Auf Grund der Zielstellungen des Klimaschutzes und den Szenarien der Ressourcenverfügbarkeit sowie der Energiekostenentwicklung wird das Energiemanagement bei der Betriebsführung von Abwasser- und Schlammbehandlungsanlagen an Bedeutung gewinnen, wobei die Maßnahmen des Energiemanagements mit den grundlegenden Zielen der Abwasser- und Schlammbehandlung zu vereinen sind. Zentrale Elemente des Energie-managements stellen die Nutzung eines breiten Energiespektrums und der Einsatz energieeffizienter Betriebsführungen, Techniken und Technologien dar. Eine Möglichkeit betriebstechnischer Optimierungen besteht in der Anwendung der Verfahrenskombination aus Desintegration und anaerober Schlammstabilisierung. Seit 10 – 15 Jahren wurde intensiv auf dem Gebiet der Klärschlammdesintegration geforscht, ohne dass allgemeingültige Aussagen über die Möglichkeiten der Desintegration ermittelt wurden. Anlässlich der dargestellten Sachlage und eigener Forschungsarbeiten auf dem Gebiet der Klärschlammdesintegration entstand die Idee zur vorliegenden Arbeit. Die Arbeit gibt in einer Literaturrecherche einen umfangreichen Überblick vorhandener Untersuchungen zur Verfahrenskombination Klärschlammdesintegration und anaerobe mesophile Schlammstabilisierung. Zu den untersuchten Desintegrationsapparaten und techniken gehören Rührwerkskugelmühle, Ultraschallhomogenisator, Hochdruck-homogenisator, Lysatzentrifuge, thermische Vorbehandlung, Hochleistungspulstechnik, Ozonbehandlung und die Kombination von thermischer Vorbehandlung mit Säuren- bzw. Laugenaufschluss. Zur Verbesserung der für die Auswertungen benötigten Datenbasis wurden labortechnische Untersuchungen zur anaerob mesophilen bzw. zur anaerob thermophilen Überschussschlammstabilisierung sowie zur Verfahrenskombination von Überschussschlammdesintegration mit anaerob mesophiler bzw. anaerob thermophiler Schlammstabilisierung durchgeführt Zur Desintegration wurden eine Rührwerkskugelmühle PE 075 (Fa. Netzsch-Feinmahltechnik), eine Fliehkraftkugelmühle S 100 (Retsch GmbH), ein Ultraschallhomogenisator UP 400S (Fa. Dr. Hielscher GmbH) eingesetzt sowie ein thermischer Aufschluss bei 75 °C und eine Kombination von thermischem Aufschluss bei 75 °C mit anschließender Unterdruckentspannung durchgeführt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beinhaltet eine umfangreiche Bewertung der Verfahrenskombination Überschussschlammdesintegration mit anschließender anaerob mesophiler Schlammstabilisierung. Speziell wurden in diesem Zusammenhang gezielte Untersuchungen zu variierenden Klärschlammqualitäten, Milieubedingungen der anaeroben Stabilisierung (Verweilzeit, Temperatur) und Desintegrationsverfahren (mechanisch, niederthermisch) durchgeführt. Die Auswertungen zeigen, dass die Wirkung dieser Verfahrenskombination maßgeblich durch die anaerobe Abbaubarkeit der Referenzüberschussschlämme bestimmt wird, wobei sich der relative Einfluss der Desintegration mit steigendem Stabilisierungsgrad der Überschussschlämme erhöht. Als Grenze des organischen Abbauverhaltens von desintegrierten Überschussschlämmen kann von einem GV Abbau 59 % bzw. von einem zufuhrspezifischen Biogasanfall von 467 Nl/kg GVZu ausgegangen werden. Die aus der Desintegration resultierende Steigerung des anaeroben Abbauverhaltens von Überschussschlämmen bedingt einen Anstieg der CSBmf- bzw. NH4-N-Prozesswasserbelastung. Für die PO4-P- bzw.