CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1.1 introduction
1.1.1Environmental Engineering
Environmental Engineering is the application of scientific theories and principles to minimize the
impact of human activities on the environment.
Using the principles of biology and chemistry, environmental engineers develop solutions to
Environmental problems. They are involved in water and air pollution control, recycling, waste
disposal, and public health issues.
Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies in which they evaluate
the significance of the hazard, offer analysis on treatment and containment, and develop
regulations to prevent mishaps.
They design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems. They conduct
research on proposed environmental projects, analyze scientific data, and perform quality control
checks. They provide legal and financial consulting on matters related to the environment.
Environmental engineers are concerned with local and worldwide environmental issues. They
Study and attempt to minimize the effects of acid rain, global warming, automobile emissions,
And ozone depletion. They also are involved in the protection of wildlife.
Many environmental engineers work as consultants, helping their clients to comply with
Regulations and to clean up hazardous sites.

1.1.2INDUSTRIAL WASTES
With the coming of the Industrial Revolution, humans were able to advance further into the 21st
century. Technology developed rapidly, science became advanced and the manufacturing age
came into view. With all of these came one more effect, industrial pollution. Early industries
were small factories that produced smoke as the main pollutant. However, since the number of
8|Page

factories were limited and worked only a certain number of hours a day, the levels of pollution
did not grow significantly. But when these factories became full scale industries and
manufacturing units, the issue of industrial pollution started to take on more importance.

Any form of pollution that can trace its immediate source to industrial practices is known as
industrial pollution. Most of the pollution on the planet can be traced back to industries of some
kind. In fact, the issue of industrial pollution has taken on grave importance for agencies trying
to fight against environmental degradation. Nations facing sudden and rapid growth of such
industries are finding it to be a serious problem which has to be brought under control
immediately.
1.1.3 Bio diesel & its effluents
Biodiesel is a domestically produced, renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable
oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease for use in diesel vehicles. Biodiesel's physical
properties are similar to those of petroleum diesel, but it is a cleaner-burning alternative. Using
biodiesel in place of petroleum diesel, especially in older vehicles, can reduce emissions.
Most biodiesel manufacturing processes result in the generation of process wastewaters with free
fatty acids and glycerin (i.e. soapy water). Other constituents in the biodiesel manufacturing
process wastewater include organic residues such as esters, soaps, inorganic acids and salts,
traces of methanol, and residuals from process water softening and treatment.
Sources of wastewater include wash water which is used to remove any soaps formed during the
transesterification reaction; steam condensate; process water softening and treatment to eliminate
calcium and magnesium salts, iron, and copper; and wastewaters from the glycerin refining
process. The typical biodiesel manufacturing wastewater has high concentrations of conventional
pollutants, i.e. biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), oil and grease,
and will also contain a variety of non-conventional pollutants.

1.1.4 Fluidized bed bio reactor


Fluid Bed Reactors have been widely used in Chemical, Bio-Chemical and Petro-Chemical
industries. Theadvantages of Fluid Bed Bio-Reactors (FBBR) are mainly Food, Pharmaceutical
and Biological waste treatment sectors. In a fluidized Bio-Reactor, the particles can be much
smaller and fine. During fluidization operation, the bed expands to accommodate microbial
growth. The high surface area for Biomass to grow results in high heat and mass transfer rates.
This leads to isothermal and uniform mixing of particles tends to high concentration of active
bio-mass per unit volume of reactor.

This process also elimination of pollutants and toxins which are slows down the process. The
problem of cell washout that aggravates operation of continuous, stirred tank fermenters is less
likely in a fluidized bed, indeed it is impossible as long as the superficial liquid velocity is kept
below the settling velocity of the solid particles. Aerobic Reactors require oxygen and depending
upon this they can be classified as two phase or three phase FBBR.
1.1.5 bilogical growth kinetics

The natural process of microbiological metabolism in aquatic environment is capitalized in the


biological treatment of waste water. Under proper environmental conditions, the soluble organic
substances of the waste are completely destroyed by biological oxidation, part of it is oxidized
while rest are converted into biological mass, in the biological reactors. The end products of the
metabolism are either gas or liquid; on the other hand, the synthesised biological mass can
flocculate easily, particularly with increasing mean age of the cells, and are separated out in a
clarifier. Therefore, the biological treatment system usually consists of
(1) a biological reactor, and
(2) a settling tank to remove the produced biomass or sludge.
The application of the above concept of biodegradation in the biological treatment designs,
needs an adequate knowledge of the process kinetics. The following theses try to analyze the
process kinetics through FBBR

10 | P a g e

1.2 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

processes employed to treat wastes, kinetics involved in the biological treatment of industrial
wastes, efficiency and different materials property variance in treatment procedures, modelling
of 3 phased FBBR (fluidized bed bio reactor),cod vs bod removal variance etc
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

CHAPTER 2
THEORY AND LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 INTORDUCTION
The theoretical aspects related to industrial waste water treatment in general ,a literature review
on pilot scale project carried out using FBBR to know the kinetics involved in the reaction etc.,
modelling of the FBBR ,materials used etc. will be presented
2.2 Industrial waste water treatment
Depending on the mode of discharge of the waste and nature of constituents present in it the
treatment may constitute anyone of the following processes
Equalization
Neutralization
Physical treatment
Chemical treatment
Biological treatment
The above processes may be carried out partly or entirely in a municipal sewage treatment or
in separate treatment plant
When the characteristics of the waste water vary in a day also the discharge rate is not
uniform or continuous the waste may require equalization before it is subjected to the
treatment equalization consists of holding the waste water for some pre-determined time in a
continuously mixed basin, which produces an effluent of fairly uniform characteristics
When the waste contains the excessive amounts of acid or alkali (particularly acid) the waste
requires neutralization in the neutralization tank neutralization may be carried out in the
equalization tank, when the conditions permit
12 | P a g e

