Definitions
- the invention relates to an integrated closed loop system, or a partially closed loop system, for water purification, comprising a sequenced bioreactor system for the biological processing of nitrogen and phosphorous containing waste water from a production process.
- This invention focuses on removal of BOD (biological oxygen demand), nitrogen and phosphorous by biological means.
- Numerous biological treatment processes have been developed which typically use single or double reactors comprising autotrophic (ammonia and nitrite oxidation) and heterotrophic (aerobic organic oxidation and anoxic denitrification) processes. They are often of a single activated sludge type or fixed bed type, using organic matter in the influent for the removal of nitrogen or/and phosphate (e.g. WO 96/04784, US 3871999).
- activated sludge is cost efficient in large urban waste water treatment plants.
- activated sludge is difficult to control (as in high intensive aquaculture systems with high rates of recirculation and water flow), due to a necessary aggregation into floes with a subsequent floatation or sedimentation, which are all difficult to control. It puts requirements on large sedimentation or flotation tanks, which in turn lowers the cost efficiency (US 3849303, US 5611927).
- Fixed bed reactors for purification as well as any reactor where most of the active biomass is attached as a biological film on an immobilized media are subject to problems with clogging and requirement of back flushing of the filter media (US 5081954). Such back flushing removes the biofilm or parts of the biofilm, creating a lag phase for the regeneration of full capacity of the filter. Furthermore, the uniform distribution of nutrients, oxygen, and carbon through the filter is very difficult to control in fixed bed reactors, where a uniform distribution is actually a prerequisite for an effective process.
- Fluidised sand bed reactors or sand or fluidised bead filters are used to a large extent in the US (e.g. US 5792386). They claim high removal rates of BOD and nitrogen. However, the energy input in these systems is relatively high since they are driven by high-pressure pumps, whereby cost efficiency is lost compared to low head systems, although high pressure systems require small footprint area relative to the internal specific filtration area.
- the organic matter to be removed is used for the denitrification process as well.
- hydraulic limitations of each subprocess in the loop limit the recycle and therefore limit the maximum nitrogen removal.
- WO 97/49279 discloses one example where the denitrification is placed in a recycle after the nitrification, and hence there will be no or only limited denitrification if an externally added carbon source is not added. Further, the hydraulic load on the entire treatment process will be unnecessarily high.
- nitrification rates are always sub optimal.
- Low ammonia concentrations around 1-2 mg / I, where the need for oxygen is low, thus lead to the concomitant reduction of the nitrification rate to 25-50% of its maximum capacity with a corresponding decrease in growth.
- the growth of heterotrophs by far outcompete the autotrophic nitrifying bacteria. In the present invention this problem is over come by placing the nitrification in a by-pass mode outside the main water stream, to create a highly specialized environment for the nitrifying bacteria.
- High flow rates of water through nitrification reactor usually mean incomplete nitrification.
- nitrite oxidizing bacteria Due to low residence time the nitrite oxidizing bacteria will not be able to oxidize all nitrite into nitrate. This is especially true in systems where high flow rates of water are applied and ammonia levels exceeding 4 mg / I As a result toxic nitrite is accumulated in the system.
- Organisms with the nitrifying bacteria in the same reactor. It is well known that any aerobic ammonia containing sludge will develop nitrification in temperatures and pH applicable to phosphorus removal. Thus, nitrification bacteria will compete with the PAO in this type of reactor. Further, the nitrification produces nitrate that is known to inhibit the PAO process and, thus, this system is inherently sub-optimal.
- Another phosphorous removal concept makes use of cyclical discharge of activated sludge or mixed liquor to three different basins to obtain anaerobic and aerobic PAO conditions.
- the process of US patent 4 948 510 does distinguish between anaerobic and aerobic conditions.
- the competition between nitrifying bacteria and PAO accumulation in the aerobic tank is admitted, as well as the competition between heterotrophic carbon use and PAO carbon uptake, which are simultaneously applied.
- this invention applies a rather complicated 6 (six) cycle system in three different basins. The three limitations with this system are:
- the sludge is always more difficult to control than biofilm processes on suspended carriers, especially in combination with aerobic anaerobic processes.
