Sewage Treatment
Different steps
Primary treatment - Mainly physical-chemical: grit, primary settling, sand trap, fat trap, flocculation Secondary treatment - Mainly biological (see further) - Physical sludge-water separation: settling, membrane filtration Tertiary treatment - Further purification of effluent (polishing) - Active sand filtration, activated carbon, membrane filtration Sludge treatment - Physical: thickening, dewatering - Biological: sludge digestion

Biological growth
Growth = multiplication of organisms Requirements for growth:
nutrients (biomass = C5H7O2N, + P, S, ...) favorable environmental conditions (pH, temperature)
Basic reaction : C-source + NH4 + PO4 + H+ ==> Biomass + electron acceptor (O2, NO3) + byproducts + electron donor (C-source) (H2O, CO2, N2, NO3)
www.mbr-network.eu
Biological conversion
Because biomass grows (or at least wants to), a number of compounds are converted, e.g.
Organic pollutants --> CO2 + waste biomass NH4 --> NO3 NO3 --> N2 PO4 --> Poly-P stored in waste biomass Organic pollutants --> biogas (CH4 + CO2)
Reaction stoichiometry
Suppose following reaction takes place:
C18H19O9N + O2 + H+ --> C5H7O2N + CO2 + H2O for each molecule of pollutants degraded, a proportional amount of other products will be used (left of arrow) or produced (right of arrow) We can therefore write: a C18H19O9N + b O2 + c H+ --> d C5H7O2N + e CO2 + f H2O a,b,c,d,e,f are called yield or stoichiometric coefficients note that one of the coefficients can be chosen = 1
www.mbr-network.eu
Process kinetics
A reaction will not occur (reaction rate = 0) when its sources (substrates) are absent compounds on the left of the reaction arrow A reaction will have a maximum rate - when all sources are in excess - inhibition by sources/products may affect max. rate
Conversion rates
Take the conversion above a C18H19O9N + b O2 + c H+ Suppose the reaction kinetics: (S)=*.X.S/(KS+S)
Monod kinetics in the substrate first order in the biomass concentration
The conversion of each component is then: C18H19O9N : - a. (S) C5H7O2N O2 : - b. (S) CO2 H+ : - c. (S) H2O
C5H7O2N, O2, CO2, H+, H2O occur more than once C5H7O2N : + 1. 1 + 1. 2 O2 : - b. 1 - g. 2 CO2 : + d. 1 - f. 2 H+ : - c. 1 + k. 2

Rule of thumb: Doubling of reaction rate for temperature increase with 10oC
www.mbr-network.eu
Winter period is critical for process performance, especially for nitrification, since this is the slowest
www.mbr-network.eu
Process is changing the system pH by production of H+ (e.g. nitrification, digestion) or OH- (denitrification)

Biofilm processes
The active fraction concept leads to the interpretation of biofilms as systems in which layers exist with different conversion processes taking place The layers change in size as the process conditions change
