Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ultrasound (US) assisted thermophilic aerobic membrane distillation bioreactor (sono-MDBR) system and method developed for the treatment of hospital wastewater.
  • US ultrasound
  • sono-MDBR thermophilic aerobic membrane distillation bioreactor
  • Water recovery is very important in terms of both clean water scarcity and environmental pollution. Salts, nutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphorus), pathogens and micropollutants (MP) must be removed from the wastewater for a reliable water recycling.
  • micropollutants are the main source of the problem, as conventional wastewater treatment plants are not specifically designed to treat these pollutants. Micropollutants may be present in wastewaters at concentrations of pg/L or lower. If they are not adequately removed, most micropollutants can cause negative effects on human health and the ecosystem, such as the formation of resistant bacteria. Therefore, these pollutants threaten the receiving environment where they are discharged as well as the reuse of wastewater.
  • micropollutant consist of pollutants such as surfactants, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, endocrine disruptors, unregistered drugs, gasoline additives, etc.
  • pollutants such as surfactants, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, endocrine disruptors, unregistered drugs, gasoline additives, etc.
  • the consumption of pharmaceuticals in these pollutants is increasing year by year. Only a certain part of these drugs is metabolized after use. The nonmetabolized part is usually excreted from the body through the urine.
  • Hospital wastewater one of the most important sources of these pollutants, includes recalcitrant and toxic micropollutants resulting from metabolite products of drugs, chemicals, heavy metals, disinfectants and sterilizers, specific detergents of endoscopic and other devices, radioactive tracers and iodinated contrast media (ICM).
  • ICM iodinated contrast media
  • Disinfectants are used for disinfection of floors, device and skin disinfection and food preparation in hospitals. Chlorines containing recalcitrant such as alcohol, aldehyde and even chlorophenol are used as disinfectants.
  • Chlorines containing recalcitrant such as alcohol, aldehyde and even chlorophenol are used as disinfectants.
  • microbial pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, and helminths.
  • micropollutant removal with advanced oxidation processes such as fenton, UV, ozone. These processes are generally applied to the biological treatment outlet in hospital wastewater treatment, but when applied on their own, the full mineralization efficiency is fairly low. Intermediate products formed in partial degradation may be more toxic than the parent compound or have the same properties as the parent compound.
  • Integrated advanced oxidation processes such as Ch/Fenton, O3/H2O2, O3/UV, Ch/Photo- Fenton can be used for the complete mineralization of micropollutants, but high operating and initial investment costs arise due to these methods.
  • MBR Membrane bioreactors
  • MF microfiltration
  • UF ultrafiltration
  • MBRs membrane bioreactors
  • MF microfiltration
  • UF ultrafiltration
  • MBRs are generally operated at high biomass concentrations (10-20 g/L) and high sludge ages (10-30 days), and consequently produce better quality effluent and less waste sludge compared to the conventional activated sludge system.
  • MBRs for the same treatment capacity require less space and volume than the conventional active sludge system.
  • the hydraulic residence time (HRT) may be shorter especially in MBRs operated at high MLSS (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids) concentrations. Therefore, advanced treatment methods such as reverse osmosis (TO), nanofiltration (NF), UV oxidation or ozonation are generally recommended for the removal of micropollutants in MBR effluent. Even though quality water can be obtained with these multiple treatment systems, it overshadows the advantage to be obtained by re-using wastewater due to the high investment and operating costs and the need for more construction areas.
  • TO reverse osmosis
  • NF nanofiltration
  • UV oxidation or ozonation UV oxidation or ozonation
  • HR-MBR high retention capacity MBR
  • NF-MBR MMR using NF membrane instead of MF/UF membrane
  • OMBR MR using advanced osmosis membrane instead of MF/UF membrane
  • MDBR MDBR using distillation membrane instead of MF membrane
  • Thermophilic wastewater treatment is the treatment of wastewater consisting of different sources by increasing the temperature above 45°C and to a maximum of 70°C.
  • Thermophilic aerobic wastewater treatment has some advantages compared to conventional systems such as more degeneration rate, inactivation of pathogens, low sludge production and process stability. Thus, the main cost will decrease as the retention time required for treatment will be reduced. Meanwhile, thermophilic treatment is stable in case of deterioration of conditions. Another advantage of thermophilic bacteria is that they destroy the microorganisms causing the disease at temperatures of 55°C and above. Some pollutants, which are slow biodegradable, can also be broken down more rapidly with thermophilic treatment. The rate of degeneration of micropollutants, which are examples of these pollutants, increases with thermophilic treatment.
  • Thermophilic systems in particular, can be applied for wastewaters with high pollution load and low flow rate, wastewaters with high salinity or containing hazardous compounds.
  • Thermophilic treatment of high strength and/or high temperature wastewaters such as domestic paper, chicken slaughterhouse, beer, synthetic, fruit industry has been investigated, and studies have shown that it is effective even in the treatment of high strength landfill wastewaters.
  • This technology has started to be widely used for the treatment of various types of wastewater in recent years.
  • the permeate quality in MDBR is of TO permeate quality and is independent of biological activity. Since the continuity of the permeate quality can be ensured even in case of low bioactivity in the reactor, it is resistant to shock loading and operating problems.
  • the permeate quality obtained in a single system with MDBR is the same as the conventional activated sludge system + MF + TO or the effluent quality obtained by multiple systems such as MBR + TO.
  • the time required for commissioning is much shorter than the classical MBR since the quality of the permeate in MDBR is not dependent on the bioactivity in the reactor.
  • the pollutants, which are slow biodegradable and recalcitrant, stay in the bioreactor for a longer period of time, thereby it is possible to break them down.
  • MDBR is a system operated under atmospheric conditions, its dependence on electrical energy is less than pressure systems. The need for thermal heat can be provided from waste heat or solar energy.
  • Non-volatile compounds are completely retained, while volatile compounds can pass through the membrane in the membrane distillation (MD) process.
  • MDBR membrane distillation
  • biological degradation can contribute to the removal of volatile compounds in wastewater.
  • Table 1 The main differences between MDBR and conventional MF/UF-MBRs are summarized in Table 1.
  • An important point to note is that non-volatile compounds such as salt are kept in the process and accumulated until they are disposed of with waste sludge.
  • US ultrasound
  • US increases fluid mixture and mass transport.
  • enzymes accelerate the transport of nutrients to their active points and the removal of microbial waste products from these active points.
  • Short-term application periods damage the cell at a level that it can tolerate and increase the membrane permeability of the cell.
  • US is applied continuously, cell destruction increases and bioactivity decreases.
  • the increase in bioactivity with short-term application periods is due to the activation of defense mechanisms because microorganisms are exposed to US. Therefore, since different microorganisms will have different defense mechanisms, they will react differently to the US application of the same frequency and power.
  • the China patent document CN103304109A which is the state of the art, mentions the treatment of hospital wastewater by using biological treatment and membrane.
  • the submerged UF membrane was preferred to make a solid liquid separation and no application was included to increase bioactivity in this patent.
  • Japan patent document JP5097024B2 which is the state of the art, which aims to create bubbles of different sizes and to treat with nanobubbles in particular. US was also used to produce the nanobubble, which is the main purpose of the study. However, there is no purpose that increases bioactivity in any biological treatment even though the objective of the study is not the treatment of hospital wastewater.
  • the object of the present invention is to realize the Sono-MDBR system and method developed for the treatment of hospital wastewater.
  • Another object of this invention is to realize the Sono-MDBR system and method, which performs well for industries producing recalcitrant and toxic wastewater, such as hospital wastewater, and where the effluent can be used directly (without additional treatment).
