BACILLUS AND PSEUDOMONAS

-

 Bacillus is an excellent treatment of bacteria in wastewater but is best suited for treating fats, oils, greases, and proteins. That is why they are primarily used in wastewater treatment plants. The primary constituents of brewery, winery, and food processor waste are sugars and carbohydrates in very high concentrations. This makes their waste dramatically different than sewage treatment plants. The best bacteria for breaking down sugars and carbs are Pseudomonas. Pseudomonas will act very quickly on them and will reduce BOD levels far more rapidly. Bacillus only blends are effective for municipal or industrial waste streams with minimal oil and grease. For waste streams with oil and/or grease applications (non-synthetic), blends with pseudomonas are preferred. In addition, pseudomona putida has been shown to act as an aerobic denitrifier. Putida has the added benefit of converting nitrates to nitrites. 

A wastewater treatment and reclamation company ClearBlu successfully uses the technique of combining Bacillus and Pseudomonas in water treatment. The company uses vi patented Bacillus bacteria combined with two Pseudomonas species provide a diverse enzyme blend. This mixture produces cultures with enhanced capacity to digest high-strength organic waste including carbohydrates, sugars and proteins and also will degrade surfactants, hydrocarbons and chemicals.

This helps in in reducing BOD , lowering COD , reducing suspended solids, controlling odor, lower FOG, reducing sludge volume controlling hydrogen sulphide, reducing surfactants etc.

Treatment of wastewater sludge using anaerobic digestion

-

 Anaerobic digestion is widely considered as an environmentally friendly technology for various organic waste including sewage sludge. Although the implementation of anaerobic digestion as an alternative treatment method for sewage sludge can be seen in many countries, its status in Malaysia is not clear. This study reviewed the current state of sewage sludge treatment in Malaysia and discussed the challenges to promote anaerobic digestion in sewage sludge treatment. Other than the common constraints faced, namely technical, political and economic, the characteristics of sewage sludge in Malaysia are considered to be a factor regarding feasibility. Anaerobic co-digestion is the simultaneous anaerobic digestion of two or more substrates which is a promising possible option to overcome the disadvantages of mono-digestion, and improve the economic viability due to higher methane production. There are a variety of biomasses as co-substrates in Malaysia. However, the anaer...

Micro-algae and wastewater treatment

-
Image
  The conventional Primary and Secondary Wastewater Treatment processes are being used almost everywhere in order to remove settled materials and to oxidize the organic material present in wastewater. The final outcome is a clear, apparently clean effluent which is usually discharged into natural water bodies. This secondary effluent is, loaded with inorganic substances like Nitrogen and Phosphorus which causes eutrophication and long-term problems. Microalgae culture is an effective method for  wastewater treatment as it provides a  tertiary biotreatment along with the production of valuable biomass, which can be used for various purposes. Microalgae cultures is a better solution to tertiary and quandary treatments as microalgae can enhance their growth with the use of inorganic Nitrogen and Phosphorus. Also, they can help in the removal of toxic organic compounds and thus does not lead to secondary pollution. Microalgae have two major advantages over higher plant...

Use of Ozone for wastewater treatment

 INTRODUCTION:- Use of ozone for wastewater treatment:- The use of ozone to disinfect sewage is becoming increasingly important, especially when a high degree of treatment is required. Ozone is a strong disinfectant with a high oxidation potential and is one of the most effective ways of inactivating pathogens. In order to observe and evaluate the effect of this disinfectant on the physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of wastewaters, we analyzed the effluent input and output of an ozone disinfection plant located in Almeria, southeast Spain. The ozone input rate is adjusted according to the residual ozone content in the effluent output. The effluent is currently reused to irrigate vegetable crops. Another objective of this study has therefore been to verify the adequacy of this water treated process for preparing water for this purpose. Among the results obtained, it is important to highlight the fact that the ozone disinfection treatment was sufficie...