- the sludge is containing all the microorganisms, nitrifiers, denitrifiers, aerobic heterotrophs and PAOs at the same time, exposing them to cyclic changes and differential metabolic lag phases in the six purification cycles.
- microorganisms are forced to compete for the same space, and at times, same organic material.
- one invention defines the cultivation of water living animals with photosynthesising water living plants (WO 83/03333).
- the water living plants are living "on land” and are moisturised by water film according to the specification.
- the disclosure points out that the water is purified by consuming the nitrogen and phosphorous therein. It is known from such trials, for instance in applying plants for water purification in aquaculture, that a plant water purification area of at least 70% of the total production plant area is needed.
- a plant water purification area of at least 70% of the total production plant area is needed.
- the cultured plants are the main production objective and the other industrial production units are regarded as by-products (e.g. fish).
- High rate closed loop industrial systems or systems for food processing, agro- or aquaculture production, with internal processing of BOD, nitrogen and phosphorous need to be cost efficient, reliable for control, and easy to operate, with high turn over rates for waste in the industrial water treatment. This is not easily obtained with activated sludge or high-pressure systems (US 4948510).
- high-pressure systems excerpt an exceeding bioerosion compared to low-pressure systems.
- high-pressure systems also require above average capital investments.
- the present invention is the starting point for an era of low energy, continuous reactor and bioreactor system with large filter area and high cost efficiency. It is a system for the biological purification of BOD, nitrogen and phosphorous for closed loop industrial systems.
- the innovation provides an integrated and complete processing system for industrial and agricultural waste water; reducing the concentration of BOD or organic materials; reducing the concentration of inorganic and organic nitrogen; and reducing the concentration of organic and inorganic phosphorous compounds by biological processes.
- the system is founded on a sequence of bioreactors in a continuous flow mode, with variations on the phosphorous elimination process and optional by-pass systems for nitrogen-, phosphorous- and BOD removal.
- the continuous mainstream design in the closed loop represents a water system with the possibility for complete or near complete purification of water from the industrial production through filters and bioreactors before water exchange is made with the surrounding environment.
- the array of sequenced bioreactors provides constant or nearly constant environments in the bioreactors, also producing highly controllable conditions for the microorganisms and thus for industrial optimisation.
- the invention is characterized by an integrated, partially or wholly closed loop system for waste water treatment, where the water contains nitrogen containing compounds and/or substances, comprising at least one production unit of such nitrogen containing compounds and/or substances and using continuous bioreactor technology for the biological treatment and removal of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorous from the said water at continuous flow, comprising: a) at least one suspended carrier bioreactor for bacterial growth under anoxic conditions to cause anaerobic denitrification, with one or several compartments, preceding b) at least one suspended carrier bioreactor for bacterial growth under oxic conditions to cause aerobic nitrification, c) the denitrification taking place after the production unit, and d) the nitrification taking place prior to the production unit in a by-pass mode as part of the continuous flow.

Excess salts are excreted from the species in aquaculture such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chlorides and sulphates, etc may be released to the environment after sterilisation. The water body is renewed by an external water source or desalinated after the last steps of purification in the system. If cultivation is made in any forms, higher organisms such as parasites and cultured species are not released in the process of water exchange.
- the removal efficiency may be kept low or high in the industrial system due to the fact that internal high levels of phosphate pose no direct health risk to the species in aquaculture but may pose a hazard in some industrial processes.
- special treatment may have to be made before expelling the water into an external recipient. Nitrogen free, but phosphate rich water may if necessary have to be recirculated through the phosphate reducing reactor several times for complete or nearly complete phosphate removal by means of a by-pass system.
- chemical means may be applied to precipitate the phosphate with salts with third valence metal ions, i.e. FeCI or AI 2 (S04)3, and the phosphate salt finally eliminated from the system in any form of a sedimentation chamber.
- Phosphate removal from the water to be purified is enhanced by PAO by first internally accumulating organic materials under anaerobic conditions, the organic materials being particularly efficient for metabolization if they are any 1-6 carbon compounds in the form of alcohol, ketone, aldehyde, carboxylic acid forms or generally defined as VOC's (volatile organic compounds, short and biologically easily accessible carbon compounds).
