TitleActivated sludge diffusion for odour removal - Effects of H2S on the biomass
AbstractThe removal of odours from wastewater treatment plants through diffusion of odour-containing air volumes into the aerated basins was investigated in a bench scale experimental campaign which lasted more than 200 days. Hydrogen sulphide was selected as a model odorous compound and its removal efficiencies were experimentally evaluated along with its effects on the biomass and on the main biochemical processes. Two bench scale sequencing batch reactors were fed in parallel on real primary sewage and monitored for chemical oxygen demand removal, nitrification and denitrification. The balance of H2S was also monitored after adding to one of them a Na2S liquid solution of 17 mgS l(reactor)(-1) d(-1), corresponding to a gas-phase concentration of 240 mgS (Nm(3))(-1). Results showed an average sulphide removal of 94% in the reactor supplied with Na2S. Moreover, microbial composition did not show relevant variations after the addition of sulphide, and the good features of activated sludge flocs were maintained also in terms of sludge settleability. No relevant effects of sulphicle were detected on carbon and nitrogen metabolism and chemical oxygen demand removal, nitrification and denitrification efficiencies were always above 75% 95%, and 50% respectively, and comparable across the two reactors.
