A comprehensive evaluation of four different textile wastewaters was carried out to set the experimental basis for the modelling of activated sludge process. Experiments involved beside conventional characterization, detailed COD fractionation and assessment of major kinetic and stoichiometric coefficients by means of respirometric measurements. A multi-component model based on the endogenous decay concept was used for the kinetic interpretation and design of activated sludge. The fate and variation of major process components affecting effluent quality with the sludge age were evaluated by means of model simulations.

The step feed model based on the Activated Sludge Model No.1 (ASM1) and the optimum model of the ammonia nitrogen (SNH) removal in wastewater were established. Four aeration tanks under the different step feed ratios were simulated by Matlab Simulink. The results show that single-feeding is conducive to the removal of readily biodegradable substrate (SS) and the growth of heterotrophic organisms (XBH), and to lower the biodegradable substrate (XS) at the same time. The SS, XS, and SNH concentrations are 1.36, 5.98, and 3.02 mg/L respectively in effluent. However, the step-feeding is conducive to the SNH removal, and the autotrophic bacteria (XBA) growth. Under the step feed ratio (25/25/25/25%), the SS, XS, and SNH concentrations are 2.64, 10.79, and 2.61 mg/L respectively. Under the optimum ratio (28.7/23.6/20.4/27.2%), step-feeding could further facilitate the removal of SNH and hinder the removal of organic matter, their concentrations are 2.70, 10.98, and 2.47 mg/L respectively.

Phenol biodegradation by mixed culture was studied in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) over a period of 285 days. Activated sludge was used as the MBR biomass, after controlled acclimation to high phenol concentrations. The MBR permeate flux was stabilized quickly (in a few hours) and always maintained above 90 L.h-1.m-2.bar-1. The acclimatized activated sludge allowed significant phenol degradation (95% average COD removal efficiency and greater than 99% phenol removal efficiency) without supplemental reagent addition. After sludge acclimatization, the Haldane kinetics model for a single substrate was used to obtain the maximum specific growth rate (µm = 0.438 h-1), the half saturation coefficient (Ks = 29.54 mg.L-1) and the substrate inhibition constant (Ki = 72.45 mg.L-1). Biodegradation experiments were conducted at different phenol concentrations (4.9 – 8.5 g.L-1 d-1). Although the phenol concentration was high, the Haldane model was still acceptable, and removal capacities were in agreement with literature. Excellent effluent quality was obtained regardless of the extremely short SRT (5 – 17 days). This work shows the potential of MBR for toxic chemical elimination, charged effluents treatment and process stability.