- phosphate is accumulated to high levels as inorganic phosphate (Pi) and stored in the form of polyphosphate by use of the internally stored carbon incorporated from the preceding anaerobic phase.

- the phosphate is ultimately removed as phosphate rich sludge from the activated sludge sedimentation chamber, or by a washing procedure from which the greater part of the activated sludge or biofilm is recycled back or submitted to the anaerobic compartment for the next purification round in a phosphate accumulation (PAO) process.
- PEO phosphate accumulation

- the bioreactor units make use of suspended carriers on which the biofilm grows (e.g. using carrier modules like e.g. Biolox, Leca, Bee-cell, Kaldnaes, Diat, Etapak, Impodan or Inter Aqua).
- carrier modules like e.g. Biolox, Leca, Bee-cell, Kaldnaes, Diat, Etapak, Impodan or Inter Aqua.
- These carriers can also be of a particular design made up of some natural and/or synthetic material (e.g.
- the moving bed suspended carrier biological reactor system makes possible the uniform distribution of nutrients, oxygen, carbon and redox (reduction-oxidation) couples by means of the water flow and/or stirring of the water by different means such as rotators, propellers or airlifts.
- the system requires no chemical processing.
- phosphorous precipitation may be used as an additional method for polishing water quality, in any of the water purification stages.
- the surface area for the microorganisms to grow on, the amount and balance between carbon, the availability and quality of carbon sources, including fermented and inorganic carbon (C0 2 ), mineral nutrients (i.e. N, P, K and others), oxygen levels, are regulated for the optimum efficiency of the processes. These mentioned levels are a function of the industrial or agricultural production requirements or fish, shellfish and crustacean species, feed type and water flow that in combination produces the specific array of waste water constituents and concentrations.
- the specific surface area of the suspended carriers is tailor-made and thus adjusted to fit the biofilm thickness in every single compartment in the bioreactors according to specific bacterial growth conditions as specific growth rate and Michaelis-Menten kinetics of the limiting substrate.

- Carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) is released from the respiration of the organisms in the system and biogas production (which does not add to atmospheric C0 2 increase).

- the system provides endogenous carbon from the waste water for denitrification and phosphate removal as well as for energy production.

- sequenced bioreactor system makes use of denitrification before the BOD oxidation and nitrification processes, and that an increase of biological purification efficiency in many cases can be further increased by a multiple loop system. This makes possible:

- FIG. 2 represents a schematic view of a bioreactor sequence in detail.
- FIG. 3 represents a schematic view of one embodiment of a bioreactor sequence of the invention.
- the bioreactors are designated a, b, c, and so forth, for each successive compartment in the same biological reactor process.
- This compartmentalisation is an arrangement that is tailor-made according to the above-mentioned amount and balance of nutrients and carbon produced by the specific type of agro-/ industrial system in mind.
- the compartmentalisation of any one specific bioreactor in the system may be made within one or by arrangement of several successive separate tanks.
- the basic aspect of the invention is the use of internally produced organic material or BOD from the production unit for the denitrification and phosphorous accumulation in a bioreactor system, preferably comprising a suspended carrier system and or activated sludge reactors, respectively.
- This basic aspect leads to the reduction of organic materials, which lead to the increased efficiency of nitrification.
- the process involves the following basic and successive purification steps:
- FIG. 2 shows one embodiment of the invention.

- FIG 1 a basic embodiment of the invention is outlined.
- the waste water flow from the production unit 10.
- the first net purification process starts with reactor 1, which is an oxygen consumption reactor in loop 1, reducing oxygen concentration levels to a minimum.
- the water then reaches a denitrification reactor 2 to produce gaseous nitrogen (N 2 ) from any nitrite and nitrate in the water.
- denitrification water is divided in a by-pass to form loop 2, where BOD oxidation takes place in reactor 4 before nitrification in bioreactor 5.
- loop 2 separates the nitrification reactor from the rest of the water system and represents a highly specialized water environment with low organic levels favouring autotrophic growth; largely differing from the effluent waste water produced from the production vessels 10, the denitrification vessel 2 and thus positioning nitrification as far away as possible from the mainstream water flow.