- Pges,mf-Anteile des Prozesswassers war kein Zusammenhang nachweisbar. Für die Verfahrenskombination Überschussschlammdesintegration mit anschließender anaerob mesophiler Schlammstabilisierung werden neben dem Einsatz zur Verbesserung des anaeroben Abbauverhaltens von Überschussschlämmen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten zur Sanierung überlasteter Faulbehälter bzw. zur Minimierung notwendiger anaerober Reaktionsvolumina aufgezeigt. Entsprechend der Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit ist durch eine vorgeschaltete Überschussschlammdesintegration eine Verkürzung der anaeroben Stabilisierungszeit von 16 – 24 d auf 7 – 12 d möglich, ohne dass eine Verminderung des organischen Abbaus von Überschussschlämmen toleriert werden muss. Gesonderte Auswertungen befassen sich mit der Wirkung der Desintegration auf die anaerobe Abbaubarkeit der im Überschussschlamm enthaltenen Stoffgruppen Fette, Kohlenhydrate und Eiweiße. Es ist festzustellen, dass das anaerob mesophile Abbauverhalten einzelner im Überschussschlamm gebundener Stoffgruppen infolge einer Vorbehandlung durch Desintegrationsverfahren nicht/oder nur unwesentlich verändert wird. Im weiteren Verlauf der Arbeit wurden Nomogramme zur Prognose des Desintegrations-einflusses auf das anaerob mesophile Abbauverhalten von Überschussschlämmen erarbeitet, die es dem planenden Ingenieur bzw. dem Betriebsingenieur gestatten, die Auswirkungen eines Einsatzes der Kombination von Überschussschlammdesintegration und anaerob mesophiler Stabilisierung zu bewerten. Die Darstellungen ermöglichen eine Spezifizierung nach dem Grad der mechanischen Abwasserbehandlung und des in der biologischen Abwasserbehandlung praktizierten Gesamtschlammalters. Die Prognosemöglichkeiten umfassen den für desintegrierte Überschussschlämme bei der anaerob mesophilen Schlamm-stabilisierung auftretenden GV Abbau, den zufuhrspezifischen Biogasanfall sowie die resultierende CSBmf- und NH4-N-Prozesswasserbelastung. In Abhängigkeit der Verfahrens- und Betriebsführung der Abwasserbehandlung führt die Desintegration im Mittel zu einer maximalen absoluten Veränderung des GV-Abbaus bzw. des zufuhrspezifischen Biogas¬anfalls von Überschussschlämmen von 13 % bzw. 90 l/kg GVZu. Die Spannweiten der CSBmf- bzw. NH4-N-Prozesswasserbelastung betragen 0,5 – 6,5 % bzw. 3,0 – 18,0 % der Frachten des Kläranlagenzulaufes. Die vorliegende Arbeit enthält erstmals Ergebnisse zur Verfahrenskombination Überschussschlammdesintegration mit anschließender anaerob thermophiler Schlammstabilisierung. Gemäß den Versuchsauswertungen werden das anaerobe Abbauverhalten von Überschussschlämmen unter thermophilen Milieubedingungen und die daraus resultierenden Prozess-wasserbelastungen durch eine vorgeschaltete Überschussschlammdesintegration nur unwesentlich beeinflusst. Abschließend ordnet die Arbeit das Leistungsvermögen der Verfahrenskombination Über-schussschlammdesintegration + anaerob mesophile Schlammstabilisierung gegenüber anderen Optimierungsmöglichkeiten der anaeroben Schlammstabilisierung ein. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, dass durch einen Wechsel des Temperaturniveaus der anaeroben Schlammstabilisierung vom mesophilen in den thermophilen Bereich der unter mesophilen Bedingungen erreichbare GV Abbau bzw. zufuhrspezifische Biogasanfall unbehandelter Überschussschlämme ähnlich beeinflusst werden kann, wie es durch die Kombination von Überschussschlammdesintegration und anschließender anaerober mesophiler Schlammstabilisierung möglich ist. Gleichzeitig ist bei der anaerob thermophilen Stabilisierung unbehandelter Überschussschlämme gegenüber der anaerob mesophilen Stabilisierung desintegrierter Überschussschlämme eine höhere Prozesswasserbelastung zu erwarten.

