The purpose of this study was to assess the applicability of the anaerobic biofilter process to treat low strength organic wastewater such as domestic sewage. It was found that when the influent BOD was approximately 200 mg/l, water temperature and BOD loading, under a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 30 hrs, were 20°C and 0.2 kg/m3.day respectively, a BOD removal of at least 70% was attained, and the ratio of sludge produced to BOD removed in the anaerobic biofilter was as low as 0.1. Furthermore it was also found that 75% of nitrogen (N) could be removed in the anaerobic-aerobic biofilter process when the circulation ratio was more than 1:2.

Domestic sewage was treated by adopting flocculation, anaerobic and microaerobic combined process under normal temperature. The result demonstrates: total hydraulic retention time is 5.5h (chemical flocculation 1.0h, UASB reactor 2.0h and MUSB reactor 2.5h). UASB reactor can achieve anaerobic sludge granulation under normal temperature and is fairly feasible for low concentration domestic sewage treatment. Compared with single stage UASB reactor, hydraulic retention time of flocculation-UASB combined technique reduces from 4h to 2h. COD removal rate rises from 45% to 50%-60% and suspended COD is mainly removed. DO of microaerobic MUSB technique after anaerobic treatment is 0.2mg/L-0.5mg/L with air and water ratio of 1:1. Effluent quality is stable, in accordance with first standard of Synthetical Draining Standard of Sewage, GB8978—1996.

The Relationship

A sequencing batch biofilm filter (SBBF) was applied to treat domestic sewage. The bioreactor consisted of fibrous filler in the upper part and ceramsite filter media in the lower part. The impacts of the most important factors including dissolved oxygen (DO), water temperature and hydraulic retention time (HRT) were evaluated on contaminants removal during the operation of the SBBF. Changes in DO (1.5–4.0 mg/L) and water temperature (2–30 °C) had little effect on the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), but had a greater impact on the removal of total nitrogen (TN) and NH4+-N. Changes in HRT (8–14 h) had little effect on the removal of COD, but had a greater impact on the removal of TN, NH4+-N and total phosphorus. The optimal operating parameters for the SBBF were as follows: DO of 2–3 mg/L, water temperature above 10 °C, and HRT of 10–13 h. Furthermore, a simple kinetic model was developed, reflecting the relationship between COD and HRT.

Denitrification Kinetics

Effective nitrogen removal is now required to protect water quality in sensitive coastal areas. This involves a much more difficult treatment process than for conventional domestic sewage as wastewater quantity and quality exhibits severe fluctuations in touristic zones. Activated sludge is currently the most widely used wastewater treatment and may be upgraded as a predenitrification system for nitrogen removal. Interpretation of nitrification and denitrification kinetics reveal a number of useful correlations between significant parameters such as sludge age, C/N ratio, hydraulic retention time, total influent COD. Nitrogen removal potential of predenitrification may be optimized by careful evaluation of wastewater character and the kinetic correlations.

“Johkasou” is a small sewage treatment apparatus commonly used in Japan which can effectively treat domestic wastewater in places where a public sewage system is difficult to supply. The behaviour of enterohaemorrhagic E. coli 0157 and Salmonella enteritidis in a “Johkasou” was studied. Their reduction rates depended significantly on the water temperature in the “Johkasou” with minimal decrease in numbers at 10°C within 48 h. The reduction rates increased at 20°C and 30°C where 4 log reduction could be expected. The reduction rates were influenced by the BOD of the solutions that contained the pathogens with the lower the BOD the higher the reduction rate. The reduction rates were about the same between both pathogens. The result showed that it was necessary to disinfect the effluent as some pathogens can pass through the apparatus when some users of the apparatus excrete pathogens.

This paper presents the results of pilot system comprised of one UASB reactor followed by one trickling filter (TF). The UASB reactor had a volume of 416 litres, being operated at an average hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 4 hours. The trickling filter had a useful volume of 60 litres, being operated at hydraulic and organic loading rates varying from 3.4 to 30.6 m3/m2.d and 0.3 to 3.9 kgBOD/m3.d, respectively. These different operational conditions characterised eight research phases. Both reactors were fed with domestic sewage pumped directly from the main interceptor of Belo Horizonte City, Brazil. After almost 16 months of continuous monitoring, the UASB/TF system produced very good results in terms of COD and BOD removal, and also very low solids concentration in the final effluent. The average results of COD and BOD removal varied from 74 to 88% and from 80 to 94%, respectively, sufficient to maintain the COD concentration in the final effluent in the range of 60 to 120 mg/L and the BOD values systematically below 60 mg/L. The overall averages of SS in the final effluent were kept below 30 mg/L. The UASB/TF system is a very promising alternative for the treatment of domestic sewage in Brazil and other developing countries, since the system can be designed with very short hydraulic retention times, resulting in a very compact and low cost treatment unit. Besides, the energy consumption and the labour costs are minimal.

Air limbah yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan rumah tangga jika tidak dikelola dengan baik maka akan menimbulkan masalah yang serius bagi lingkungan. Salah satu solusi dalam mengatasi permasalahan air limbah, yang ada di Indonesia yaitu dengan menggunakan septic tank. Septic tank umum digunakan di Indonesia karena menggunakan prinsip anaerob, yang hanya dibuat kemudian dibiarkan saja, tanpa perawatan yang rutin, dan jika ingin operasionalnya optimal maka perlu dikuras dengan jangka waktu 1 kali dalam setahun. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetaui Perkiraan kualitas dari effluent (BOD & COD) septic tank dan Berapa kapasitas volume dari septic tank untuk rumah tempat tinggal. Metode penelitian Besaran air limbah yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan rumah tangga menuju septic tank menurut Jayanudin (2016), adalah sebesar 120 L/hari atau 0,12 m3/hari dengan jumlah anggota keluarga ideal yaitu 5 orang. Dalam penelitian ini, air limbah mengalir selama 12 jam yang berasal dari kegiatan rumah tangga. Kadar COD yang dihasilakan Effluent pada septic tank ini adalah sebesar 207 mg/ltr dan COD Removal rate sebesar 31,5%, sedangkan Kadar BOD yang dihasilkan Effluent pada septic tank ini sebesar 411 mg/l dan BOD removal rate sebesar 31,5%. Untuk Akumulasi Volume lumpur yang dihasilkan selama 2 tahun (24 Bulan) adalah sebesar 0,081m3. Penurunan volume lumpur/sludge pada septic tank sebesar 68% atau Setelah 24 bulan volume lumpur menjadi 0,055 m3, semakin lama waktu penyimpanan lumpur di septic tank maka volumenya akan semakin berkurang. Volume septic tank yang dibutuhkan untuk menginapkan limbah selama 15 jam adalah sebesar 0,075, Semakin lama waktu Hydraulic retention time (HRT)/waktu tinggal limbah, maka akan semakin baik penguraian mikroorganisme dalam septic tank serta sebaliknya, semakin singkat waktu HRT maka proses penguraiannya samakin tidak baik.

The objective of this study was to study the use of tifton 85 grass (Cynodon sp.) in wetland systems. For this, the dry matter production was evaluated when subjected to hydraulic retention times. The results allowed to conclude that tifton 85 grass was suitable for use in SAC treatment systems, with a two-day hydraulic retention time (referring to a surface application rate of 110 kg ha-1 d-1 of BOD) provided the highest dry matter yield and, consequently, higher nutrient removal.   Keywords: Cynodon spp., dry mass, wetlands, wastewater.