- phosphorous when obtained in a concentration suitable for phosphorous removal, is removed in a bioreactor 7, before water is redirected back to the production unit 10.
- a loop RN is a recirculation loop for nitrogen (N) purification and water exchange preparation, running through by-pass system 12a, before water to the water exchange tank 12 is discarded from the system. Water refill to the system is made by valve 12b.
- the loop RP represents a recirculation loop for repeated phosphorous treatments in reactor 7.
- the waste water flow from the production unit 10 first passes one or more reactors 3, wherein particulate material is removed and/or foaming devices and/or skimmers are applied, for removal of foam or surface related compounds, before it enters a reactor 1, which may be divided into more compartments or consist of more reactors la-lc, etc.
- a reactor 1 Prior to reactor 1 a by-pass separates a loop O from loop 1.
- loop O no processing of nitrogen or phosphorous is made, hence the designation of "loop 0", and water is recirculated back to the production unit 10 with minor water quality adjustments made to fit basic requirements for the production unit, such as BOD oxidation in reactors 4, which may be executed in different positions in loop 0.
- the first net purification process starts with reactor 1 in loop 1, which is an oxygen consumption reactor, reducing oxygen concentration levels to a minimum.
- the water then reaches a denitrification reactor 2, 2a-c, etc, to produce gaseous nitrogen (N 2 ) from any nitrite and nitrate in the water.
- Further particulate separation ensues in reactor 3, before it reaches a BOD oxidation reactor 4, 4a-4c, etc, in loop 1 whereby reactors 1, 2, 3 and 4 together with a reactor 11 form loop 1.
- Reactor 11 may be positioned in several positions and represents a gas-stripping reactor, primarily eliminating C0 2 , in the water that is directed back to the production unit 10.
- a by-pass separates water in loop 1 from a third loop: loop 2, which contains the nitrification reactor 5, where nitrification takes place (i.e. wherein ammonia and nitrite are oxidised to nitrate), and a BOD eliminating reactor 4 prior to the nitrification reactor 5.
- loop 2 separates the nitrification reactor from the rest of the water system and represents a highly specialized water environment.
- phosphorous when obtained in a concentration suitable for phosphorous removal, is removed in a bioreactor 7a, before water is recirculated to the production unit 10.
- nitrification 5 and denitrification 6 b precede the biological phosphorous removal reactor containing the PAO.
- a loop RN is a recirculation loop for nitrogen (N) purification and water exchange preparation, running through by-pass system 12a, before water to the water exchange tank 12 is discarded.
- a loop RP represents a recirculation loop for repeated phosphorous treatments in reactor 7.
- particle removal devices in the form of screen, swirl separator, sand filter, drum filter, sedimentation tank or any device for particulate removal 3, including bead filters, fluidised sand filters, including foaming and foam separating devices and skimmers, for removal of foam or surface related compounds, as fats-, carbohydrate- and protein-like substances, separate organic material from the water.
- Particle removal devices 3 may also be placed directly in the culture tanks in the form of a sediment trap, lamella or screen type separator.
- the particulate separation in this purification step ranges between approximately 10 to ⁇ 100% of suspended solids, depending on the type of separation process, energy input and screen mesh.
- Screen mesh range is in the area around 10-500 ⁇ m, typically between 20-140 ⁇ m, particularly 60 ⁇ m ( ⁇ 20 ⁇ m).
- Lamella separators, if used, are applied at the sedimentation velocity range of 0,1 - 5 m/h and with an inclination of the lamellas in the range of 10 - 80°, particularly 45° ( ⁇ 15°).
- Size of sand particles in the sand filter range from 100 - 0,1 mm, particularly 1-10 mm, and may be of any naturally occurring mineral composition, sand or gravel, including alkaline sediments, and may act as a buffering component for the water system.
- particle separation devices 3 may be placed in several places in loop 0, 1 and 2.
- An example of the placements of particle removing devices 3b and 3c is that water flow in these positions is reduced compared to the prior position of device 3a.
