Preservation techniques and carbon and nitrogen growth enhancement of batch cultivated UASB granulesCameron, Michelle 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc Food Sc )--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The potential use of the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) bioreactor is
limited by the extended start-up periods due to the time-consuming granulation
process and the fact that seeding inoculum is not freely available in most
developing countries like South Africa. The mass cultivation of granules would
provide the waste water treatment industry with suitable seeding inoculum and,
therefore, an efficient waste water treatment option would be more easily
available. By applying 'stress' conditions on a bioreactor system seeded with raw
anaerobic sludge, the population dynamics of the anaerobic community change
and the acidogens start to produce extracellular polymers, which in turn enhance
the granulation process by providing a matrix for the bacterial cells to adhere to.
These "environmental stress" conditions include changes in the C:P:N ratio's. The
aim of this study was, therefore, to assess the impact of different carbon and
nitrogen sources on the enhancement of granulation in a batch system, and to
determine the best preservation technique in terms of retainment of activity.
It was found that the carbon source and concentration had a significant
influence on batch granule enhancement. Low concentrations (2.g.l ̄ ¹)
of glucose
gave the best granule enhancement over a 14 day incubation period. Fruit
cocktail effluent was found to be a cheap and effective carbon source for batch
granule cultivation. It was found that different nitrogen sources did not have the
same impact on granule enhancement, however, urea, at all concentrations
tested, gave the best granule enhancement.
A major problem encountered during the study was the standardisation of
the inoculum. Significant granule enhancement comparisons between the
different carbon sources were impeded by the lack of a suitable and reliable form
of sludge standardisation. Future research needs to address this problem of the
standardisation of the sludge inoculum as this would lead to more kinetically
comparable results.
Mass granule culturing will require granule preservation without risking the
loss of activity. In the second study, six different preservation techniques and
storage periods were evaluated in terms of the retainment of activity. These
involved freeze-drying, vacuum freeze-drying, vacuum-drying, freezing, cold storage and room temperature preservation. Activity testing was used for
comparing the efficiency of the different preservation techniques in terms of the
tempo of biogas and methane production. Freeze-drying the granules, with
storage for up to 90 days was found to give the best retainment of activity,
followed by vacuum freeze-drying. The room temperature preserved samples
showed a sudden increase in activity by day 120, which could possibly be
explained by cell hydrolysis of the granules after day 90.
The highest activity was achieved after 10 h of incubation, and it was,
therefore, suggested that activity testing for evaluation purposes should use an
incubation time of only 10 h. Furthermore, only the basic test medium with added
glucose should be used for activity testing as it was observed that the addition of
lactate and acetic acid played no decisive role in determining the level of activity of
the granules.
This study recommends the use of low concentrations of glucose for
optimum granule enhancement during the mass cultivation of granules, and the
addition of low concentrations of lactate to ensure a stable system with no
acidification. It is also advisable to use a standardised sludge inoculum, as this
will allow more efficient comparisons. Freeze-drying is recommended as
preservationtechnique as this technique showed the best retainment of activity. A
storage period of 90 days is, however, too short to be of much use for the industry.
This will have to be investigated, together with the phenomenon of increased
activity after 90 days as shown by the room temperature preserved granules. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die potensiële gebruik van die "uptflow anaerobic sludge blanket" (UASB)
bioreaktor word beperk deur verlengde aansitprosedure as gevolg van die
tydsame granulasieproses en die feit dat geskikte inokulums nie vrylik beskikbaar
is in die meeste ontwikkelende lande, bv. Suid-Afrika nie. Die massa-kweking van
granules sal die afvalwater-industrie voorsien van 'n geskikte inokulum, en
sodoende 'n effektiewe opsie vir die behandeling van afvalwater beskikbaar stel.
Deur die aanwending van "stres" toestande op 'n reaktor, wat geinokuleer is met
rou anaerobe slyk, vind daar 'n verandering in die samestelling van die anaerobe
populasie plaas. Die laktaat-benuttende asidogene begin om ekstrasellulêre
polisakkariede te produseer wat die granulasieproses versnel deur 'n matriks te
voorsien waaraan die bakteriële selle kan heg. Hierdie "omgewings stres"
toestande sluit veranderinge in die C:P:N verhoudings in. Die doel van hierdie
studie was om die invloed van verskillende koolstof- en stikstofbronne op die
vermeerdering van granules te bepaal, asook om die beste preserveringstegniek
in terme van die behoud van aktiwiteit te bepaal.
Daar is gevind dat die koolstofbron en konsentrasie 'n betekenisvolle
invloed op granule-vermeerdering het. Lae konsentrasies glukose (2 g.I ̄ ¹) het tot
die grootste vermeerdering in granules oor 'n 14 dae inkubasieperiode gelei.