Nitrogen and phosphorus removal is often required before discharge of treated wastewater to sensitive water bodies. Kayseri Wastewater Treatment Plant (KWWTP) is a biological wastewater treatment plant that includes nitrogen and phosphorus removal along with carbon removal. The KWWTP receives both municipal wastewater and industrial wastewaters. In this study, KWWTP was modeled by using a software called GPS-X, which is developed for modeling municipal and industrial wastewaters. The Activated Sludge Model No.2d (ASM2d) developed by the International Association on Water Quality (IAWQ) was used for the simulation of the treatment plant. In this model, carbon oxidation, nitrification, denitrification and biological phosphorus removal are simulated at the same time. During the calibration of the model, initially, sensitivities of the model parameters were analyzed. After sensitivity analysis, dynamic parameter estimation (DPE) was carried out for the optimization of the sensitive parameters. Real plant data obtained from KWWTP were used for DPE. The calibrated model was validated by using different sets of data taken from various seasons after necessary temperature adjustments made on the model. Considerably good fits were obtained for removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) and nitrogen related compounds. However, the results for phosphorus removal were not satisfactory, probably due to lack of information on volatile fatty acids concentration and alkalinity of the influent wastewater.

Currently at the Savannah River Site (SRS), there are fifteen single-shell, 3.6-million liter tanks containing High Level Waste. To close the tanks, the sludge must be removed. Mechanical methods have had limited success. Oxalic acid cleaning is now being considered as a new technology. This research uses sample results and chemical equilibrium software to develop a preferred flowsheet and evaluate the acceptability of the system impacts. Based on modeling and testing, between 246,000 to 511,000 l of 8 wt% oxalic acid were required to dissolve a 9,000 liter Purex sludge heel. For SRS H-Area modified sludge, 322,000 to 511,000 l were required. To restore the pH of the treatment tank slurries, approximately 140,000 to 190,000 l of 50 wt% NaOH or 260,000 to 340,000 l of supernate were required. When developing the flowsheet, there were two primary goals to minimize downstream impacts. The first was to ensure that the Resultant oxalate solids were transferred to DWPF, without being washed. The second was to transfer the remaining soluble sodium oxalates to the evaporator drop tank, so they do not transfer through or precipitate in the evaporator pot. Adiabatic modeling determined the maximum possible temperature to be 73.5°C and the maximum expected temperature to be 64.6°C. At one atmosphere and at 73.5°C, a maximum of 770 l of water vapor was generated, while at 64.6°C a maximum 254 l of carbon dioxide were generated. Although tank wall corrosion was not a concern, because of the large cooling coil surface area, the corrosion induced hydrogen generation rate was calculated to be as high as 10,250 l/hr. Since the minimum tank purge exhaust was assumed to be 5,600 l/hr, the corrosion induced hydrogen generation rate was identified as a potential concern. Excluding corrosion induced hydrogen, trending the behavior of the spiked constituents of concern, and considering conditions necessary for ignition, energetic compounds were shown not to represent an increased risk Based on modeling, about 56,800 l of Resultant oxalates could be added to a washed sludge batch with minimal impact on the number of additional glass canisters produced. For each sludge batch, with 1 to 3 heel dissolutions, about 60,000 kg of sodium oxalate entered the evaporator system, with most collecting in the drop tank, where they will remain until eventual salt heel removal. For each 6,000 kg of sodium oxalate in the drop tank, about 189,000 l of Saltstone feed would eventually be produced. Overall, except for corrosion-induced hydrogen, there were no significant process impacts that would forbid the use of oxalic acid in cleaning High Level Waste tanks. / MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES / M.