- a particularly advantageous position 3c is accomplished since this position removes excess particles before "burning off" of BOD in reactor 4, leading to sufficient reduction in BOD levels in loop 2, where nitrification ensues, the latter demanding low BOD levels for high efficiency.
- One possible position for the reactor is in position 3d, which may be executed if e.g. the BOD oxidation reactor 4 in loop 1 is substituted with BOD oxidation reactor 4 in loop 0.
- the separated particulate organic material from devices 3 is stored and fermented in a fermentation reactor 9, or in part or directly transported into a denitrification reactor 2 via the dot-dashed route (not all connections are drawn) and/or an oxygen consumption reactor 1.
- the fermenting reactor has organic or sediment turn over rates of 5-30 days, typically 10-25 days, particularly 15 days ( ⁇ 3 days) of organic sludge age.
- the pH levels are to be run between 5 and 8.
- Synthetic or otherwise enriched or biologically produced obtainable organic material may be added as a biological energy source via the fermentation reactor 9 or directly into any reactor via the dotted or dot-dashed route and may be of any carbon compound earlier described, particularly to the oxygen consumption reactor 1 or 6a, and denitrification reactor 2 or 6b.
- an oxygen consumption reactor 1 oxygen in the incoming water from the culture tanks 10, via the particle separation units 3, is removed either by degassing with nitrogen, or another inert gas, or by addition of a carbon source with concomitant microbial oxygen consumption.
- the reduction of oxygen to lower threshold levels for the production of microbial anaerobic/anoxic conditions is especially necessary for the induction of denitrification, but also for phosphorous removal in a later step 7a, b or c.
- Reactor 1 may make use of especially fast respiring micro organisms (e.g. Azoto- bacter or other metabolically or genetically related species in multiple organism communities involving both fungi and bacteria).
- General rates of oxygen consumption range between 1-50 mg 0 2 /m 2 h, depending oxygen saturation levels, the quality of the organic material and biofilm thickness. Common oxygen consumption rates may lie in the range of 1 - 10, or even as narrow as 2-7 mg 0 2 /m 2 h.
- Nitrogenous gases may be diverted directly from the anoxic bioreactor 2 to the reactor 1 for oxygen degassing of incoming water to reactors 1 and 2.
- denitrification removes nitrate and nitrite from the water body in an anoxic bioreactor 2, by its final biological reduction to inert molecular N 2 -nitrogen that is released to the atmosphere.
- control of the C/N ratio in the incoming water to the bioreactor so as to provide it with enough carbon for the present nitrate to be reduced.
- the approximate range of carbon utilisation in this process lies in the range of 1-10 kg organic material (with these figures defined in the form of BOD or COD) per kg of reduced nitrate-nitrogen.
- the reduction of nitrate with methanol requires around 1.9 kg of methanol per kg of reduced nitrogen-nitrate.
- acetic acid for denitrification will require 2.67 kg of the substance per kg of nitrogen- nitrate reduced.
- Redefining methanol and acetic acid as BOD will require 2.87 and 2.85 kg of methanol and acetic acid respectively, calculated as BOD.
- these are examples of high-grade carbon substrates, not readily available in excessive amounts in aquaculture water, and more importantly, expensive.
- using low grade carbon resources as fermented sludge, molasses or silage liquor or the like may require higher levels of carbon source due to higher conversion ratios, and may reach far above the 3 kg BOD level, or even 5 kg and above, for the reduction of one kg of nitrogen-nitrate.
- Denitrification is an obligate anaerobic process and the threshold levels of oxygen for enzymatic activity lie in the area of 0,2 - 0,3 ⁇ g 0 2 /l. Such low levels are desirable, but not always imperative for denitrification systems in practice. This is due to the fact that the oxygen content in the water body may be significantly higher than in the biofilm. The biofilm may still provide for anoxic or anaerobic conditions at far higher bulk concentrations of oxygen. In practice, denitrification may occur at reasonably high rates at bulk water concentrations as high as 0.5 mg0 2 /l.
- the actual thickness of the biofilm in the denitrification reactor will be a significant determinant for the needed reduction of water oxygen concentrations in the water, to acquire desired levels of denitrification.