When the industrial waste is treated along with the municipal sewage or both it may be
required to separate the suspended matter by physical operations like sedimentation and
flotation ,sedimentation tanks are to be provided only when the waste contains high amounts
of settablesolids, flotation is employed to separate fine particles with very low settling
characteristics ,flotation consists of creation of fine air bubbles in the waste body by the
introduction of air to the system ,the rising air bubbles attach themselves to the suspended
particles and thereby increase the buoyancy of the particles the particles thus lifted to the
liquid surface are removed by skimming
Some of industrial wastes ,amenable to biological treatment, may require prior chemical
treatment; some requires only chemical treatment without any biological treatment
The chemical and physic-chemical processes treatments involve a significant recurring cost,
and chemical oxidation and precipitation required additional facilities for the treatment of
large quantities of sludge produced, so the chemical treatment should be provided only when
it becomes unavoidable
When the waste substances are biodegradable, with or without acclimatization biological
process is by far the most desirable treatment process .the treatment of an industrial waste
may be accessed by conducting tests on BOD/COD ratio. If the ratio is greater than 0.6,the
wastes are biologically treatable without acclimatization ,if the ratio ranges from 0.3-0.6 the
waste requires acclimatization for biological treatment ;if the ratio is less than 0.3 other
methods are suggested for treatment .the acclimatization involves the gradual exposure of the
waste in increasing concentration to the seed or initial microbiological population under a
controlled condition
The design criteria for the conventional biological treatment processes may be different for
different types of industrial wastes
The system parameters for particular type of industrial wastes may be determined by
laboratory experiments, in absence of any actual test result the performance data of similar
type of waste may be used for design

13 | P a g e

In some cases ,while the commonly available microbiological population fails to achieve the
biological oxidation, some special type of microorganisms do well, so for the effective
metabolism of some complex organic substances development of suitable microbial culture
containing specific group of organisms is necessary(as for example some microorganisms
which are phenolytic in action and often in well manured soil have been identified ,and are
employed in activated sludge treatment of coke oven effluents)
Most of industrial effluentsdo not contain sufficient amount of nutrients for good microbial
growth ,for effective biological treatment of this type of waste nutrients are added to the
reactors in the form of urea ,superphosphate or any other compound containing nitrogen
phosphorous ,for balanced growth of microorganisms in the reactor the BOD:N:P ratios of
100:5:1 in aerobic systems and 100:2.5:0.5 in anaerobic systems are to be maintained
Special care should be taken in regard to toxic wastes, toxicity may be of acute or chronic
type and may be humonous plants, animals or to microorganisms responsible for aerobic or
anaerobic biological treatment some of the toxic wastes like phenols, cyanides,
formaldehydes etc. Yield to acclimatized growths of normal or special type of bacteria, some
other toxic metal ions like copper, zinc, chromiumetc. Interfere with the biological oxidation
by taking up the enzymes essentially required for microbial growth, as such these must be
pretreated chemically before the waste is subjected to biological treatment
The selection of particular process depends on the effluent requirements and characteristics
of the wastes, it must be kept in mind that before the treatment policy is fixed up for a
particular industry the scope of recycling and reclamation (recovery)of the wastes must be
considered for a better management of industrial waste waters ,segregation of strong wastes
from the weak wastes sometimes reduces the problem

2.2.1 BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF INDUSTRIAL WASTES


Biological treatment is an important and integral part of anywastewater treatment plant that treats
wastewater from either municipality or industry having soluble organic impurities or a mix of the
two types of wastewater sources. The obvious economic advantage, both in terms of capital
14 | P a g e

investment and operating costs, of biological treatment over other treatment processes like
chemical oxidation; thermal oxidation etc. has cemented its place in any integrated wastewater
treatment plant.
Biological treatment using aerobic activated sludge process has been in practice for well over a
century. Increasing pressure to meet more stringent discharge standards or not being allowed to
discharge treated effluent has led to implementation of a variety of advanced biological treatment
processes in recent years. The title of this article being very general, it is not possible by any
means to cover all the biological treatment processes. It is recommended that interested readers,
for deeper reading and understanding, refer to well-known reference books e.g. Wastewater
Engineering by Metcalf & Eddy etc. here we briefly discusses the differences between aerobic
and anaerobic biological treatment processes and subsequently focuses on select aerobic
biological treatment processes/technologies
There are two types of biological treatment process; aerobic and anaerobic.

2.2.2 Biological Aerobic Treatment

Biological wastewater treatment is an extremely cost effective and energy efficient system for
the removal of BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand), since only micro-organisms are used. These
feed on the complex materials present in the wastewater and convert them into simpler
substances, preparing the water for further treatment. Aerobic wastewater treatment is a
biological process that takes place in the presence of oxygen. Aerobic wastewater treatment
encourages the growth of naturally-occurring aerobic microorganisms as a means of renovating
wastewater. Such microbes are the engines of wastewater treatment plants. Organic compounds
are high-energy forms of carbon. The oxidation of organic compounds to the low-energy form
(carbon dioxide) is the fuel that powers these engines. Understanding how to mix aerobic
microorganisms, soluble organic compounds and dissolved oxygen for high-rate oxidation of
organic carbon is one of the fundamental tasks of wastewater engineers.

15 | P a g e

Since anaerobic treatment is preferred when the dissolved organic concentrations of untreated
wastewater are high, aerobic treatment is often used as a secondary treatment process and
follows an anaerobic stage. Aerobic treatment consists of activated sludge processes or oxidation
lagoons. The size of these can be reduced and tolerance against fluctuations and toxics increased
by adding a step with moving bed bioreactors (MBBR) prior to the active sludge treatment.
Advantages are
1) Energy efficient
2) Cost effective
3) Can be used in combination with anaerobic processes
2.2.3 Biological Anaerobic Treatment
Anaerobic wastewater treatment is the biological treatment of wastewater without the use of air
or elemental oxygen. Many applications are directed towards the removal of organic pollution in
wastewater, slurries and sludges. The organic

pollutants

are converted by anaerobic

microorganisms to a gas containing methane and carbon dioxide, known as "biogas". Anaerobic
treatment is a slow process and can take up to 3 months, also due to septic decomposition,
unpleasant odours may occur

