One of the problems of nitrogen removal from wastewater when applying sequencing batch reactor (SBR) technology, is the specific use of organic matter for denitrification purposes. Since easily biodegradable organic matter is rapidly consumed under aerobic or anoxic conditions (i.e. aerobic oxidation or anoxic denitrification, respectively), it is an important factor to consider when scaling up SBRs from the laboratory to real plant operation. In this paper, we present the results obtained in relation to scaling up reactors from lab-scale to pilot-plant scale, treating real wastewater from two different locations: the laboratory and in situ, respectively. In order to make using easily biodegradable organic matter more efficient, the filling phases of SBR cycles were adjusted according to a step-feed strategy composed of 6 anoxic-aerobic events. Feeding only occurred during anoxic phases. The results obtained demonstrated that the methodology may be useful in treating real wastewater with high carbon and nitrogen variations, as it always kept effluent levels lower than the official standards require (effluent total COD lower than 125 mg COD/L and effluent Total Nitrogen lower than 15 mg N/L).

Reducción de la carga orgánica de aguas residuales tóxicas de los laboratorios de la unas mediante oxidación avanzada Foto – Fenton Gian Marco Castillo Avila, José Antonio Blaz Matienzo Universidad Nacional Agraria de la Selva, Av. Universitaria Km. 1.5 s/n, Tingo María-Perú Resumen Se investigó la reducción de la materia orgánica contenida en aguas residuales tóxicas proveniente de siete laboratorios de la Universidad Nacional Agraria de la Selva (Química General e Inorgánica, Fitoquimica, Análisis de Suelos, Bioquímica, Microscopia y Sanidad Animal) mediante el proceso Foto-Fenton solar. Para optimizar el proceso, se utilizó la metodología de superficie de respuesta, estudiando el efecto de los factores dosis de H2O2 y Fe (II) sobre la variable respuesta porcentaje de remoción de DQO. Previo al tratamiento se caracterizó el agua residual (DQO 10551 mgO2/L, DBO5 850 mgO2/L, fenoles totales 1740mg/L, nitratos 83250 mg/L, sulfatos 104402 mg/L y pH 2.8) cuyas concentraciones superan ampliamente los valores máximos admisibles. La concentración de Fe (II) fue la variable significativa sobre la remoción de la DQO. Con la optimización del proceso, se alcanzó remover un 95.3% de DQO, 67.88% de DBO5, 100% de fenoles totales 91.12% de nitratos y 90.4% de sulfatos, reduciendo la concentración de los parámetros hasta valores de: 495 mgO2/L, 273 mgO2/L, 0.002mg/L, 7312 mg/L y 10031 mg/L, respectivamente, los cuales se encuentran por debajo de los Valores Máximos Admisibles. Se logró incrementar el índice de biodegradabilidad (DBO5/DQO), partiendo de 0.08 de contenido de materia orgánica difícilmente biodegradable, hasta un óptimo de 0.57 de contenido de materia orgánica parcialmente biodegradable. Con lo que se comprueba que el agua residual tratada es menos toxica que el agua residual inicial. Descriptores: Aguas residuales, Foto-Fenton, Valores máximos admisible, biodegradabilidad. Abstract The reduction of the organic matter content in toxic waste water from the seven laboratories at the Universidad Nacional Agraria de la Selva (General Chemistry and Inorganic, Phytochemistry, Soil Analysis, Biochemistry, Microscopy and Animal Health) through the solar photo-Fenton process was researched. To optimize the process, the response surface methods were used, studying the dosing factors of H2O2 and Fe (II) on the variable, percentage of removal response of DQO (acronym in Spanish). Before treatment, the waste water was characterized (DQO 10551 mgO2/L, DBO5 850 mgO2/L, total phenols 1740mg/L, nitrates 83250 mg/L, sulfates 104402 mg/L and pH 2.8); having concentrations which greatly surpassed the maximum allowable values. The concentration of Fe (II) was the significant variable for the removal of the DQO. With the optimization of the process, it was possible to remove a 95.3% of the DQO, 67.88% of the DBO5 (acronym in Spanish), 100% of the total phenols, 91.12% of the nitrates and 90.4% of the sulfates was achieved, reducing the concentration of the parameters to values of: 495 mgO2/L, 273 mgO2/L, 0.002mg/L, 7312 mg/L and 10031 mg/L, respectively, which come in under the maximum allowable values. An increase in the biodegradable index (DBO5/DQO) was achieved, having started with 0.08 difficult biodegradable organic matter content, reaching an optimal 0.57 partially biodegradable organic matter content. With which, it is proven that the treated waste water is less toxic than the initial waste water. Keywords: waste water, Foto-Fenton, Maximum admissible values, biodegradability.

The excess sludge problem from a wastewater treatment plant is a great concerned due to the high cost of sludge management accounting for about 20% to 50% of the total operating cost. Therefore, sludge reduction is critical. Currently, aerobic and/or anaerobic sludge digestions are widely used in the industries for treating the excess sludge. The objective of this research was to study the effects of aeration rate and temperature on the excess sludge reduction by using the aerobic-anaerobic digestion system in the laboratory. The aeration rates of 1.0, 0.5, and 0.1 volume air per volume slurry per minute (vvm) at the room temperature and the thermophilic temperature (55 ± 2°C) were investigated. The results showed that the highest removal efficiency of aerobic sludge digestion was obtained at the thermophilic temperature and aeration rate of 1.0 vvm. The removal efficiency of organic matter in terms of COD, total solids (TS) and volatile solids (VS) were 34.76%, 33.01% and 43.45%, respectively. Consequently, the highest specific growth rate of microorganisms was 0.39 per hour and the substrate removal rate was 0.55 milligram CODremoved per milligram VSS per hour. Furthermore, slowly biodegradable organic matter was hydrolyzed to readily biodegradable organic matter and inert soluble organic matter. When the sludge effluent from aerobic sludge digestion was feed to the anaerobic sludge digestion, the removal efficiency of organic matter in terms of COD, TS and VS were increased by 25%, 17% and 28%, respectively. Moreover, the obtained methane production rate in the anaerobic sludge digestion was approximate 0.234 m3/kg COD removed.
