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

  • 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.