2.3 BASIC TYPES OF REACTORS


Wastewater involving physical, chemical and biological unit processes is carried out in vessels or
tanks commonly known as reactors. Reactors are used for growing cells. Reactors are designed
to meet the specific needs of the cells viz., optimal mixing, optimal temperature, and optimal pH.
In certain cases, reactors continuously supply nutrients or precursors to produce a particular
product. Reactors are available in a number of designs. Various types of reactors used for the
treatment of wastewater are as follows:

16 | P a g e

1. Batch Reactors: In the batch reactor, flow neither enters nor leaves the reactor
continuously. The liquid contents of the reactor are mixed completely. Batch reactors are
often used to blend chemicals or to dilute concentrated chemicals.
2. Complete-Mix Reactors: In the complete-mix reactor, it is assumed that complete mixing
occurs instantaneously and uniformly throughout the reactor as fluid particles enter the
reactor. Fluid particles leave the reactor in proportion to their statistical population.
Complete mixing can be accomplished in round or square reactors if the contents of the
reactor are uniformly and continuously redistributed. The actual time required to achieve
completely mixed conditions will depend on the reactor geometry and the power input.
3. Plug-Flow Reactors: Fluid particles pass through the reactor with little or no longitudinal
mixing and exit from the reactor in the same sequence in which they entered. The
particles retain their identity and remain in the reactor for a time equal to the theoretical
detention time. This type of flow is approximated in long open tanks with a high lengthto-width ratio in which longitudinal dispersion is minimal or absent or closed tubular
reactors.
2.4 basic kinetic equations
Whenever a micro-organism is inoculated in a suitable substrate it grows' in number by
multiplication, and the process of growth continues till the substrate is exhausted or any other
factor hinders the growth. In a batch reactor such growth of micro-organ may be schematically
shown as in Fig. The growth pattern follows three distinct phases
(1) log or exponential growth phase,
(2) declining or retarded growth phase, and
(3) endogenous growth phase or death phase

17 | P a g e

in the log growth phase ,the supply of the substrate is always adequate and the rate of
metabolism is only dependent on the ability of the micro-organism to utilize the substrate. In the
declining growth phase the rate of metabolism decreases due to the limitations in substrate
supply. In the endogenous growth phase, the micro-organisms are forced to oxidize their own
protoplasms for energy (endogenous respiration) and thereby decrease in number. The growth
pattern as shown in above figure is not applicable in a continuous biological reactor, where the
substrate or food for the micro-organism is continuously supplied.
The rate of substrate supply and the mass of active micro-organisms set the growth phase of
micro-organisms or the rate of metabolism in such a reactor. In other words, the "Food-to-microorganism" ratio controls the rate of metabolism in a continuous biological reactor, as shown in

Fig2.

18 | P a g e

Low food-to-micro-organism ratio, i.e. relatively scanty supply of food results in an endogenous
growth of micro-organisms; on the other hand log growth phase of metabolism is observed when
the supply of food is abundant, i.e. when the food-to-micro-organism ratio is higher. The sludge
produced at log phase is of very poor settling characteristics, and that in the endogenous phase
not only settles well but it is also more stable in nature. As such, in all biological reactors, the
system is so adjusted as to create a rate of metabolism ranging in between endogenous and
declining growth phase, as shown in Fig2.
As evident from Fig1, the formulation of a biological process is possible either in terms of
changes in the substrate concentration or in terms of microbiological growth. In the analyses and
design of a biological treatment system, any such formulations can relied upon, depending on
the availability of relevant data. However the microbiological growth kinetics offer a more
rational method designing the biological treatment units.
2.4.1 Biological-Treatment Kinetics
Kinetics Normally the biological treatment units are operated in declining growth phase of the
micro-organisms. At decli growth phase, the BOD removal rates are observed to concentration
dependent, and are expressed by the followi relationship
-dS/dt =KS
Where
S=amount of BOD remaining in the reactor after time t, mg/ltr
t=contact time(days)
k=1st order BOD removal constant, per day( T-1)
it may be noted that the va;lue of K may be based on either overall BOD5 or only soluble BOD5
soluble BOD5 removal rate constants are always higher than the overall BOD5 removal rate constants.
The value of K may vary with different types of wastes and environmental conditions. But for
normal domestic waste it may be assumed to be equal to 0.23/day
Integration of the Eqn. 3.1 between the limits S = So at t = 0, and S = S1 at t = t yields:
19 | P a g e

S1/S0 =e-kt
in which So = initial concentration of BOD and S1 = final concentration of BOD

The Eqn is a normal 1st order BOD removal rate equation and is applicable for a batch operation
only. The Eqn is sometimes written in the following form, which takes into account of the mass
of micro-organisms in the batch reactor:
-dS /dt = kXS

in which
k = specific BOD (overall or soluble, as the case may be) removal coefficient, 1/mg/day, which
equals to K/X, and
X= micro-organism concentration in the reactor, mg/l.
In most of the biological reactor designs, the concentration of the volatile suspended solids
(VSS) in the reactor is taken as the ncentration of the microbial mass. This assumption is true
only when the waste under treatment is soluble in nature; but the timate with such assumption
may be two fold to five fold in an Chic treatment, and upto two fold in anaerobic treatment, with
mestic waste water, because of a large amount of inactive (i.e. n-biomass) volatile suspended
solids present in it. However, since y the settled waste waters are treated, in most of the
biological tment units, the above approximation may not give rise to an ratifiable error. The
value of k and K are generally reported for a standard 'tor temperature of 20C. These values at
other temperatures y be calculated using the following relationship.
KT=k20T-20

in which
T = temperature in C, and
= temperature coefficient.
20 | P a g e

Different values of 0 have been reported by different workers for different temperature ranges.
Unless otherwise stated, for temperatures not below 20C, 0 may be assumed as 1.047, batch
processes. In continuous flow biological reactors, howev the following values may be assumed
for
1) Activated Sludge Process 1.00-1.03
2) Trickling Filter 1.02-1.04
3) Aerated Lagoon 1.06-1.09