O presente trabalho avaliou a possibilidade de receber e tratar resíduo de tanques sépticos num sistema dimensionado para tratar esgoto doméstico. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o co-tratamento deste resíduo numa estação de tratamento de esgoto composta por processo de lodos ativados. Para a realização desta avaliação utilizou-se o modelo matemático ASM1 e o software WRc Stoat 5.0. O modelo ASM1 descreve a remoção de matéria orgânica carbonácea, a nitrificação e a desnitrificação. Para atender ao objetivo proposto, foram realizadas simulações de quatro grupo de cenários, sendo que em cada grupo a ETE operava com uma vazão fixa e foi alterada a parcela de resíduo de tanque séptico a ser tratada no sistema. Para a realização das simulações, previamente realizou-se a estruturação do modelo matemático ao sistema de tratamento selecionado, ajustes dos coeficientes estequiométricos e parâmetros cinéticos e determinaram-se as concentrações de entrada e o fracionamento da DQO e do nitrogênio para o esgoto bruto e para o resíduo de tanque séptico. As simulações geraram como resultado a possibilidade de, num sistema dimensionado para uma vazão média de 180 m3/h e operado com uma vazão de 45 m3/h de esgoto doméstico receber 4,3 m3/h de resíduo de tanque séptico sem comprometer os padrões de lançamento. Já, no caso da mesma ETE operando com 90 m3/h, 135 m3/h e 162 m3/h, as parcelas possíveis de serem recebidas de resíduo de tanque séptico e concomitantemente atendendo aos padrões de lançamento definidos na legislação foram 3,6 m3/h, 3,3 m3/h e 2,9 m3/h. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que é viável co-tratar resíduo de tanque séptico com o esgoto doméstico e ao mesmo tempo atender aos padrões de lançamento definidos na legislação, desde que respeitados os fatores limitantes e as cargas máximas. O recebimento e o tratamento do resíduo de tanque séptico em sistemas projetados para esgoto doméstico mostram-se como práticas que podem ser implantados na gestão dos sistemas de esgotamento sanitário. Esta aplicação poderia contribuir para ampliar a correta destinação dos esgotos e consequentemente com a melhoria dos índices de atendimento do esgotamento sanitário. / The present work evaluated the possibility of receiving and treating septic tank residue in a system designed to treat domestic sewage. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the co-treatment of this residue in a sewage treatment plant with an activated sludge process. The ASM1 model and software WRc Stoat 5.0 were used to perform this evaluation. The ASM1 model describes the removal of carbonaceous organic matter, nitrification and denitrification processes. To attend the proposed objective, simulations of four scenarios group were realized and in each group the system operated with a fixed flow and was changed the portion of septic tank residue. Before running the simulations, the mathematical model was structured to the selected treatment system, adjustments of the stoichiometric coefficients and kinetic parameters and were determined the inputs and fractionations concentration of the COD and nitrogen for the sewage and the septic tank residue. The simulation results show that is possible, in a system designed for an average flow of 180 m3/h and underloaded with a domestic sewage flow of 45 m3/h to receive 4.3 m3/h of septic tank residue without compromising the standards. For systems operating at 90 m3/h, 135 m3/h and 162 m3/h, the possible parcels to be received from septic tank residue without compromising standards defined in the legislation were, respectively, 3.6 m3/h, 3.3 m3/h and 2.9 m3/h. The results allow the conclusion that it is feasible to co-treat septic tank residue with domestic sewage and at the same time respect the standards defined in the legislation, once the limiting flowrates and maximum loads are respected. The acceptance and treatment of septic tank residue in systems designed for domestic sewage are practices that can be implemented in the management of sanitary sewage systems. That can be enplaned to improve the management of sewage systems, therefore, expanding the correct destination of wastewater and consequently contribute to the improvement of sanitary sewage index.

O aumento da concentração de nutrientes nos corpos receptores, principalmente nitrogênio e fósforo oriundos de efluentes sanitários e industriais pode gerar o fenômeno da eutrofização. Para que isto não ocorra é necessário que este efluente passe por um tratamento adequado, no entanto, o papel desempenhado por diversos grupos de microrganismos encontrados nos sistemas de tratamento de efluentes não é completamente compreendido devido à complexidade das interações. Este trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar a estrutura e dinâmica da comunidade microbiana (bactérias envolvidas no ciclo do nitrogênio e microfauna) e avaliar a atividade biológica dos reatores aeróbio e anaeróbio de uma indústria de alimentos. Os parâmetros físico-químicos da estação de tratamento foram monitorados, bem como foi feita a avaliação da estrutura e dinâmica da comunidade bacteriana envolvida no ciclo do nitrogênio por meio da técnica de Hibridização in situ Fluorescente. A microfauna do reator aeróbio foi caracterizada e classificada conforme o Índice Biótico do Lodo. A atividade biológica do lodo foi avaliada através do Teste de