Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for reducing or preventing bulking sludge and/or foaming in activated sludge plants for wastewater treatment.
- the invention furthermore relates to a composition and to the use of said composition in wastewater treatment.
- Sewage and industrial wastewaters can be treated in activated sludge plants.
- the process is usually as follows. Atmospheric air or pure oxygen is bubbled through primary treated sewage or industrial wastewater combined with microorganisms to develop a biological floe (the so-called Activated Sludge) which reduces the organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus content of the wastewater.
- Activated Sludge biological floe
- the combination of raw sewage or industrial wastewater and biological mass is commonly known as Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS).
- MLSS Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids
- the treated MLSS is passed into settling tanks (clarifiers) and the clarified effluent is run off and optionally undergoes further treatment.
- M. parvicella is not the only filamentous bacterium causing the described bulking problems. Proliferation of other filamentous bacteria also provokes bulking in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants. Recent studies have revealed that for instance the filamentous bacterium Eikelboom Type 0092 and other members of the phylum Chloroflexi have been associated with bulking incidences as well (see C. Kragelund et al. in FEMS Microbiol. Ecol. 59 (2007) pages 671 -682 and L. Speirs et al. in Appl. Environ. Microbiol. Apr. 2009, pages 2446-2452).
- any polyaluminium chloride added to control growth of M. parvicella leaves other filamentous bacteria more or less unaffected.
- bulking sludge is not effectively reduced or prevented by addition of polyaluminium chloride.
- the present invention relates to a process for reducing or preventing bulking sludge and/or foaming in an activated sludge plant for wastewater treatment, wherein an aluminium salt and at least one fatty amine or fatty amine derivative are used.
- a wastewater to be treated is contacted with micro-organisms.
- wastewater in this respect is meant to denote any aqueous stream that carries wastes from households, businesses, and industries and that is not suitable for reuse or is not allowed to be discharged unless treated by a wastewater facility.
- Air or oxygen is bubbled through so that a biological floe is formed, the activated sludge.
- This can be done in a tank, often denoted as aeration tank.
- a mixture of wastewater and activated sludge is generally denoted as MLSS.
- the MLSS is passed into one or more clarifiers. Part of the settled activated sludge, i.e. the R.A.S. , is reused by contacting it with wastewater still to be treated.
- the aluminium salt and the at least one fatty amine or fatty amine derivative according to the invention are preferably added to the return activated sludge, to mixed liquor suspended solids in the aeration tank, to wastewater to be treated (so prior to the contacting step with microorganisms), to a settling tank or any combination thereof.
- the aluminium salt and the at least one fatty amine or amine derivative are not added to waste activated sludge (i.e. excess sludge which eventually accumulates beyond what is returned and which is removed from the treatment process to keep the ratio of biomass to food supplied (sewage or wastewater) or the sludge retention time in balance).
- the process according to the present invention wherein an aluminium salt is used in combination with a fatty amine or fatty amine derivative leads to improved settability of the activated sludge, results in a few additional advantages.
- the activated sludge plant will have an improved performance due to an increased sludge retention time.
- wastewater that has been treated in an aeration tank is separated from the suspended solids (i.e. activated sludge) by the process of gravity sedimentation in clarifiers. Activated sludge floes settle toward the bottom of the clarifier in a quiescent environment.
- the settability of the activated sludge is improved by the addition of a combination of an aluminium salt and at least one fatty amine or fatty amine derivative, allowing maintenance of higher suspended solids concentrations in activated sludge treatment systems and thus generating less excess sludge production.
- Excess sludge of biological treatment plants is usually dewatered by filtration or centrifugation to suspended solids contents in excess of fifty percent by weight.
- the costs of this process are also determined by the dewaterability of the sludge.
- the dewaterability of sludge is reduced when settling of the sludge mass becomes difficult. Poor dewaterability in centrifuges and belt presses is therefore often associated with the settability of activated sludge. Improving the settability of activated sludge through the addition of aluminium salt with fatty amine therefore also improves handling of the excess sludge (reduces the cost of dewatering sludge).