2.4.2 Microbiological Growth Kinetics:


In any low-substrate-concentration system, under pro environmental conditions, the mass of
micro-organisms will tend increase due to cell synthesis and decrease due to the endogeno
respiration; the net rate of growth of bio-mass, dX/dt, may given by the following relationship:
in which
dX/dt = Y dF/dt kdX
X = concentration of the micro-organisms in the actor, mg/1 (ML-3),
t = time of contact in the reactor, days (T),
dX/dt = growth of micro-organisms in unit time per volume, (ML-3 T-1), mg/1 /day.
dF/ dt = rate of substrate utilization, mgfl/day (ML-3
Y = growth yield coefficient, mg/mg, and
kd = micro-organism decay coefficient, per day, (T-1)
Now, if S is the concentration of a soluble substrate in reactor, for a normal biological reactor,
where the subs removal is mediated through the micro-organisms only, the rate reduction of
substrate concentration can closely be approximated to the rate of substrate utilization

21 | P a g e

The equation can be rewritten as


(dX/dt)/X= dF/dt/X = -kd
the term (dX/dt)/X is referred, to as the "specific growth rate" and is often symbolized as 1.1, and
the term dF/dt/X is referred to as the "specific substrate utilization rate". Now in a batch process,
if the substrate is supplied to the micro-organisms in excess, the specific substrate utilization rate
remains constant under a particular set of substrate type, micro-organisms, and environmental
conditions. However, when the concentration of the substrate becomes growth limiting, i.e. when
the substrate supply falls short, the specific utilization and hence specific growth of microorganism declines. The relationship between the substrate concentration and the specific
substrate utilization rate is usually given by the following continuous hyperbolic function and is
shown graphically in fig3.
/

/
=
=

In Which
km = maximum rate of specific substrate utilization, per day (T-1),
Ks = substrate concentration at the utilization rate of km/2, mg/1 (ML-3)
Now in normal biological reactors where the substrate concentration is usually low, i.e. S < Ks,
the specific utilization rate approaches to km S/Ks,

/ /

=

22 | P a g e

For any general case the equation may be rewritten as follows

2.5 Fluidization

Fluidization is a process in which solids are caused to behave like a fluid byblowing gas or liquid
upwards through the solid-filled reactor. Fluidization is widely used in commercial operations;
the applications can be roughly divided into two categories
physical operations, such as transportation, heating, absorption, mixing of fine powder,
etc. and
chemical operations, such as reactions of gases on solid catalysts and reactions of solids
with gases etc.

The fluidized bed is one of the best known contacting methods used in the processing industry,
for instance in oil refinery plants. Among its chief advantages are that the particles are well
23 | P a g e

mixed leading to low temperature gradients, they are suitable for both small and large scale
operations and they allow continuous processing. There are many well established operations
that utilize this technology, including cracking and reforming of hydrocarbons, coal
carbonization and gasification, ore roasting, Fisher-Tropsch synthesis, coking, aluminum
production,melamine production, and coating preparations. The application of fluidization is also
well recognized in nuclear engineering as a unit operation for example, in uranium extraction,
nuclear fuel fabrication, reprocessing of fuel and waste disposal.

2.6 FBBR(fluidized bed bio reactor)


fluid Bed Reactors have been widely used in Chemical, Bio-Chemical and Petro-Chemical
industries. The advantages of Fluid Bed Bio-Reactors (FBBR) are mainly Food, Pharmaceutical
and Biological waste treatment sectors. In a fluidized Bio-Reactor, the particles can be much
smaller and fine. During fluidization operation, the bed expands to accommodate microbial
growth. The high surface area for biomass to grow results in high heat and mass transfer rates.
This leads to isothermal and uniform mixing of particles tends to high concentration of active
bio-mass per unit volume of reactor.
In the present experiment it can be described as a technique of biological treatment of
wastewater that can be used to carry out a variety of multiphase biochemical reactions. The
fluidized bed bioreactor is similar to the packed bed reactor in many respects, but the packing
material is expanded by the upward movement of fluid through the bed. The expanded porosity
of the fluidized bed packing material can be varied by controlling the flow rate of the fluid. The
fluidized media provides an extremely large surface area on which a film of microorganisms can
grow and produce a large inventory of biomass in a small rector volume. The result of this
biological growth is a system capable of high degradative performance for target contaminants in
a relatively small and economical reactor volume.

24 | P a g e

2.6.1PRINCIPLE:
The solid substrate material in the fluidized bed bioreactor is typically supported by a porous
plate, known as distributor. The fluid is then forced through the distributor up through the solid
material. At lower fluid velocities, the solids remain in place as the fluid passes through the voids
in the material. This is known as a packed bed reactor. As the fluid velocity is increased, the
reactor will reach a stage where the force of the fluid on the solids is enough to balance the
weight of the solid material.
This stage is known as incipient fluidization and occurs at this minimum fluidization velocity.
Once this minimum velocity is surpassed, the contents of the reactor bed begin to expand and
swirl around much like an agitated tank. The reactor now becomes a fluidized bed bioreactor.
2.6.2 CONSTRUCTION FEATURES:
The fluidized bed bioreactor is simple in design containing provision for distribution of the
influent liquid flow and a component to control the expansion of the fluidized bed when
necessary. When biological growth occurs on the particles of fluidized bed media, the diameter
of the particles increases and their effective density is reduced, resulting in a bed expansion
beyond that experienced with unseeded media. Under conditions resulting in extensive biofilm
growth, it may be necessary to control the biofilm thickness to prevent the density of the biofilm
covered media from decreasing to the point where bed carryover occurs