Respirometria e foram feitas correlações entre a microbiota encontrada no reator aeróbio e parâmetros físico-químicos. Os parâmetros físico-químicos analisados estiveram dentro dos limites permitidos pelas legislações federais e estaduais e os parâmetros Demanda Bioquímica de Oxigênio, Demanda Química de Oxigênio e Nitrogênio Kjeldahl foram reduzidos de 99,8%, 99,6% e 74,9%, respectivamente. Foi possível observar a presença tanto de bactérias oxidadoras de nitrito quanto de amônia em ambos os reatores analisados, bem como em cada ponto de coletas dentro dos reatores. A bactéria Pseudomonas fluorescens também ocorreu em todos os pontos de coleta dos dois reatores. Dentre os grupos que compõem a microfauna do lodo ativado, os ciliados rastejantes foram os mais frequentes, seguido pelas tecamebas, rotíferos, ciliados sésseis, ciliados livre natantes, flagelados e outros invertebrados. Além disso, não houve diferença entre as densidades dos grupos encontradas nos Pontos 1 e 2 do reator aeróbio e o Índice Biótico do Lodo encontrado foi igual a 8 (classe I). A semelhança apresentada entre a Taxa de Consumo de Oxigênio dos pontos 1 e 2, bem como a Taxa de Consumo de Oxigênio específica entre os pontos 1 e 2 sugere que o oxigênio é distribuído de forma homogênea dentro do tanque de aeração, fazendo com que os microrganismos tenham condições semelhantes de crescimento. Os ciliados livre natantes apresentaram correlação positiva com a DQO e DBO5 e os ciliados sésseis apresentaram correlação negativa com a DQO e com a DBO5. Os rotíferos apresentaram correlação negativa com Sólidos Suspensos Voláteis do reator aeróbio. Os ciliados rastejantes, tecamebas e rotíferos apresentaram correlação positiva com a microfauna total encontrada no reator aeróbio. Os ciliados livre natantes apresentaram correlação negativa com os ciliados sésseis, bactérias totais, Nitrobacter e outras bactérias; e correlação positiva com outros invertebrados. Os flagelados apresentaram correlação negativa com as bactérias totais, enquanto as outras bactérias apresentaram correlação positiva. Os outros invertebrados apresentaram correlação negativa com Nitrobacter. / The increasing concentration of nutrients in receiving water bodies, especially nitrogen and phosphorus originating from domestic and industrial effluent discharges can cause eutrophication. In order to avoid that, the effluents must be properly treated for nutrients removal in wastewater treatment plants prior discharge. However, the role played by various groups of microorganisms found in wastewater treatment systems is not completely understood due to the complexity of interactions. This study aimed to characterize the structure and dynamics of microbial community (with focus on bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle and microfauna) and evaluate the biological activity of aerobic and anaerobic reactors for wastewater treatment operated at a food industry. The physical and chemical parameters of the treatment plant were monitored. At the same time, hybridization in situ fluorescent assessed the structure and dynamics of bacterial community involved in the nitrogen cycle. The microfauna in the aerobic reactor were characterized and classified according to the Sludge Biotic Index. The sludge biological activity was assessed by respirometry assays and correlations were made between the microbiota found in the aerobic reactor and selected physicochemical parameters. The physical and chemical parameters analysed complied with the limits allowed by the federal and state regulations and parameters Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Kjeldahl nitrogen were reduced 99.8%, 99.6% and 74.9%, respectively. It was found the presence of both nitrite-oxidizing and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in both reactors and in each sampling point within the reactors. Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria also occurred in all collection points of both reactors. Among the microorganism groups observed in the activated sludge, crawling ciliates were the most frequent, followed by tecamoebians, rotifers, ciliates sessile, free natant ciliates, flagellates and other invertebrates. In addition, there was no difference between the densities of the groups found in Points 1 and 2 in the aerobic reactor and the Sludge Biotic Index was found equal to 8 (class I). The similarity between the presented Oxygen Consumption Rate of items 1 and 2 as well as the Oxygen Consumption Rate particularly between points 1 and 2 suggest that oxygen is distributed evenly within the aeration tank, causing the microorganisms to have similar growth conditions. The free natant ciliates were positively correlated with COD and BOD5 and sessile ciliates showed a negative correlation with the COD and the BOD5. Rotifers were negatively correlated with Suspended Volatile Solids in the aerobic reactor. Crawling ciliates, rotifers and the tecamoebians were positively correlated with the total microorganisms found in the aerobic reactor. The free natant ciliates showed a negative correlation with the sessile ciliates, total bacteria, Nitrobacter and other bacteria and a positive correlation with other invertebrates. The flagellates were negatively correlated with the total bacteria, while other bacteria were positively correlated. The other invertebrates showed a negative correlation with Nitrobacter.