- aluminium salt to be used in the process according to the present invention is preferably selected from the group consisting of aluminium chloride, aluminium sulphate, sodium aluminate, potassium aluminate, polyaluminium chloride and mixtures thereof.
- fatty amine as used throughout the description is meant to denote a primary amine, a secondary amine, or a tertiary amine with at least one fatty alkyl chain, with a fatty alkyl chain being a saturated or unsaturated carbon chain containing 8 to 24 carbon atoms, preferably containing 10 to 22 carbon atoms, and most preferably containing 12 to 20 carbon atoms.
- the fatty amine may comprise more than one amine moiety.
- Other substituents attached to the amine nitrogen can for example be an alkyl group such as methyl or ethyl.
- the compound is a fatty amine according to the present invention. It is also possible that other substituents than an alkyl group are attached to the amine group nitrogen (in addition to at least one fatty alkyl chain as defined above). In that case, the compound is denoted throughout the description as a fatty amine derivative.
- Said other substituent is selected from the group consisting of substituents comprising an aromatic group, such as a benzyl group; hydroxylated alkyl groups, such as a hydroxyethyl group; polyoxyethylene groups; aminoalkyl groups; and carboxylated alkyl groups such as a carboxymethyl group.
- a salt of a fatty amine is also denoted throughout the description as a fatty amine derivative. It is noted that neither the term fatty amine nor the term fatty amine derivative includes a quaternary ammonium compound (also generally known as quats, i.e. positively charged polyatomic ions of the structure NR 4 + , R being e.g. an alkyl group or an aryl group).
- Suitable fatty amines and fatty amine derivatives comprising one or more aminoalkyl groups that can be used in the process according to the present invention are (fatty alkyl)monoamines according to the formula R1 NH 2 , wherein R1 is an aliphatic group having 8-24, preferably 10-22 carbon atoms; (fatty alkyl) diamines according to the formula R2NHCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 , wherein R2 is an aliphatic group having 8-24, preferably 10-22 carbon atoms; and linear (fatty alkyl)triamines according to the formula R3NHCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NHCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 , wherein R3 is an aliphatic group having 6-24, preferably 8-22 carbon atoms.
- Suitable fatty amines are primary, secondary or tertiary fatty amines such as n- decyl amine, n-dodecyl amine, (coco alkyl)amine, n-tetradecyl amine, n- hexadecyl amine, n-octadecyl amine, oleyl amine, (tallow alkyl)amine, (rapeseed alkyl)amine, (soya alkyl)amine, erucyl amine, (coco alkyl)amine, N-(n-decyl)-trimethylene diamine, N-(n-dodecyl)-trimethylene diamine, N-(coco alkyl)-trimethylene diamine, N-(oleyl alkyl)-trimethylene diamine, N-(rapeseed alkyl)-trimethylene diamine, N-(soya alkyl)-trimethylene diamine
- Secondary dialkyl amines such as di-n-decylamine and bis(n-decyl)amine can also be used.
- An example of a secondary methylalkylamine is (coco alkyl)methylamine.
- tertiary trialkylamine is tri(coco alkyl)amine.
- An example of a tertiary dialkylmethylamine is di(coco alkyl)methylamine.
- An example of a tertiary alkyldimethylamine is (coco alkyl)dimethylamine.
- Suitable fatty amine derivatives are the above-mentioned secondary or tertiary fatty amines or diamines of which at least one alkyl substituent has been replaced by a substituent selected from the group consisting of substituents comprising an aromatic group, such as a benzyl group; hydroxylated alkyl groups, such as a hydroxyethyl group; polyoxyethylene groups; aminoalkyl groups; and carboxylated alkyl groups such as a carboxym ethyl group.
- a preferred example of a tertiary fatty amine derivative is tallowbis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine.
- the aluminium salt and the one or more fatty amines or fatty amine derivatives are preferably added to the return activated sludge before it is contacted with a new influent, to mixed liquor suspended solids in the aeration tank, to wastewater to be treated (so prior to the contacting step with micro-organisms), to a settling tank or any combination thereof.
- Addition to the return sludge is preferred, because then the aluminium salt and the one or more fatty amines or fatty amine derivatives are brought into contact with the activated sludge (suspended solids) in the highest concentration possible.