2.6.3 MECHANISM:
The fluidized bed bioreactor is a fixed-film reactor column that fosters the growth of
microorganisms on a hydraulically fluidized bed of media. In this reactor the liquid to be treated
is pumped upwards through a column bed of small biofilm coated particles at a flow rate
sufficient to cause fluidization of bed i.e., a state in which the particles, though retained within
the reactor, are able to move relative to one another in the liquid rather than being sedimented
and immobile. In fluidized bed bioreactors, it is possible to achieve a high concentration of
biomass depending on the operational conditions used in the process and the type of support used
25 | P a g e

to immobilize the microorganisms, which are found within a complex structure of cells and their
extra cellular products, referred to as a biofilm. Inorder to achieve aerobic degradation in this
reactor, support particles are fluidized by the flowing wastewater, which must have been
previously oxygenated or flow co-currently together with an air stream. Fluidization also allows
a greater volume of waste to be treated in the reactor per unit time, because greater flow rates
may easily be used with insignificant head losses.
2.6.4 FACTORS AFFECTING MECHANISM:
Performance of fluidized bed bioreactors greatly depends on the amount of biomass attached to
the inert core support particles and overall bed voidage. Thus, for proper design of an FBBR, it is
important to know the biological particle mixing and bed expansion behaviour, which inturn,
influence bed volume and consequently the residence time of the liquid phase.
Fluidization of the medium increases the effective surface area, compared with that of packed
beds. With packed beds, bridging tends to reduce the effective surface area, and comparable
contaminant loadings cannot be expected. When the fluidized bed bioreactor is used, the entire
surface area of the bed particles becomes available as biologically reactive sites because there is
no contact between particles. In fluidized bed bioreactors, effluent recirculation is necessary to
provide the fluid velocity within the necessary treatment detention times. Performance of the
reactor is normally site specific and depends on ambient conditions, type and quality of the
wastewater and nitrate and dissolved oxygen concentrations etc.

2.6.5 ADVANTAGES OF FLUIDIZED BED BIOREACTOR

FBBR has various advantages. Some of them are listed below.


1. As the media on which microorganisms grow is influidized state, the surface of the media
available for the development of microorganisms is quite large which leads to high concentration
of microorganisms and thus high flow rate can be achieved in FBBR.
26 | P a g e

2. Because of large concentration of microorganisms, FBBR bears high potential for the removal
of various parameters such as BOD, COD, nitrogen, etc.
3. Size of the FBBR plant is small as compared to other types of the reactors and hence the space
requirement
4. FBBR is capable of accepting shock loads.
5. Treatment by FBBR is economical where land cost is high.
6. If FBBR is operated properly, there is no need to provide secondary setting tank, which leads
to a saving in the total cost of plant.
7. FBBR provides an extraordinarily long SRT for microorganisms necessary to degrade the
xenobiotic and toxic compounds.
8. The system operation is simple and reliable

2.7 LITERATURE REVIEW


2.7.1 Manufacturing of biodiesel

Biodiesel has become an integral part of the discussion of renewable energy sources This paper
will consider used food oil as a fuel source at Williams College with a specific focus on the
feasibility of either manufactured biodiesel or waste vegetable oil (WVO) as replacements or
supplements for petroleum-based fuel Both WVO and biodiesel have potential for use on the
Williams campus, though their applicability to the school depends on future trends in vehicle
usage and fleet replacement. Despite this relative uncertainty, there is a definite place for used
cooking oil at Williams and the precedent set by other institutions of higher learning should
serve as a model for the colleges future plans.Biodiesel and waste vegetable oil are both
produced or refined from used vegetable oil, though each with different degrees of difficulty and
involvement. Biodiesel can be used in diesel-fueled vehicles without any modification of the
engine. Additionally, biodiesel can be mixed with petroleum diesel to create different grades of
fuel that are labeled based on the percentage of biodiesel in the blend; for example, B10 is 10%
27 | P a g e

biodiesel, 90% petroleum diesel. This means that in times of biodiesel scarcity, vehicles can use
a mix of fuels and still function the same way.
Though biodiesel has advantages in terms of its flexibility and applicability, the processto create
it is more complicated than WVO. Biodiesel is created from animal or vegetable oil that is
modified through a process called transesterification, during which triglycerides in the oil are
converted to methyl and ethyl esters and glycerin. First, the used vegetable oil must be filtered
for food scraps and solid waste particles. The oil is then heated to remove water and titration
must be performed to determine how much sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and methanol catalyst is
needed. A mixture of NaOH and methanol is then mixed in to the waste oil. The NaOH can be
procured in the form of lye drain cleaner while methanol is commonly found as gas tank
antifreeze. The glycerin that is produced must be removed through a process of washing and
drying before the biodiesel can be used as a fuel.
In comparison, waste vegetable oil production is much easier, though its applicability to vehicles
is dependent on the conversion of the existing diesel engine. The process of creating WVO is
incredibly simple: collect the used vegetable oil and filter the particles out of it. Modifying a
diesel vehicle to run on vegetable oil requires the addition of an additional tank to contain the
WVO and the installation of apparatus that allows the burning of both diesel and vegetable oil in
parallel. Conversion kits for vehicles are readily available, though the models they are designed
for are limited in number. A vehicle cannot run on WVO alone; it must start and stop on diesel
because the engine has to be warmed up and the oil must be heated before use.
As a result, WVO is not ideal for use over short distances, especially with intermittent turning on
and off of the engine as this would defeat the purpose of using the waste oil. Both biodiesel and
WVO present significant benefits in terms of ease of acquisition and emissions reductions. Waste
food oil can be obtained from any restaurant or dining hall that uses vegetable oil for frying food;
generally this waste oil is either disposed of or given away, so there is no cost to obtaining this
fuel source. Regarding emissions, biodiesel is the only alternative fuel source to have completed
the EPAs Tier I and Tier II health effects testing under the Clean Air Act. These tests
demonstrated significant reduction of nearly all regulated emissions and showed
biodiesel does not pose a threat to human health. Additionally, a U.S. Department of Energy
study showed that the production and use of biodiesel, compared to petroleum diesel, resulted ina

28 | P a g e

78.5% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions (Benefits of Biodiesel, 2009). Waste vegetable oil
has been found to reduce the amount of particulate matter, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide
in exhaust without any significant increase in the amount of nitrogen oxide produced (Wilson
and Vojtisek-Lom, 2004). Performance and fuel economy for both biodiesel and WVO is
roughly equivalent to petroleum diesel, though the use of high percentage biodiesel blends can
impact fuel system components in older vehicles, primarily fuel hoses and fuel pump seals that
contain elastomeric compounds that are incompatible with biodiesel (Biodiesel Performance,
2007). Despite this concern over degradation of parts, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, passed
by Congress in 1975, prohibits auto manufacturers from refusing to honor a warranty if their
product has a problem not directly caused by burning biodiesel. In general, most companies will
explicitly warranty blends of biodiesel ranging from five to twenty percent. The use of WVO, on
the other hand, voids the majority of warranties because it involves the actual conversion of the
fuel system. The consideration of manufacturers recognizing warranties is more of a concern
with the WVO-fueled vehicles since they are a more recent and experimental phenomenon at this
stage.