Vrugtekelkie-afvalwater is geidentifiseer as 'n goedkoop en effektiewe koolstofbron
wat ook gebruik kan word vir die kweking van granules. Voorts is gevind dat die
stikstofbron en konsentrasie nie so 'n groot invloed op granule-vermeerdering het
nie. Urea het nietemin die beste granule-vermeerdering vir al die konsentrasies
wat getoets is, gegee.
Standaardisasie van die inokulum was 'n groot probleem gedurende die
studie. Betekenisvolle vergelykings tussen die granule-vermeerderings verkry met
die verskeie groeimedia is bemoeilik deur die afwesigheid van 'n geskikte en
betroubare standaardisasie-metode. Toekomstige navorsing moet hierdie
probleem aanspreek aangesien dit sal lei tot meer kineties vergelykbare resultate.
Massa-kweking van granule sal 'n metode van granule-preservering vereis
sonder enige verlies van aktiwiteit. In die tweede studie is ses verskillende
preserverings-tegnieke en opbergings-periodes in terme van die behoud van aktiwiteit geëvalueer. Die tegnieke sluit in: vriesdroging; vakuum-vriesdroging;
vakuumdroging; bevriesing; koelopberging en kamertemperatuur-preservering.
Aktiwiteitstoetsing is gebruik vir die vergelyking van die effektiwiteit tussen die
verskillende preserverings-tegnieke in terme van die tempo van biogas- en
metaanproduksie. Die granules wat met behulp van die vriesdroogtegniek
gepreserveer is, het die beste behoud van aktiwiteit getoon, gevolg deur die
vakuum-gevriesdroogde granules. Die monsters wat by kamertemperatuur
gepreserveer is, het 'n skielike toename in aktiwiteit na 120 dae van opberging
getoon en 'n moontlike verklaring vir hierdie verskynsel kan sel-hidrolise van die
granules na 90 dae van opberging wees.
Die meeste aktiwiteit is behaal na 'n 10 h inkubasietyd, en dus word hierdie
inkubasietyd aanbeveel indien aktiwiteitstoetse vir evaluerings-doeleindes gedoen
word. Verder word aanbeveel dat slegs die glukose-verrykte basiese toetsmedia
vir aktiwiteitstoetsing gebruik word aangesien die byvoeging van laktaat en
asynsuur geen noemenswaardige rol speel in die bepaling van die vlak van
aktiwiteit van die granules nie.
Hierdie studie beveel die gebruik van lae glukosekonsentrasies aan vir
optimale vermeerdering van granules tydens die massakweking daarvan, asook
die byvoeging van lae konsentrasies laktaat om 'n stabiele sisteem met geen
versuring te verseker. Die gebruik van 'n gestandaardiseerde slyk-inokulum word
sterk aanbeveel aangesien dit meer vergelykbare resultate lewer. Vriesdroging
(as preserveringstegniek) het die beste behoud van aktiwiteit in die granules
getoon en word dus as preserveringstegniek aanbeveel. 'n Opbergingsperiode
van 90 dae is egter te kort om van veel waarde vir die industrie te wees. Hierdie
probleem, asook die verskynsel van 'n verhoging in aktiwiteit na 90 dae van die
granules wat by kamertemperatuur gepreserveer is, moet verder ondersoek word.

Extracellular polymer extraction and analysis from UASB granules and batch produced anaerobic granular sludgeVan Eeden, Alida Elizabeth 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MSc Food Sc)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The start-up period of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Bed (UASB) reactors can
significantly be reduced by enhancing the time-consuming granulation process
through the batch cultivation of anaerobic granular sludge and thus seeding the
reactor with this cultivated granular sludge, instead of raw anaerobic sludge. The
precise mechanism for granule formation is not well known, but it is believed that
extracellular polymers (ECP) play a critical role in the granulation process.
Information on the precise role of ECP is also limited and no universal
standardised method for ECP extraction is used at present. Therefore,
comparison of results from different researchers has to be made with great
caution.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate an ECP extraction methód so
as to optimise the extraction time, and then to correlate ECP composition of UASB
granules with granule metabolic activity. The impact of changes in the
environmental conditions, such as sludge sources (Paarl and Kraaifontein-sludge),
carbon growth substrates (yeast extract lactate, glucose medium and fruit cocktail
effluent) and batch cultivation techniques (roller-table and shake-waterbath), on
batch cultivation studies was also evaluated in terms of granule activity, ECP
composition and granule formation.