O lançamento de poluentes no ambiente tem estado sobre severo controle nos países desenvolvidos e vem crescendo a importância dada ao problema nos países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil e Cabo Verde. Uma alternativa viável para a destinação de resíduos é a sua aplicação na agricultura, como recondicionante do solo, podendo se tornar relevante do ponto de vista econômico e ambiental. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos causados pelo uso do lodo de esgoto em solo cultivado com rabanete (Raphanus sativus L.). O trabalho foi conduzido em área experimental situada na Comunidade Famílias Unidas, no bairro de Santa Mônica, município de Camaragibe, Pernambuco, Brasil, em solo ARGISSOLO VERMELHO Distrófico. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados, com cinco tratamentos (zero, 25, 50 e 75 Mg ha-1 de lodo de esgoto mais 25 Mg ha-1 de lodo de esgoto vermicompostado com a Vermelha da Califórnia Eisenia foetida) e três repetições. Os canteiros de alvenaria mediram 1 m de largura por 6 m de comprimento e 0,20 m de profundidade, com 21 fileiras espaçadas de 0,35 m entre fileiras e 0,15 m entre plantas. A colheita do rabanete foi realizada 30 dias após semeadura, observando-se, após análise estatística, uma produção em torno de 18 t/ha na dose equivalente a 25 Mg ha-1 de lodo de esgoto. Os demais parâmetros analisados também responderam de acordo com os limites da legislação à presença do lodo de esgoto / The release of pollutants in the environment has been under severe control in developed countries. In developing countries like Brazil and Cabo Verde this control has also been increasing. A viable alternative for the purpose of this waste is its application in agriculture as reconditionant soil, thus becoming important from the economic and environmental points of view. This study aimed to evaluate the effects caused by the use of sewage sludge on land cultivated with radish (Raphanus sativus L.). The work was conducted in an experimental area located in the United Families Community, in the district of Santa Monica, City of Camaragibe, Pernambuco, Brazil, using Dystrophic RED ARGISOIL soil. A randomized block experimental design with five treatments (zero, 25, 50 and 75 Mg ha-1 of sewage sludge and 25 Mg ha-1 of humus California red - Eisenia foetida) and three repetitions was used. The masonry plots measured 1 m wide, 6 m long and 0.20 m deep, with 21 rows spaced between rows of 0.35 m and 0.15 m between plants. The harvest of the radish was held 30 days after sowing. It was observed, after statistical analysis, a production of around 18 t / ha in the dose equivalent to 25 Mg ha-1 of sewage sludge. The other examined parameters had also a positive behaviour in the presence of sewage sludge

O leito de secagem convencional de areia ainda é o método mais utilizado no Brasil para desaguamento de lodo em ETE de pequeno e médio porte. No entanto, devido ao aumento de fiscalização por órgãos ambientais, aumento de exigência por qualidade no tratamento de água e esgoto, custos elevados no gerenciamento, além de problemas com a eficiência de secagem final do lodo, odores e manutenção dos leitos, as empresas têm buscado alternativas de novas tecnologias, e/ou até mesmo por otimizações nos próprios leitos. Uma alternativa que tem se mostrado eficiente no desaguamento de lodos é o leito modificado com piso de blocos drenantes. Porém, ainda há pouca experiência com relação ao dimensionamento do leito, à sua operação e à sua eficiência por ser uma tecnologia pouca explorada no exterior e recém-chegada ao Brasil. Portanto esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o desaguamento de lodo de esgoto em leito com piso de blocos drenantes nas fases de drenagem e secagem. A drenagem do lodo foi avaliada através da vazão de drenagem após filtração de lodo no bloco drenante, da redução de volume de lodo no leito e da caracterização da qualidade da água drenada. Já a secagem foi avaliada a partir da variação do teor de sólidos totais do lodo durante o período de secagem. Como é um processo natural de secagem, o acompanhamento das condições climáticas local foi realizada. Os resultados foram satisfatórios tanto para o lodo aeróbio quanto para o anaeróbio. Em relação a drenagem, após um dia do descarte de lodo no leito com piso de blocos drenantes houve redução em torno de 90% do volume para lodo aeróbio e 70% para lodo anaeróbio. Já o teor de sólidos totais final obtido na secagem variou de acordo com o tipo de lodo, volume, taxa de aplicação de sólidos e condições climáticas. O melhor resultado de secagem para o lodo aeróbio foi de 95,3% de sólidos totais em 36 dias de secagem, e para o lodo anaeróbio, o máximo atingido foi de 63,5% em 24 dias, em condições de secagem diferentes. / This research about wedge wire floor sludge bed was developed in three stages, first one was a monitoring in real scale with aerobic sludge discards, another one performed in a pilot scale with anaerobic sludge discard, both generated in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), and the third stage was a