2.7.2 Fluidized bed bio-reactor(FBBR)


The biological fluidized bed reactor uses the biofilm which covered on carrier surface and bring
into play its function. Among these available different processes (such as: activated sludge
process, trickling filters, biodisc, etc.) to create efficient contacts between phases, fluidized bed
bioreactor (FBBR) seems to be the best one and present many advantages relating to
hydrodynamics and mass transfer phenomena.The use of fluidization as a contact technique in
biotechnology field gained considerable importance.
In biological fluidized bed, the small size particle provided the surface area where the
microorganism can adhere, roost and grow greatly, and in reactor keeps high microorganism
density

29 | P a g e

The fluidization operating mode create the effective mass transfer condition in reactor, according
to oxygen or mass transmission speed enhances obviously, the oxygen utilization is efficient as
well. High biomass and significant mass transfer condition enable the biological fluidized bed to
be possible to maintenance effect and reduce the reactor volume, consequently save the plant
investment. Compared the activated sludge process, the biological fluidized bed has the strong
anti-impact load capability, has does not the sludge expanded. Wei C. H. (1989) considered that
the Fluidized bed was with the great cubage loading () and sludge loading () its is 13 times
of conventional activated sludge system, 10 times of stage-aeration and 38 times of Bio filter.
In order to prevent the carrier escape, generally in reactor supposes the bufferzone, and the
biofilm which falls off may separate in buffer zone. When the loading is weak and the discharge
standard of suspended solid density is not special, second settling pond should be omitted, and
the process is simplified. As a result of the gas perturbation in three-phase fluidized bed, the
biofilm renews quickly with high activeness, and the membrane escape equipment need not be
installed as possibility. So far, the biological fluidized bed was employed in organic wastewater
treatment had approximately 30 years histories, and the varied structures were innovated.
However, the numerous researchers are inconsistent to the classification of the biological
fluidized bed.
Several typical kinds are described as following:
1. Conventional Biological Fluidized Bed
A. Two-phase biological fluidized bed
The typical two-phase fluidized beds are shown in Figure 5a,b, the fluidization power originates
from the extra circulating pump, in fluidized bed the carrier pellets expand and the fluidization
under the hydrodynamic function. Among them, Figure 5a is anaerobic fluidized bed, Figure 5b
is aerobic fluidized bed, the aerobic process needs the wastewater which aerated outside, then
feeds in fluidized bed. The merits of two-phase biological fluidized bed including: high handling
capability, no jamming problem, strong anti-impact load capability, compact structure, etc.. But
the disadvantages still existed: control difficultly for the expansion and biofilm thickness; in
aerobic stage the high capability aerator is absolutely necessarily.

30 | P a g e

B. Three-phase biological fluidized bed


The traditional three-phase biological fluidized bed can solve two-phase fluidized bed preaeration difficultly, reduce the energy consumption. Through the air bubble perturbation, further
strengthened between the liquid-solid mass transfer effect, and may control the biofilm thickness
to a certain extent by hydrodynamic shearing force (see Figure 5c.)
2. Nevel Biological Fluidized Bed Reactor
Along with the wastewater process technology unceasing development, highly effective, the low
consumption and treat to the organics waste water which degrade difficultly is one biological
fluidized bed development direction. Introduces several kinds in the last few years appear new
biological fluidized bed reactor as follow:
A. Circulation biological half fluidized bed
The Beijing chemical industry institute developed a novel half fluidized bed (see Figure 5d). The
circulation biological half fluidized bed realized the fluidized bed and the fixed bed series
operation, it not only had the good circulation characteristics, moreover overcame the difficulty
of the low removal efficiency for degrade difficultly organics in mixing reaction. Treated with
the starch wastewater, the hydraulic resident time (HRT) is shorter than 4h, COD load is 4.2kg/m
3 d, the least liquid/gas rate is
B. Oxygenation internal recycling three-phase compound biological fluidized bed
Based on the compound biological fluidized bed, the North China engineering institute chemical
industry innovated the structure which is made up of three-phase fluidized bed at bottom, at top
has safety filters and padding, the effluent through the oxygenation system, then enter the
contacted oxygenation bed with further reaction. Composed concurrently with the fluidized bed
and filter bed, the pilot is provided with small energy consumption, great compatibility, low
liquid/gas rate, the application prospect will be widely.(see Figure 5e)
C. BASE three-phase biological fluidized bed reactor
This kind of reactor was increased one catheter (anoxia area) in original BAS, obtained the
enough resident time and created the anoxia condition, NH3-N removal could be achieve
31 | P a g e

effectively. Adjusted the barometric pressure of aerobic area and minor loop hole of aerobicanoxic sector at the base which can be controlled the liquid and biofilm circulation in two
sectors, therefore does not need add the pump and the circulate pipeline.
D. The new Circox airlift three-phase fluidized bed reactor
This kind of fluidized bed was added one anaerobic area in traditional fluidized bed, the
denitrifying ability was enhanced. Due to the reactor has the aeration and anaerobic area, the
mixing uniformity and higher liquid speed can be obtained. The Circox airlift fluidized bed was
used in potato wastewater anaerobic pretreatment, and COD removal rate was high, its volume
loading may meet 4-10kg/ m 3 d, the denitrify rate up to 90%, the biomass in bed achieved as
high as 30g/L, the surplus sludge rate only has 2%-10%.