A physical extraction method was used to quantify the ECP content of
UASB granules from six different sources. The optimal extraction time was taken
as the time needed before cell lysis took place, and before intracellular material
started contributing to the ECP content of the granules. It was concluded that the
ECP composition was affected by the wastewater composition fed to the original
UASB reactors, It was also found that the activity test results could be used to
indirectly predict the activity of the different trophic groups present in the UASB
granules. A correlation was found between the activity test results and the total
ECP content, and this showed that the granules with the higher ECP yields
exhibited greater biogas (SB) and methanogenic (SM) activities. However, based
on the activity data and total ECP content, it appeared that a protein:carbohydrate
ratio < 1 affected the activity of the granules,
The sludge source used as inoculum for batch cultivation of anaerobic
granular sludge had a significant effect on granule formation. The use of a pre- granulated raw anaerobic sludge, such as the Paarl-sludge, resulted in a greater
increase in granule numbers at the end of the cultivation period. The acetic acid
activity profiles showed that the acetoclastic methanogens that are involved in
initiation of granulation by nucleus formation, were inactive or absent in the
different batch systems, with the exception of the roller-table glucose cultivated
Kraaifontein-sludge (RKG) batch system.
The addition of glucose as carbon growth substrate for batch cultivation not
only enhanced the activity of the acidogenic population, but also led to the
establishment to a greater variety of granule trophic groups within all the glucose
cultivated batch systems. The addition of fruit cocktail effluent as carbon
substrate enhanced ECP production in the Paarl-sludge cultivated batch systems.
However, the addition of carbon substrates showed no discernible trend on
granule formation itself. The roller-table cultivation technique resulted in the
higher increase in granule numbers, and it was speculated that the more vigorous
shake-waterbath technique probably shortened the contact time between biomass
and substrate.
Large variations in the ECP composition of the different batch systems were
found, and these were ascribed to the composition heterogeneity of different
sludges. For future studies, it is advisable to characterise sludge, both chemically
and microbiologically before using as inoculum. The selection of an appropriate
sludge inoculum should then lead to optimisation of the granulation process. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die aanvangsperiode van "Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Bed" (UASB) bioreaktors kan
noemenswaardig verminder word deur die tydsame granulasie proses te versnel
deur die vooraf lot-kweking van anaërobe granulêre slyk waarmee 'n reaktor dus
geïnokuleer kan word in plaas van rou anaërobe slyk. Die presiese meganisme
van granulevorming is nog nie welbekend nie, maar daar word beweer dat
ekstrasellulêre polimere (ECP) wel 'n kritiese rol speel in die granulasie proses.
Inligting; oor die presiese rol van ECP is ook nog beperk, en tans word daar nog ,
geen universele standaard metode vir ECP-ekstraksie gebruik nie. Gevolglik moet
resultate vanaf verskeie navorsers met groot omsigtigheid vergelyk word.
Die doelwitte van hierdie studie was om 'n ECP ekstraksiemetode te
evalueer deur die ekstraksietyd te optimiseer, en dan te korreleer met die ECP samestelling
en metaboliese aktiwiteit van die UASB granules. Die inwerking van
veranderinge in omgewingskondisies, soos slykbronne (Paarl- en
Kraaifontein-slyk), koolstofbronne (gisekstrak-Iaktaat-, glukose-medium en
vrugtekelkie-uitvloeisel) en lot-kwekingstegnieke (rol-tafel en skud-waterbad) op
lot-kweking studies in terme van granule aktiwiteit, ECP-samestelling en
granulevorming is ook ondersoek.
'n Fisiese ekstraksie metode is gebruik om die ECP-inhoud van UASB
granules vanaf ses verskillende bronne te bepaal. Die optimale ekstraksietyd is
geneem as die tyd benodig voordat sellise sal plaasvind en die intrasellulêre
materiaal 'n bydrae sal lewer tot die ECP-inhoud van granules. Dit is afgelei dat
die ECP-samestelling beïnvloed word deur die samestelling van die afvalwater wat
vir die oorspronklike UASB bioreaktors gevoer is. Voorts is gevind dat die
aktiwiteitstoets resultate indirek gebruik kan word vir die voorspelling van aktiwiteit
van die verskillende trofiese groepe wat in die UASB granules teenwoordig is. 'n
Korrelasie is gevind tussen die aktiwiteitstoets resultate en die totale ECP-inhoud
wat aangedui het dat granules met hoër ECP opbrengste, beter biogas (SB) en
metanogeniese (SM) aktiwiteit getoon het. Volgens die aktiwiteitsdata en totale
ECP-inhoud het dit egter geblyk dat 'n proteïen:koolhidraat verhouding < 1 die
aktiwiteit van granules beïnvloed het.