- the feeding of BOD to the preceding bioreactor 1 regulates these levels.
- General rates for denitrification range between 0.2 and 40 mg N/m 2 d, depending on the anaerobic completeness, the quality of the organic material and biofilm thickness. Common denitrification rates lie in the range of 0.5-5, particularly 1.5-3 mg N/m 2 d.
- particle separation devices 3 separate organic material from the water in device 3c, accordingly to the detailed description above.
- the organic material is re- directed to the fermentation reactor 9, or directly to the oxygen consumption reactor 1 or the denitrification reactor 2.
- the total organic content in the water is lowered before an ammonia and nitrite oxidation ensues in bioreactor 5 in loop 2.
- This particulate carbon elimination may be an optional stage, depending on the overall quality of the water for purification, i.e. the balance between macronutrients and organic material in general.
- This device may be placed after or preferably before (3c) a BOD oxidizing reactor 4, in the next step in positions 3c or 3d.
- the prime concern is the oxidation of dissolved organic material (BOD).
- BOD may be added to the foregoing bioreactors 1 and 2 but only in part consumed.
- BOD has to be oxidised before reaching the bioreactor for nitri- fication, for which purpose this BOD oxidising reactor 4 is installed. It is practically impossible to remove all available BOD.
- consumption of BOD has to be maximised in this part of the system before reaching the nitrification reactor.
- BOD consumption leads to the reduction of BOD levels in the water leading back from reactor 4 to the production unit 10 in the by-pass loop 1 and 0.
- the level of BOD concentration where nitrification becomes limited is very variable biodegradability, oxygen concentration and temperature.
- BOD becomes limiting for nitrification as BOD levels rise above between 10 and 94 mg/l.
- temperatures of 15-20°C nitrification can be limited by a BOD concentration as low as 5 mg BOD/I in oxygen saturated water.
- An average value for BOD concentration limitation for nitrification at 20°C lies around 20 mg BOD/I.
- VOC's small carbon compounds
- BOD consumption is effectively enhanced by bacteria with the high respiratory rates (e.g. Azotobacter or other metabolically or genetically related species) and multiple organism communities involving both fungi and bacteria, which then more readily compete for and consume the different fractions of carbon available as BOD in this step.
- Optimisation is made by addition of any source of oxygen in this part of the system.
- General rates of BOD oxidation range between 1-50 mg BOD/m 2 d, depending oxygen concentration in the bulk water , the quality of the organic material and biofilm thickness.
- Common oxygen consumption rates may lie in the range of 2-30, particularly 7-15 mg BOD/m 2 d.
- the fifth step which may be present in loop 1 or in loop 2, is the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and further to nitrate in reactor 5. Since nitrite is very toxic to aquatic organisms, the nitrification process has to convert essentially all compounds that are oxidised into nitrite, completely to nitrate. However, complete nitrification is rare, even in supersaturated conditions, due to competition with heterotrophic bacteria and BOD residues. Optimisation is made by addition of any source of oxygen in this part of the system and by control of the retention time in the reactor.
- Blowing in air can make up oxygen addition, or oxygen enriched air, liquid oxygen injection, or concentrated oxygen gas (molecular oxygen, 0 2 ), into the reactor to support the aerobic oxidation to nitrate.
- Oxygen and ammonium are generally the limiting substrates for nitrification, whereas BOD has an indirect inhibitory effect.
- supersatura- ting the water with oxygen may also lead to limitation of C0 2 for autotrophic growth. This may occur especially at low pH levels, when access to C0 2 is very poor, due poor carbonate buffering system holding very little carbon dioxide in the system.
- nitrification rates range between 1-100 mg N/m 2 h, depending oxygen saturation levels, ammonia concentrations, pH, BOD levels and biofilm thickness.
- biofilm thickness varies from 10 - 1000 ⁇ m, typically being 50 - 500 ⁇ m thick, specifically around 200 ⁇ m ( ⁇ 100 ⁇ m).
