Investigation of Biologically-produced Solids in Moving Bed Bioreactor (MBBR) Treatment Systems

Soleimani Karizmeh, Mohsen 07 November 2012 (has links)
Lower production rate of solids in attached growth moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) systems as compared to conventional activated sludge (AS) systems makes them an attractive choice for municipal wastewater treatment (Ødergaard et al. 1994). However, the production of biologically-produced solids in MBBR systems is currently not well defined and requires additional investigation. Three identical MBBR reactors were operated under the same dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, influent pH and volume of Anoxkalnes media in two different experimental phases. In the first phase, the hydraulic retention time (HRT) kept constant in three reactors and SALR increased and in the second phase, the SALR was the constant parameter while HRT increased. These two phases were implemented to investigate the effect of variations in HRT and SALR on biologically-produced solids in MBBR reactors. This study demonstrated that HRT and SALR play an important role in settling characteristics of the biologically-produced solids in MBBR systems.

Phase behaviour of colloidal fluids with competing attractive and repulsive effective potentials

Wheater, Rhys January 2016 (has links)
For some time it was believed that simple, single - component, fluid phase behaviour was limited to a homogeneous gas and homogeneous liquid phase separated by a line of first order phase transitions. However, recent studies have demonstrated that simple fluid behaviour can be extended to richer phase diagrams through tuning of the effective potential. Fluids whose constituent particles feel a strong attraction at close range and weak repulsion at longer ranges have been shown, under certain conditions, to assemble into heterogeneous structures such as spherical and cylindrical clusters, lamellae and spherical and cylindrical voids. Lattice Monte Carlo simulations are used to explore the phase diagram of a single - component fluid following a hard - core effective potential with an attractive and a repulsive Yukawa tail. The relative strngths of attractive and repulsive potentials are found for which heterogeneous structures become stable. Then the region of stability of heterogeneous structures is delimited through the use of histogram reweighting to map out the locus of points at which the homogeneous and heterogeneous states have equal free energy. A transition matrix Monte Carlo biasing technique is used to reveal the system behaviour inside the free energy barrier at low temperatures, when the gas - liquid phase transition appears to have re-asserted itself. Finally, a discussion as to the mechanism for assembly of the heterogeneous structures is offered.
