1 Microbial Population Database for Evaluating Biological Nutrient Removal Process in Kwa- Zulu Natal Sheena Kumari, Deepnarain N, Pillay K and Bux F Institute for Water and Wastewater Technology, Durban University of Technology, P O Box 1334, Durban, sheenas@dut.ac.za
2 Activated sludge process was conceived and developed by Arden and Lockett in early 19 s Simple yet revolutionary idea of recycling the biomass Early Activated sludge process From then WWTP have dynamically progressed in design and operational structure and complexity Johannesburg Activated sludge process
3 Key objectives of current activated sludge processes? Oxidise Carbonaceous matter Nitrogen removal Phosphorus removal Reduction of pathogenic organisms
4 Objectives are achieved by a heterogeneous microbial community that is organized into flocs with most bacteria forming micro-colonies that are attached to the floc backbone. Heterotrophs Nitrifiers Denitrifiers Phosphate accumulating Organisms Filamentous bacteria An activated sludge floc
5 Operational parameters affecting process performance: Influent wastewater characteristics Temperature Dissolved oxygen concentration ph Sludge age General process operation etc...
6 To create a microbial population database by correlating plant operational parameters to functional microbial population dynamics
7 Primary objectives Identify and quantify functional microbial populations and their composition in two BNR plants. Correlate microbial population to the plant operating conditions and wastewater characteristics. Create an efficient microbial population database for South African BNR plants.
8 COD/N/P removal efficiency, aeration, Temp, ph Process design, volume of tank, addition of chemicals, mechanical problems.. Floc structure, Morphology, filament index, abundance etc Microbial Database
9 BNR1 Original design- UCT process configuration Currently working without internal recycle from aerobic to anoxic Treating primarily domestic sewage RAS passes to anoxic then to anaerobic
10 BNR2 Johannesburg process configuration (original design) Working without inernal recycle from aerobic to anoxic tank Treating primarily domestic sewage RAS passes to a pre-anoxic tank first then to anaerobic tank
11 Sampling on weekly basis Samples for microbiological analysis was obtained from the primary compartments of the BNR plant viz., aeration basins, anoxic and anaerobic zone and the secondary settling tanks. Chemical analysis was done for influent, effluent and aerobic tanks. Chemical data were obtained from the respective plant operators and an in-house testing also was done to compare the results.

13 Few general observations RESULTS AND DISCUSSION COD and Phosphorus removal efficiencies were consistent for both the plants Inconsistency in ammonia removal Bulking and foaming (Excessive growth of filamentous bacteria) Low DO (<1 mg/l) Low F/M ratio (<0.3 mg/l) High MLSS (>5000 mg/l) due to insufficient sludge wastage Mechanical failure of the aerators (loss of nitrification)

18 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Microbial populations were relatively stable. Influent COD and TKN level showed strong correlations to the total bacterial populations. Influent ammonia concentration and temperature showed a strong positive correlation with nitrifying bacteria and nitrification efficiency of the plant. However, these results were not consistent over the two years study period and thus require further validation.
19 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION At low temperatures the activity of nitrifying bacteria seems to be inhibited and not the population size. It is further confirmed by correlating ammonia removal efficiency to the above operating parameters.

28 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Fig graphs display the probability of abundance of Type 0092 within each of the low (0) and high (1) factors (i.e. influent COD, F/M, Influent ammonia, DO and Temperature respectively).
29 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION High levels of COD, F/M, influent ammonia, DO, and phosphorus shows a greater probability that Type 1851 receives lower rankings of 2 or 3 Type 1851, Thiothrix and type 0047 are reported to be low F/M filaments (Jenkins et al., 2004). Can thrive both in aerobic and anoxic conditions and are capable of using both oxygen and Nitrite as electron acceptors High levels of COD, F/M, influent ammonia, DO and low temperature shows a greater probability that Type 0092 receives higher rankings Type 0092 are strictly aerobic (Jenkins et al., 2004)

32 CONCLUSIONS The first intensive study on full scale BNR plants in South Africa Nitrification efficiency of the plants were affected by low DO, higher COD and low temperature No significant variation in microbial population (Heterotrophs, Nitrifiers, Denitrifiers and PAOs) except during the periods of mechanical failures of aerators Insufficient sludge wastage - Sludge blanket rising in the clarifier
33 CONCLUSIONS Filamentous bulking and foaming High COD, low F/M (<0.3 mg/l), low DO (<0.5 mg/l) contributed for filamentous proliferation Seasonal variation in the dominance of filamentous bacterial population More than one filamentous bacteria are involved in bulking and foaming incidents in these plants The relative composition of the different species were unique for each of these plants giving a characteristic fingerprint
34 Future Recommendations Evaluation of the efficiency of developed filamentous population model to other wastewater treatment plants across South Africa. Lab scale experiments to confirm the uniqueness of Type 0092 over other filamentous bacteria. The role filamentous bacteria on nutrient removal process also require a further verification at laboratory scale Microbial analysis using high-throughput sequencing to explore the microbial diversity Lab-scale experiments to explore nitrifying bacteria and its interaction within the system.