- Common nitrification rates in non-saturated environments with negative influence of BOD may lie in the range of 0.2-6, particularly 2-4 mg N/m 2 h. However, depending on the optimisation of nitrification levels the rates may increase by 10 to 20-fold in conditions with supersaturated 0 2 - and C0 2 -gas levels.
- Water from loop 1 and 0 typically contains high levels of carbon dioxide (C0 2 ) and may have to be stripped from gases produced in the previous reactors 1, 2, 3 and 4. This is done in a gas-stripping unit 11, which may be placed in loop 0 and/or loop 1.
- a BOD oxidising reactor 4 may have to be inserted in the mainstream water flow in loop 0.
- basin 21 may be an activated sludge basin for partial reduction of nutrients and the production of soil improver organic material, placed before or after the inlet of plant production unit 20, and before or after the particle separation unit 3a.
- the associated macrophytes in the plant production units may be of the genera of Elodea, Egeria, Cabomba, My ⁇ ophyllum, Ceratophyllum, Eleocharis, Potamogeton, Limnophila, or Vallisneria, Ludwigia, Nasturtium, Hydrocotyle, Oenanthe and genetically (genotypic) or functionally (phenotypic) related species.
- a large important group of water plants for such culture belong to the Bryophyta with taxonomic classes of Hepaticae and Musci, specifically of the genera Fontinalis, Vesicularia and Sphagnum. Among these species it has been shown that some species, e.g.
- Myriophyllum produce up to 50 g dry weight m 2 / day.
- its average biomass is usually in the range 500-700 g dry weight/m 2 .
- some of these species can attain a positive growth rate even at high densities, and a biomass corresponding to around 2000 g dry weight/m 2 .
- it can be grown well in a broad range of nitrogen concentrations, its biomass production staying approximately the same through the range 20-140 mg/l of nitrogen in water, which are relevant levels for aquaculture waste production of nitrogen.
- the sixth step is the by-pass arrangement and preparation step for biological phospho- rous accumulation and removal in reactor 7.
- This mode of operation has the advantage of making possible the continuous water exchange by releasing water from 7a, 7ca or 7cb to the subsequent aerobic BOD oxidation tank 4, to be finally expelled.
- the PAO process is negatively influenced by the presence of nitrate and in additional need of short volatile organic carbon chains (VOC's).
- VOC's volatile organic carbon chains
- the phosphate accumulation process in reactor 7 is negatively influenced by denitrification because denitrification removes carbon necessary for phosphate accumulating organisms, PAO's.
- the presence of nitrate also inhibits polyphosphate storage.
- nitrate should be consumed before phosphate accumulation and denitrifying microorganisms and PAO's should not compete about the same carbon source.
- PAO's should not compete about the same carbon source.
- high temperatures, above 10°C the presence of reduced nitrate compounds, as ammonium will develop a nitrifying activated sludge or biofilm.
- low levels both of nitrate and ammonium, together with high levels of VOC's should be present in the water to be treated by PAO's.
- one optional mode of operation is to install the phosphorous removal system after nitrification tank 5, as the PAO reactor 7a.
- Oxygen reducing reactor 6a is thus used after reactor 5 and before PAO reactor 7a, to produce anaerobic/anoxic conditions before transfer to reactor 6b for denitrification.
- the first PAO cycle starts with the addition of fermentation products (VOC's), preferable from the fermentation reactor 9, for carbon accumulation in PAO.
- VOC's fermentation products
- the second cycle for PAO's ensues when transfer is made to the aerobic PAO reactor 7b.
- the biological purification process is finalized by the accumulation of phosphorous in the PAO by internal storage of phosphorous under aerobic conditions.
- the water is then free of/or containing very low levels of, ammonium and nitrate and is prepared for the PAO reactor 7b.
- set-up costs may be doubled compared to set-up in reactor 7a, due to the need of additional arrangements for nitrogen removal, requiring approximately four reactors in contrast to two reactors in the previously mentioned reactor 7a.
- An optional and best mode of operation with the PAO system depending on tolerances for phosphorous by the species in aquaculture and constraints put on the system by the precipitation side effects of phosphorous, may be its set-up with a PAO reactor 7c.
- the PAO reactor will be arranged outside the recycle loop (loop RN), thus no phosphorous elimination is made in the standard recycling and purification of mainstream water in the aquaculture system.