E. Internal-loop fluidized bed


The reactor consists of a three-phase (biofilm particles, water and air)internal-loop airlift reactor
(see Figure 5h) for nitrification, which is extended with a two-phase (biofilm particles and water)
external concentric downflowing bed, the extension for denitrification. As a result of the special
design of reactor, the liquid velocity in extension can be manipulated by the overpressure in the
headspace of aerobic compartment, thus controlling the liquid recirculation ratio between the
aerobic compartment and extension.
F. Triplet loop fluidized bed
Hydrodynamics and mass transfer of triplet loop biological fluidized bed reactors (see Figure 5i)
were studied in terms of gas holdup,liquid circulation velocity and volumetric mass transfer
coefficient It was bound from experiments that the main factor affecting hydrodynamics and
mass transfer is gas holdup. Liquid circulation velocity decreases with increase in the gas
holdup,whereas volumetric mass transfer coefficient increases with it ,Compared with
performance in conventional loop reactor,the gas holdup in triplet loop reactor increases by ten
to fifteen percent, and volumetric mass transfer coefficient in triplet loop reactor Increases by
over ten percent.

32 | P a g e

G. the extra-circulation three-phase biological fluidized bed


The fluidized bed is made of Plexiglass and shown schematically in Figure 5j, which consists of
a main bed and an auxiliary bed. The inside diameter and height of the main bed are 100 mm and
970 mm, while that of the auxiliary bed are 200 mm and 770 mm. The total volume of the
fluidized bed is 38 L. Granular activated carbon (40~60mech, 1160kg/m 3 ) is chosen as the
microorganism carrier. The transformation between aerobic and anoxic state in reactor is
facilitated by an automatic control box. It is demonstrated that COD removal efficiency kept
80% as HRT longer than 4 h in reactor

CHAPTER 3
METHADOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
Here we deal with information regarding fabrication of experimental setup, preparation of stock
solutions, biomass acclimatization, experimental program and analysis of samples
3.2 Experimental setup
A laboratory scale FBBR is constructed for experimental purpose using 6mm thick acrylic tube
,the setup consisted of 3 acrylic tubes of 1200mm height with 69mm internal dia and 75mm
external dia each arranged parallel to each other with valves at top and bottom of the tubes to
regulate the flow through them, to ease the experimentation and to keep the setup intact the
plates are provided at top and bottom of the tubes on which the experimental tubes rest and the
mesh is provided between the plates so as to prevent the loss of bed material into the pipe, the
sample water from waste water reservoir is pumped in to the 1inch dia pipe which carry the
water to the tubes whose valve is opened through the mesh which is placed between the plates
and the treatment is carried by fluidized bed in the tube and the water again goes thought the
mesh which is present at the top of the tube in between plates and goes to the outlet pipe fro
which the water is collected ,a flow meter is also arranged on inlet pipe to measure rate of flow,
flexible pipes of 1 inch dia are used as inlet and outlet pipes,plates acts are transition zone
between the inlet pipes of 1 inch dia and acrylic tubes of 69mm dia ,air is also blowed into the
tube through the pipe so as to make Shure that aerobic reaction takes place, air is blowed in to
the pipe from air condense through valve which is present in between the first tube and flow
meter ,and the air pressure is also regulated using the meter present or the amount of air flown to
the pipe is regulated by meter attached to condenser, and the 3 different bed materials are
introduced to the 3 tubes taken for experimentation, materials introduced in to the columns are

3.3 SAMPLE TAKEN FOR EXPERIMENTATION


The effluent water from the local food processing industry and bio diesel plant is taken at 15ltrs
each per day and diluted to 1:2 and 1:4 concentrations respectively for experimentation, the COD
& BOD values of the effluents are calculated before the experiment and after the dilution also
3.4 ACCLAMATIZATION OF BIOMASS
A 5ltr capacity plastic jar with open top was used for biomass acclimatization which is microbial
growth ,a concentrated solution is prepared by crushing tomatos in the jar and mixing with small
amount of waterv and adding both wet and dry sludge collected from domestic sewage plant to it
making over to 4ltr of the jar ,and ingratians are mixed thoroughly daily for aerobic growth of
microoganisms ,the process is contined for a week and the slurry which is obtained at the end in
the jar is introduced 1 ltr each in to the tubes which acts as seed for biomass acclimatization for
bed particles in the tubes
3.5 EXPERIMENTATION
The acclimatized biomass is transferred to the acrylic tubes and aerated by by filling the tube
with water for 3 days before the start of experiment, then the experiment is started by pumping
the effluent taken from the industry and diluting it to required concentration as said and recycling
it ,the COD of the effluent before pumping is measured and also durig the experimentation the
sample from outlet is taken at intervals of 30min,60min,90 min and the respective COD & BOD
values are measured, simultaneously the rate of flow is measured in the gauge and also rate of
flow is measured at outlet pipe through which water goes to the effluent reservoir the same is
carried out in other two tubes with different bed materials, the process is continued till the
constant percentage removal is obtained from the treated water
3.6 ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES
The influent and effluent samples were analyzed for COD & BOD values using standard
methods.
The COD of the sample is measured by standard reflux method ,The principle governing
standard reflux method is as follows: Many types of organic matter are oxidized by a boiling
38 | P a g e

mixture of chromic and sulphuric acids. A sample is refluxed in strongly acidic solution with a
known excess of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7). After digestion, the remaining unreduced
K2Cr2O7 is titrated with ferrous ammonium sulphate to determine the amount of K2Cr2O7
consumed and the oxidizable matter is calculated in terms of oxygen equivalent. The equipment
and the reagents used for the analysis of samples are reflux apparatus. Standard potassium
dichromate solution, concentrated sulphuric acid with silver sulphate crystals, ferrion indicator
solution, standard ferrous ammonium sulphate and mercuric sulphate, HgSo4 powder.
The procedure used for the determination of COD is as follows: 20 ml of sample was taken into a
round-bottomed flask and 20 ml of distilled was taken into another flask. To each of the two
flasks, 0.4 gm of HgSo4 and 10 ml of potassium dichromate solution were added carefully and
by mixing 20 ml of sulphuric acid. Glass beads were also added. The flasks were attached to the
condensers and were kept in the reflux for 2 hours. After 2 hours of boiling, the condensers were
cooled and rinsed with distilled water. The reflux condenser was disconnected and diluted to
about twice its volume with distilled water. 2 to 3 drops of ferrion indicatorsolution was added to
each of the flasks and titrated against ferrous ammonium sulphate to the endpoint when the
colour changes sharply from bluish green to reddish brown. The initial and final burette readings
were noted.
COD as mg/lit = (A-B)*M*8000/m1 of sample.
Where
A = ferrous ammonium sulphate used for blank (ml)
B = ferrous ammonium sulphate used for sample (m1)
M = molarity of ferrous ammonium sulphate, and
8000 = milliequivalent weight of oxygen* 1000 m1/1.
The removal efficiencies at each operating time were calculated and tabulated. The variation of
treatment efficiencies against the time are plotted at 30, 60, and 90 minutes of treatment times
The bod of the sample is measured based on microorganisms in the wastewater to decompose
waste. These microorganisms are primarily aerobic, so they use up oxygen as they break down
39 | P a g e