Die slykbron wat as inokulum gebruik is vir lot-kweking van' anaërobiese
granulêre slyk het 'n noemenswaardige invloed gehad op granulevorming. Die gebruik van 'n rou anaërobe slyk wat reeds 'n mate van granulasie getoon het,
soos die Paarl-slyk, het 'n hoër toename in granule getalle aan die einde van die
kwekingsperiode teweeg gebring. Die asynsuur aktiwiteitsprofiele het aangedui
dat die asetoklastiese metanogene, wat hoofsaaklik betrokke is by inisiëring van
granulasie deur kernvorming, onaktief of afwesig was in al die verskillende lotsisteme,
met die uitsondering van die roltafel glukose-gekultiveerde Kraaifonteinslyk
(RKG) lot-sisteem.
Die toevoeging van glukose as koolstofbron vir lot-kweking het nie alleenlik
die aktiwiteit van die asidogene populasie verhoog nie, maar het ook bygedra tot
die vestiging van 'n groter verskeidenheid van granule trofiese groepe. Die
toevoeging van vrugtekelkie-uitvloeisel as koolstofbron het die produksie van ECP
verhoog in die Paarl-slyk gekweekte lot-sisteme. Die toevoeging van
koolstofsubstrate het egter geen merkbare verandering getoon in granulasie
opsigself nie. Die rol-tafel kwekingstegniek het 'n hoër toename in granule getalle
tot gevolg gehad, en dit is gespekuleer dat die meer kragtige skud-waterbad
tegniek waarskynlik die kontaktyd tussen die substraat en biomassa verkort het.
Groot variasies is gevind in die ECP-samestelling van die verskillende lotsisteme,
en dit is toegeskryf aan die heterogene samestelling van die verskillende
slyke. Vir toekomstige navorsing is dit raadsaam om slyk voor gebruik as
inokulum beide chemies en mikrobiologies te karakteriseer. Die keuse van 'n geskikte slyk-inokulum sal bydra tot die optimisering van die granulasie proses.

Previous issue date: 2017-05-02 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / Biorreatores têm sido estudados para obtenção de H2, um produto de alto valor agregado usado na indústria química e afim e na produção de energia. Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido um método para análise de compostos orgânicos voláteis (VOCs) produzidos em biorreatores para auxiliar na pesquisa e no controle operacional da produção de H2. Com base nos compostos de interesse foi otimizado um procedimento de microextração líquido-líquido (LLME) para recuperação destes do meio aquoso. Para isto foi usado 400 µL de 1-octanol, um solvente lipofílico e biodegradável, sulfato de sódio e 1,2 mL de amostra. Em seguida foi desenvolvido um método de separação e detecção por cromatografia em fase gasosa acoplada a um detector de ionização em chama (GC-FID). A separação foi feita usando coluna de polietilenoglicol de 30 m de comprimento e hélio como gás de arraste. O tempo de análise total foi de 16 min. Através deste método foi possível extrair, separar e quantificar 12 compostos: acetona, metanol, etanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, ácido acético, ácido propiônico, ácido butírico, ácido isovalérico, ácido valérico, ácido capróico e ácido láctico. Todas as curvas analíticas foram validadas usando a análise de variância (ANOVA). Além disso, foram calculadas algumas figuras de mérito, como o limite de detecção, o intervalo de quantificação, a exatidão e a precisão. Foram realizados testes de efeito matriz e estabilidade da amostra. Algumas amostras provenientes dos biorreatores de produção de H2 foram analisadas através do método proposto. O método desenvolvido mostrou-se preciso, exato e tem vasta gama de aplicação. / Bioreactors have been studied to obtain H2, a high value-added product used in the chemical and allied industry and in energy production. In this work a method was developed for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced in bioreactors to assist in the research and operational control of H2 production. Based on the compounds of interest, a liquid-liquid micro extraction procedure (LLME) was optimized for recovery of these from the aqueous medium. 400 μl of 1-octanol, a lipophilic and biodegradable solvent, sodium sulfate and 1.2 mL of sample were used for this. Next, a separation and detection method was developed by gas chromatography coupled to a flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The separation was done using 30 m polyethylene glycol column and helium as carrier gas. The total analysis time was 16 min. This method was used to extract, separate and quantify 12 compounds: acetone, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isovaleric acid, valeric acid, caproic acid and lactic acid. All analytical curves were validated using analysis of variance (ANOVA). In addition, some figures of merit were calculated, such as limit of detection, interval of quantification, accuracy and precision. The matrix effect and stability of the samples were also performed. Some samples from the H2 production bioreactors were analyzed using the proposed method. The method developed proved accurate, precise and has a wide range of application.