survey of operational information of some wedge wire floor sludge bed in operation in Brazil. The conventional sand drying bed is still the most used system in Brazil for dewatering and drying of sludge generated during sewage treatment in small and médium size WWTP. However, due to the increase in inspection by environmental agencies, increased demands for quality in treatment, high costs in management, as well as problems with final sludge drying efficiency, odors and bed maintenance, the companies have been looking for alternatives to new technologies, and even optimizations in existing beds. An alternative that has proven efficient in the dewatering of sludge is the modified sludge bed with wedge wire floor. However, there is still little experience with the dimensioning of the bed, its operation and efficiency because it is a technology that has not been used abroad and recently arrived in Brazil. Therefore, this research had as objective to evaluate the dewatering of sewage sludge in wedge wire bed in the drainage and drying phases. The drainage of the sludge was evaluated through the drainage flow after filtration in the wedge wire floor, the reduction of sludge volume in the bed and the characterization of the quality of the drained water. Drying was evaluated by increasing the total solid content of the sludge during the entire drying period. As it is a natural drying process, monitoring of the local climatic conditions was performed. The results were satisfactory for both aerobic and anaerobic sludge. In relation to the drainage, after one day from discharge in the bed, there was a reduction of around 90% of the volume for aerobic sludge and 70% for anaerobic sludge. However, the final solid content obtained in the drying varied according to the type of sludge, volume, solids application rate and climatic conditions. The best drying result for aerobic sludge was 95.3% of total solid in 36 days of drying, and for anaerobic sludge the maximum reached was 63.5% in 24 days, in different climate conditions.

In order to avoid that, the effluents must be properly treated for nutrients removal in wastewater treatment plants prior discharge. However, the role played by various groups of microorganisms found in wastewater treatment systems is not completely understood due to the complexity of interactions. This study aimed to characterize the structure and dynamics of microbial community (with focus on bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle and microfauna) and evaluate the biological activity of aerobic and anaerobic reactors for wastewater treatment operated at a food industry. The physical and chemical parameters of the treatment plant were monitored. At the same time, hybridization in situ fluorescent assessed the structure and dynamics of bacterial community involved in the nitrogen cycle. The microfauna in the aerobic reactor were characterized and classified according to the Sludge Biotic Index. The sludge biological activity was assessed by respirometry assays and correlations were made between the microbiota found in the aerobic reactor and selected physicochemical parameters. The physical and chemical parameters analysed complied with the limits allowed by the federal and state regulations and parameters Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Kjeldahl nitrogen were reduced 99.8%, 99.6% and 74.9%, respectively. It was found the presence of both nitrite-oxidizing and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in both reactors and in each sampling point within the reactors. Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria also occurred in all collection points of both reactors. Among the microorganism groups observed in the activated sludge, crawling ciliates were the most frequent, followed by tecamoebians, rotifers, ciliates sessile, free natant ciliates, flagellates and other invertebrates. In addition, there was no difference between the densities of the groups found in Points 1 and 2 in the aerobic reactor and the Sludge Biotic Index was found equal to 8 (class I). The similarity between the presented Oxygen Consumption Rate of items 1 and 2 as well as the Oxygen Consumption Rate particularly between points 1 and 2 suggest that oxygen is distributed evenly within the aeration tank, causing the microorganisms to have similar growth conditions. The free natant ciliates were positively correlated with COD and BOD5 and sessile ciliates showed a negative correlation with the COD and the BOD5. Rotifers were negatively correlated with Suspended Volatile Solids in the aerobic reactor. Crawling ciliates, rotifers and the tecamoebians were positively correlated with the total microorganisms found in the aerobic reactor. The free natant ciliates showed a negative correlation with the sessile ciliates, total bacteria, Nitrobacter and other bacteria and a positive correlation with other invertebrates. The flagellates were negatively correlated with the total bacteria, while other bacteria were positively correlated. The other invertebrates showed a negative correlation with Nitrobacter.