- harmless phosphorous will accumulate in the aquaculture system.
- the PAO system is only reducing phosphorous as water exchange is made in the aquaculture system as a whole.
- the PAO reactor will receive its water via the water exchange tank 12, as water is moved out of the aquaculture system for exchange.
- Water exchange must be made at least once every 48 hours, otherwise the PAO population biofilm or sludge in any of the reactors 7a-c, will decline in numbers in competition with other microorganisms, the other organisms then competing for other substrates available when phosphorous is reduced to low concentrations. Thus, prolonged sub-concentrations of phosphorous in reactor 7c will lead to the decline of PAO sludge or biofilm.
- water exchange is made every 6 hours, typically every 3 - 12 hours, the water exchange commences at the latest 12 hours after feeding, typically 3-12 hours, preferably 1-6 hours after the arrest of waste production, or after the arrest of waste production after feeding in agri- aquaculture systems.
- the reactor purification system in loop 1 and 2 will have lowered concentrations of nitrate and ammonia to below average concentrations in loop 0, 1 and 2, making water ideal for PAO treatment and release to an external recipient.
- the loop RN the nitrogen recycle loop
- the refill valve 12b is opened to fill the system with fresh external water without mixing with the water being expelled.
- This loop provides the possibility for internal recycling of water containing too high levels of phosphorous to be released to the environment or aquaculture system.
- excess phosphorous is recycled back trough the PAO reactor for repeated treatments, for reduction to very low phosphorous levels, before release.
- set-up using reactor 7c as the PAO unit requires no additional "auxiliary" nitrification and denitrification reactors as in reactors 7a and 7b. Thus, this must be regarded as the most cost efficient and advanced solution for biological phosphorous elimination in aquaculture systems.
- reactor 4 lowers the BOD levels to very low levels, not higher than 10 mg / I, preferably 1 - 5 mg / I, typically lower than 1 mg BOD / I.
- Reactor 15 designates UV-treatment equipment for the sterilization of the water, which alternatively or together with ozone may be added to the process in reactor 15, which in some cases may alleviate the need for the previous BOD reactor 4, since ozone reduces BOD in treated water. Ozone also sterilizes the water.
- Next step represents the stage where the water has been purified from biologically active nutrients as nitrogen and phosphorous compounds, including BOD.
- Viruses, bacteria and parasites up to macro fauna and flora level have been destroyed by the sterilization treatment 15.
- an autoclave 16 is administered. This autoclave is filled batch-wise as water exchange is made. If an electrical failure should occur, potential pathogens will be contained in this autoclave.
- the autoclave can be filled, even during electrical failures, with UV-filter or ozone inactive, and finally, as electricity is again available, the autoclave is run at least at 100°C and a pressure of 1.01 kg/cm2, typically at 121°C and a pressure of l.l/cm2 kg for the complete sterilization of all organisms in that water. The water is now germ free.
- the water may be desalinised in reactor 17 for use as drinking water, expelled to the environment or, depending on climate, e g in arid areas, been flushed back into the aquaculture system for reuse.
- the steering system of the production system is made by the Integrated Process Control System (IPCS), monitoring and controlling the aquaculture production and filtration bioreactors.
- IPCS Integrated Process Control System
- Artificial intelligence software programs control the control loops in the steering system, using linear or dynamic programming models.
- the control system is design for direct operation via the Internet to control and monitor the production optimization and results, as well as modifying control parameters, according to specific culturing conditions.
- the accuracy of the culturing operations will improve as a number of culturing operations have taken place, as all data will be stored in data bank, which data are then considered at further operations, thereby improving growth, yield and feedstuff efficiency, as well as heat supplies, water losses and other parameters of interest.
- the simulated plant consists of 14 fish tanks, 6 m 3 each, together with a biological waste water treatment stage.
- the biological treatment stage consists of 3 anaerobic operating tanks each with a volume of 10 m 3 and four aerobically operating tanks, one of 7.5 m 3 and three of 10 m 3 .
- the biological treatment stage also consists of a particle trap in form of a sand filter.
