (SST)with addition of ferric chloride or alum), (2)sand filtration after SST to remove remaining particles from supernatant Solids are called secondary solids Solids are settled at the bottom of tank and thickened. Mixed liquor suspended solids =10000mg/L Q w =solid wastage rate per day September 29,

8 Problem: Trace Organics Organic compounds, pesticides, endocrine disruptors, homores, pharmaceuticals 2. Organics

9 Methods for removing organics Ozonation: organic compounds are oxidized Chlorination: organic compounds are oxidized Adsorption: organic compounds are adsorbed on materials (i.e., adsorbent surface) September 29,

10 2. Organics Carbon Adsorption Carbon is heated to about 1500 o C to activate surfaces High surface area of particles with vast pore spaces Capable of absorbing high quantity of organics Surface area > 1,000 m 2 /g Wastewater effluent is passed through filter under pressure Carbon becomes exhausted replace carbon in system regenerate carbon (on-site or off-site)

11 Problem: Phosphorus 3. Phosphorus increase in nutrients and organic substances, sediments overstimulation in growth of algae and aquatic plants create conditions that interfere with recreational uses of lakes, and the health and diversity of indigenous life eutrophication

12 Phosphorus Removal 3. Phosphorus Most phosphate in the form of (HPO 4 2- ) Usually removal accomplished with chemical precipitation (salts) Ferric chloride: FeCl 3 Alum: Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 14H 2 O Lime: CaO or Ca(OH) 2

13 Phosphorus Removal: Chemical method 3. Phosphorus FeCl 3 + HPO 4 2- = FePO 4 (s) + HCl Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 14H 2 O + 2 HPO 4 2- = 2AlPO 4 (s) + 2H + + 3SO 4 2- Effective range for alum or ferric chloride is ph 5.5 to 7.0 If insufficient alkalinity - must add lime to neutralize H + There is another option: Biological Phosphorus Removal

14 4. Nitrogen Nitrogen Excess nutrients: nitrogeneous BOD exerts oxygen demand Anaerobic conditions in stream

15 4. Nitrogen Solution: Nitrogen Removal (chemical) Ammonia stripping Raise ph to convert ammonium ions to ammonia NH 4+ + OH - = NH 3 + H 2 O Ammonia purged from water in process similar to aeration Tray-type Air Stripper Packed Column Air Stripper (From: (From:

16 4. Nitrogen Solution: Nitrogen Removal (biological) Forms: NH 3, NH 4+, NO 2-, NO 3 - Nitrification/ De-nitrification Occurs in activated sludge process - by increasing the detention time in activated sludge basin in separate reactor Nitrification: NH O 2 = NO H 2 O + 2H + (2 steps) De-nitrification: 2NO 3- + organic matter = N 2 + CO 2 + H 2 O

17 Wastewater Treatment Preliminary Treatment (screening) Primary Treatment (primary settling) Secondary Treatment (e.g. activated sludge) Advanced Treatment (e.g. P removal) Final Treatment (disinfection) Solids Processing (sludge treatment)

18 Final Treatment (disinfecting) 1. Final treatment focuses on removal of diseasecausing organisms from wastewater. Treated wastewater can be disinfected by adding chlorine or by using ultraviolet light. 2. High levels of chlorine may be harmful to aquatic life in receiving streams. Treatment systems often add a chlorine-neutralizing chemical to the treated wastewater before stream discharge.

19 Disinfectants: NaOCl Ca(OCl) 2 Cl 2 gas Chloramines Ozone UV irradiation Disinfection

20 Disinfection Water is often disinfected before it enters the distribution system to ensure that potentially dangerous microbes are killed. Chlorine, chloramines, or chlorine dioxide are most often used because they are very effective disinfectants, not only at the treatment plant but also in the pipes that distribute water to our homes and businesses. Ozone and ultraviolet radiation are effective disinfectants for relatively clean source waters, but neither of these are effective in controlling biological contaminants in the distribution pipes.

22 UV Disinfection

23 Wastewater Treatment Preliminary Treatment (screening) Primary Treatment (primary settling) Secondary Treatment (e.g. activated sludge) Advanced Treatment (e.g. P removal) Final Treatment (disinfection) Solids Processing (sludge treatment)

24 Sludge Types Primary sludge 3 to 8% solids About 70% organic material Secondary sludge Consists of wasted microorganisms and inert materials About 90% organic material WAS: 0.5 to 2% solids Trickling filter sludge: 2-5% solids Tertiary sludge If secondary clarifier is used to remove phosphate, this sludge will also contain chemical precipitates (more difficult to treat) Denitrification sludges - similar to WAS sludge

25 Treatment processes include: Sludge Treatment Thickening separates water from solids by gravity or flotation Stabilization converts organic solids to more refractory forms through digestion Conditioning treats sludge with chemicals or heat so that the water can be readily separated Dewatering separates water by vacuum, pressure or drying Reduction decreases the volume of sludge by incineration