It is necessary to investigate new applications for this waste type, due to the restrictions imposed by the environmental organs. The raw materials used in the Red Ceramic, are generally very heterogeneous, for this reason, such materials can tolerate the presence of different types of wastes. In Rio Grande do Norte, the roof tiles production corresponds to 60,61% from the total of ceramic units produced. Due to the importance of the ceramic industry of roof tiles for the state, allied to the environmental problem of the sludge disposal, this work had for objective to verify the possibility of the incorporation of sewage sludge in ceramic body used for production of roof tiles. In the research, sludge originating from drying beds of WTP of the Central Campus from UFRN and clays originating from a ceramic industry from Goianinha/RN were used. The raw materials were characterized by techniques of: analysis of particles distribution by diffraction to laser; real density; consistence limits; chemical analysis by X-ray fluorescence; mineralogical analysis by X-ray diffraction; organic matter; and solids content. Five batches of roof tiles were manufactured in the approximate dosages of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%. To evaluate the properties of each final product, tests of water absorption, impermeability, bending strength, leachability and solubility were accomplished. The roof tiles manufactured with sludge presented characteristics similar to the roof tiles without sludge in relation to the environmental risk. The results showed that it is possible to use approximately up to 4% of sludge in ceramic bodies for production of roof tiles. However, it is observed that the high amount of organic matter (71%) present in the sludge is shown as factor that limits the sludge incorporation in ceramic bodies, worsening the quality of the roof tiles. It is necessary the use of mixtures of different raw materials under point of view of the granulometry and of the other chemical and mineralogical properties for the obtaining of a satisfactory mass to the production of ceramic roof tiles / A disposi??o de lodo de Esta??es de Tratamento de Esgotos (ETEs) ? um problema para qualquer municipalidade, por isso a quantidade de lodo produzido ? hoje um assunto fundamental na sele??o de m?todos de tratamento. Faz-se necess?rio investigar novas aplica??es para esse tipo de res?duo, face ?s restri??es impostas pelos ?rg?os ambientais. As mat?rias-primas utilizadas na Cer?mica Vermelha, em geral, s?o muito heterog?neas, por isso podem tolerar a presen?a de tipos diferentes de res?duos. No Rio Grande do Norte, a produ??o de telhas corresponde a 60,61% do total de pe?as cer?micas produzidas. Dada a import?ncia da ind?stria cer?mica de telhas para o estado, aliada ? problem?tica ambiental da disposi??o de lodo, este trabalho teve por objetivo verificar a possibilidade da incorpora??o de lodo de esgotos em massa cer?mica utilizada para fabrica??o de telhas. Foram utilizados na pesquisa lodo proveniente dos leitos de secagem da ETE do Campus Central da UFRN e argilas provenientes de uma ind?stria cer?mica de Goianinha/RN. As mat?rias-primas foram caracterizadas por t?cnicas de: an?lise de distribui??o de part?culas por difra??o ? laser; densidade real; limites de consist?ncia; an?lise qu?mica por fluoresc?ncia de raios X; an?lise mineral?gica por difra??o de raios X; mat?ria org?nica; e teor de s?lidos. Foram fabricados cinco lotes de telhas nas dosagens aproximadas de 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% e 10%. Para avaliar as propriedades de cada produto final, foram realizados ensaios de absor??o de ?gua, impermeabilidade, carga de ruptura ? flex?o, lixivia??o e solubiliza??o. As telhas fabricadas com lodo apresentaram caracter?sticas semelhantes ?s telhas sem lodo no que diz respeito ao risco ambiental. Os resultados mostraram que ? poss?vel utilizar aproximadamente at? 4% de lodo em massas cer?micas para fabrica??o de telhas. Contudo, observa-se que a elevada quantidade de mat?ria org?nica (71%) presente no lodo mostra-se como fator limitante na incorpora??o de lodo em massas cer?micas, comprometendo a qualidade das telhas. Destaca-se a necessidade de utiliza??o de misturas de diferentes mat?rias-primas do ponto de vista granulom?trico e das outras propriedades qu?micas e mineral?gicas para a obten??o de uma massa satisfat?ria ? produ??o de telhas cer?micas
