processing unit
6. Bio Film Technology
• Biodegradation of pollutants occurs
via teamwork of microorganisms
united
in sludge flocs
• Important result of research :
• Some important, non-flocculating
organisms will be washed out from
bioreactor, resulting reduced plant
efficiency
• Solution: Biofilm technology
• via immobilisation, cell growth on
• solid surfaces, “carriers“ made of
• plastics, sand, glass, etc.
• Target: Synthesis of biocarrier
7. Our REQUESTS on OPTIMAL CARRIER
• PROPERTY EFFECT
• 1. Adsorbing capacity - binding toxic pollutants
- fast colonization + bio film
- fast start up at high level
• 2. Porosity, high inner surface - protection of the biofilm
• (high biomass content) - high space-time-yields
• 3. Fast wetting - homogenous fluidisation
• 4. Water binding - mass transport, bioactivity
• 5. Proper fluidisation - lower energy consumption
8. Our Technology
• LEVAPOR Bio Carrier
• First synthesized Bio Carrier
• Porous, Flexible, Durable PU foam
impregnated with surface active pigments like
activated carbon
• Due to variability of foam and pigment type
and their ratios, tailor made carriers can be
produced with varying properties
10. Properties
High Adsorbing Surface
• 10 to 12 kg of activated
carbon per m3 of foam
matrix
• PU foam surface area 2500
m2/m3
• 1000-2000 m2/g surface
area of activated carbon
• Extremely high adsorbing
surface
Benefits:
• Reversible Adsorption
• Rapid microbial colonization
and biofilm formation
• Temporary adsorption of
toxic and inhibitory
substances
• Subsequent biodegradation
and thus regeneration of
surface
11. Advantages
• Treatment of effluents containing toxic substances
• Short process start up and higher performance compared to
suspended mass based systems (100 to 300%)
• Higher process stability against toxic shock loads and
fluctuations in reactor conditions
• Lower Degree of Filling (12 to 15%)
• Smaller foot print
• Lower energy consumption for fluidization
• Lower sludge production
• Simpler process control
12. Applications
• Up gradation/expansion of existing plants
• Anaerobic-Aerobic treatment of high strength , slowly
bio degradable pollutants
• Nitrification- de nitrification of effluents containing high
ammonia concentrations
• Biological Treatment of Polluted air/gas (BTF)
• Biofilm reactor MBBR/IFAS for the treatment of
industrial and municipal wastewater
• Treatment of hyper saline effluents containing solvents
• Treatment of land fill leachate and groundwater
containing PAHs.
13. Agro Chemicals, Middle East
• Pesticides Manufacturing Agrochemicals industries
• A Wide variety of agro chemicals manufactured at site due
to hectic crop cycle
• Effluents Containing :
• Biologically active biocides and often inhibiting raw
chemicals , active ingredients and their by products
• Solvents like methanol, aromates, dicholoromethane,
methyl-isobutyl-ketone(MIBK) from the formulations
• Higher Salinity
14. A typical Effluent Characteristics
• Up to 12,000 mg/lit COD comprising solvents in it
• Up to 600 mg/lit inhibitory , active ingredients and their by
products
• 500 to 800 mg/lit Total Kjehldahl Nitrogen (TKN) containing
mostly Organic-N associated with slowly hydrolysable s-
triazine.
• Up to 1500 mg/lit Sulfates (SO4-)
• 10,000 to 25,000 mg/lit Salt Concentration as NaCl
15. The Problem
• Adversely affect the environment
• Presence of high amount of biodegradable solvents make wet
oxidation processes costly and thus biological degradation
would be cost effective alternative
• Higher concentrations of inhibitory substances lower the COD
removal efficiency of suspended growth only reactors
• COD removal also affected due to high fluctuations of load
• Severe nitrification inhibition due to fluctuating COD removal
efficiency
• Aerobic only treatment increases aeration costs and also
handling of high amount of toxic sludge
16. The solution
• MicroAerobic-Anaerobic-Aerobic
• Provides most diverse microbial consortia responsible for
the biodegradation of complex molecular structures.
• During Anaerobic Step the complex molecules are
hydrolysed
• Much of the COD removed , thus reduce aeration demand
• Lower sludge production and thus solids handling costs.
• Presence of inhibitory substances, pH changes, salinity
fluctuations cause deflocculation and wash out of microbes
• Thus, immobilization of microbes on carriers
17. Pilot Testing
• Proposed Micro Aerobic-Anaerobic-Aerobic
Scheme with denitrification
• Tested for two years at site
•