- the least preferred option is addition to the settling tank, since in that case a high percentage of the aluminium salt and fatty amine(s) or fatty amine derivative(s) will be lost.
- the amount of aluminium which is used is typically calculated on the basis of the phosphate concentration to be chemically removed by precipitation.
- the amount of aluminium salt used is such that the aluminium to phosphate molar ratio is between 0.1 to 20, more preferably 0.3 to 10, and most preferably 0.5 to 3.
- the total amount of fatty amine(s) and/or fatty amine derivative(s) is preferably such that the weight ratio of fatty amine(s) and/or fatty amine derivative(s) to the aluminium salt (i.e. the weight amount of fatty amine (derivative) divided by the weight amount of aluminium salt) is in the range of 1 to 200, more preferably in the range of 2 to 100.
- the aluminium salt and the one or more fatty amines, fatty amine derivatives or a combination thereof according to the present invention may be dosed at one or more of the above-mentioned stages of the process in any conventional manner.
- the aluminium salt may be added pure (but only if it becomes bio- available by dissolving in the wastewater treatment plant) or in an aqueous solution. It may be added in a continuous manner or intermittently.
- the fatty amine(s) and/or fatty amine derivative(s) can be added in a pure form, as an emulsion, as a suspension or as solution in an organic solvent. Said organic solvent can obviously consist of a mixture of organic solvents.
- the fatty amine(s) or fatty amine derivative(s) are water-soluble, they can also be added in an aqueous solution. It is also possible to add the fatty amine(s) or fatty amine derivative(s) in the form of an aqueous micellar system, by addition of non-ionic, cationic, amfoteric, or, although this is less preferred, anionic surfactants.
- the fatty amine(s) or fatty amine derivative(s) can be added in a continuous manner or intermittently, either together with the aluminium salt or separately. It is noted that it is possible to add the aluminium salt at a different stage of the process than the fatty amine(s) or fatty amine derivatives(s).
- the aluminium salt and the one or more fatty amines or fatty amine derivatives are pre-mixed to form a bulking sludge reducing composition before being dosed to the wastewater.
- the aluminium salt and the one or more fatty amines or fatty amine (derivatives) are added in the form of a macroscopically homogeneous mixture.

- the activated sludge and wastewater used in the Examples were collected from the wastewater treatment plant (VWVTP) Nieuwgraaf in Duiven, The Netherlands.
- the VWVTP Nieuwgraaf is an activated sludge plant treating predominantly domestic wastewater.
- the primary settled wastewater was collected weekly and stored at -20°C until required.
- the experiments were performed in lab-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBR) working volumes of 150 mL. These reactors were operated with a fill and react time of 8 hours, a react time of 14 to 15 hours, and a settle time of 1 to 2 hours, and a draw period (for the effluent) of a few minutes. More particularly, 150 mL of activated sludge containing approximately 3 g/L dry weight of suspended solids was used to inoculate the sequencing batch reactors. The activated sludge was allowed to settle during 1 to 2 hours. 100 mL of clarified effluent was drawn from the reactor.
- SBR lab-scale sequencing batch reactors
- Example 1 A combination of aluminium chloride (30% aqueous solution of AICI3 ex AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals) and cocoamine (Armeen® C ex AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry) was used to control bulking sludge (Example 1 ). The results were compared to the results of using only cocoamine as additive (Comparative Example A), using only AICI3 as additive (Comparative Example B), and a control test wherein no additive was used (Comparative Example C). The following procedure was followed.
- a pre-mix containing 51 .8 wt% of cocoamine and 25.9 wt% of ethanol (96%) and 22.3 wt% of acetic acid (70%), was prepared for use in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example A. All other chemicals used were of reagent grade quality.
- the deionized water used contained no more than 0.01 mg Cu/L. This water was prepared in a water purification system.
- the effect of daily dosages of the additive on filamentous bacteria was assessed by measuring the sludge volume index and through microscopic observations.
- the performance of the reactors was assessed by determining the removal of chemical oxygen demand from the wastewater.
