Abstract Based on discussions in workshop sessions, several recurring themes became evident with respect to the optimization and control of petroleum refinery wastewater treatment systems to achieve effective removal of toxic contaminants. It was apparent that statistical process control (SPC) techniques are finding more widespread use and have been found to be effective. However, the implementation of real-time process control strategies in petroleum refinery wastewater treatment systems is in its infancy. Considerable effort will need to be expended to demonstrate the practicality of on-line sensors, and the utility of automated process control in petroleum refinery wastewater treatment systems. This paper provides a summary of the discussions held at the workshop.

In this study we investigated the population of heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria in three biological wastewater treatment systems treating acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene (ABS) resin wastewater. In addition to isolating and identifying these bacteria, we examined the physiological properties of the isolates, particularly utilization of acrylonitrile and its derivatives. An enrichment process was employed to isolate heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria from sludge samples taken from three biological wastewater treatment systems. Thirteen isolates were obtained and four strains were identified as Alcaligenes sp., Acinetobacter sp., Xanthomonas sp. and Corynebacterium sp. Alcaligenes sp. and Corynebacterium sp. have already been reported as heterotrophic nitrifiers. To our knowledge, this is the first time Acinetobacter sp. and Xanthomonas sp. have been reported as heterotrophic nitrifiers. The heterotrophic nitrifying isolates used acrylonitrile and acrylamide as the sole carbon and nitrogen sources. Moreover, adding an extra carbon source enhanced the nitrification rate.

As an example of the importance and the potential of in situ structure/function studies, nitrifying aggregates from different zones of a lab-scale fluidised bed reactor were analysed by microelectrode measurements of O2, NH4+, NO2−, and NO3− and in situ hybridisation targeting the 16S rRNA of the nitrifying bacteria. A shift from an ammonia oxidising to a nitrite oxidising community is present along the reactor. In the single aggregates an active nitrifying shell of about 100 μm could be related to the maximum abundance of nitrifiers in this zone. Interestingly, the main actors in this system are not representatives of the well-described genera Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter but some other ammonia oxidisers from the beta subclass of Proteobacteria and a thus far unknown nitrite oxidising population.