- the additive being a combination of aluminium chloride and cocoamine (Example 1 ), cocoamine only (Comparative Example A), AICI3 only (Comparative Example B), and no additive (Comparative Example C) was tested in 150 ml_ Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR) at a temperature of 20 ⁇ 2 °C.
- SBR Sequencing Batch Reactors
- each SBR unit was filled with 150 ml_ of activated sludge (3 g/L dry weight) and the sludge was settled for 1 hour. Subsequently, the additive was added to the settled sludge (the sludge remaining in the respective reactors after withdrawal of the treated water).
- cocoamine pre-mix prepared as described above
- an aqueous AICI3 solution were added daily (i.e. one dose per 24 hours) at dosages of 0.9 mg/L and 2.6 mg/L, respectively, of cocoamine in the wastewater.
- One SBR unit was fed with only the aqueous AICI3 solution, one with only the cocoamine pre-mix (0.9 mg/L cocoamine in the wastewater) and one control SBR unit was not dosed with an additive.
- the AICI3 concentration in the wastewater was 32 mg/L, based on the chemical phosphate removal of 5 mg/L P0 4 -P from the influent.
- the dry weight (DW) of the activated sludge inoculum was determined by filtering 50 mL of the activated sludge over a preweighed 12 ⁇ Schleicher and Schull filter. This filter was dried for 2 hours at 104°C and weighed after cooling. DW was calculated by subtracting the weight of the filter and by dividing the difference by the filtered volume. During the test activated sludge samples of 5 mL were taken to determine the dry weight. The sludge volume index (SVI) were measured by assessing the volume in mL occupied by one gram of activated sludge after settling for 30 minutes in a 1 L calibrated cylinder. Alternatively, the settability of the sludge was measured directly in the SBRs.
- SVI sludge volume index
- the volume occupied by the sludge in the SBR was related to the SVI measured in 1 L calibrated cylinders. Volumes obtained in the SBR with activated sludge with various SVIs are given in Figures 1 and 2 (see Figure 1 : Sludge volumes in SBRs with a working volume of 150 mL after a sedimentation period of 45 minutes. The sludge concentrations in the SBR were 1 .0 ( ⁇ ), 2.0 ( ⁇ ), 3.0 ( ⁇ ), and 4.0 (o) g/L dry weight; and Figure 2: Volumes in SBRs with a working volume of 150 mL after a sedimentation period of 30 minutes.
- the sludge concentrations in the SBR were 2.0 ( ⁇ ), 3.0 ( ⁇ ), and 4.0 ( ⁇ ) g/L dry weight). When the sludge concentration is known, these Figures can be used to relate a volume determined during the settling period of the SBR to the SVI of the sludge. The pH of the supernatant liquors was determined with a Knick 765 calimatic pH meter (Elektronische Messgerate GmbH, Berlin, Germany).
- the effluents of the SBR units were filtered using Schleicher and Schull (cellulose nitrate) filters with pores of 8.0 ⁇ to remove sludge particles.
- the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the influent and effluent was determined by oxidation with an acid-dichromate mixture in which Cr 6+ was reduced to Cr 3+ using Hach Lange test kits (LCK 1 14 and 314).
- the reaction vials were sealed and placed in a heating block and the contents heated at a temperature of 148°C for two hours.
- the spectrophotometer (Xion 500) and heating block used were obtained from Hach Lange, Dusseldorf, Germany.
- the few filamentous microorganisms present in the sludge did not have a detectable negative effect on the settability.
- the Filamentous Index is a measure of the number of filamentous microorganisms in activated sludge. A scale of 0 to 5 is used (from none to very many filaments). It is noted that bulking sludge problems arise when SVI is 200 or higher and the Fl index is 3 or higher. Examples 2 - 4 and Comparative Examples D-H
- the Filamentous Index is a measure of the number of filamentous micro-organisms in activated sludge. A scale of 0 to 5 is used (from none to very many filaments). It is noted that bulking sludge problems arise when SVI is 200 or higher and the Fl index is 3 or higher. In conclusion, bulking sludge can be reduced by the addition of cocoamine in combination with AICI3, or of tallowamine in combination with either AICI3 or aluminiumhydroxy chloride. It can also be reduced by the addition of oleyl-1 ,3- diaminopropane and AICI3.