organic matter. The Biochemical Oxygen Demand, or BOD, is the amount of dissolved oxygen
which is used up by these microorganisms and is roughly equivalent to the amount of "food"
(organic matter) found in the wastewater. The more "food" that is present in the water, the more
DO will be used up by the bacteria and the greater the BOD reading will be.

A major disadvantage of the BOD test is that results are not available for 5 days. Nevertheless,
BOD tests are an integral part of the wastewater operator's repertoire. Wastewater treatment
plants use BOD as an estimate of the waste load in the influent water. BOD tests are used to
determine the effects of discharges on receiving waters.
The procedure used for the determination of BOD is as follows:Take 300 mL sample in BOD
bottle. Prepare two sets of this sample. Keep one set for DO analysis for day 0 (i.e.,
Sample0Day) and another sample in BOD incubator for 5 days at 20 C (Sample5Day) (this is
how 5-day BOD experiment is done). Here you will prepare duplicate samples and analyze at
Day 0 (i.e., Sample0Day_A and Sample0Day_B). For a given sample bottle, add 1 mL of alkali
azide and then 1 mL manganous sulfate solution. Shake well the bottle and keep it open for 5
minutes to settle the precipitate. Add 2 mL concentrated H 2 SO 4 and place the cap on the
bottle. Shake well the bottle till all the precipitate is dissolved. Take 203 mL of sample in conical
flask and titrate with standard sodium thiosulfate solution (0.025N) till the colour changes from
dark yellow to light yellow. Then add few drops of starch indicator and continue to titrate till the
color of the solution becomes either colorless or changes to its original sample colour. Note
down volume of 0.025N sodium thiosulfate consumed. Calculate DO value of the sample.
Remember that in 200 mL sample, 1 mL of sodium thiosulfate of 0.025N equals to 1 mg/L
dissolved oxygen

Dissolved oxygen (DO) (in mg/L) = mL of sodium thiosulfate (0.025N) consumed.


BOD = (initial D.O final D.O-blank correction) X Volume of diluted sample
Volume of sample taken

3.7 Analysis of reaction rate coefficients:


Typically, reaction rate coefficients are determined using the results obtained from batch
experiments, from continuous-flow experiments, and from pilot and fields-scale experiments.
Using the data from experiments, the coefficients can be determined using a variety of method
including
(1) The method of integration and
(2) The differential method
As summarized in the method of integration involves the substitution of the measured date on
the amount of reactant remaining at various times into the integrated form of the rate expression.
Plots of the integrated forms of the reaction rate expressions used to determine the reaction rate
coefficients are as follows
Zero order reaction :
rc= dc/dt = k

k determined by plotting graphically c versus t


first order reaction :
rc= dc/dt = kc
k determined by plotting graphically ln(c/c0) versus t
second order reaction :
rc= dc/dt = kc2
k determined by plotting graphically 1/c versus t

41 | P a g e

in the deferential method, where the order of the reaction is unknown, the concentrations remaining
at two different times are used to solve the differential form of the rate expression for the order
of the reaction. Once the reaction order is known, the reaction rate coefficient is determined by
substitution using the test data.
rc= dc/dt = kcn
k determined by plotting graphically log(dc/dt) versus log(c) or analytically by solving for n
The application of these two methods is illustrated in our experiments.
3.8 Biological Treatment Kinetics, as Applied in Continuous Reactor
Assuming that the removal of BOD is governed by a 1st order equation , the material balance in
a complete-mix reactor may be written as follows.

[Rate of change of BOD in the reactor] = [Rate of BOD inflow] - [Rate of BOD outflow]- [Rate
of BOD removal]
or, (dS/dt)V =QS0 QS1 KS1V
in which,
Q = waste flow rate,
V = volume of the reactor,
So = influent BOD (Substrate) concentration,
S1 = effluent BOD concentration, and,
42 | P a g e

K = 1st order BOD removal rate constant,


Now in steady state, dS/dt = 0.
From the above equation we get

1
0

1+()

3.9 Microbiological Growth Kinetics, as Applied in Continuous Reactor


In the analysis of these type of biological reactor, the following assumptions are made:
(i)

Liquid waste flow into the reactor at a constant rate Q, is instantaneously and
homogenously mixed with the contents of the reactor.

(ii)

The mixed liquor of the reactor is withdrawn at a rate equal to the rate of inflow Q,

(iii)

Influent does not contain any active microorganisms, and

(iv)

The microorganism concentration in the effluent and that the reactor are equal.

Under these conditions, the material mass balance across the system may be written as
follows:
[Rate of change biomass in reactor] = [Net growth rate of microbial mass in the reactor.] =[Rate
of microorganisms outflow from the reactor ]

(dX/dt) V =(Y dF/dt - kdX)V - QX

43 | P a g e

But as in a steady state, the microbial mass reaches a constant value,


dX/dt=0 dt
the eqn. reduces to:
(Y (df/dt) kdX)V = Qx
Now, the mean retention time of the microbial mass in the actor, or "mean cell residence
time"c, is given by:
c =VX/QX =V/Q=
it which,
= hydraulic retention time,
c, = mean cell residence time.
using above Eqn may be rewritten as follows:
1/ c =Y (dF/dt)/X -kd
I he specific substrate utilization rate, (dF/dt)/X represents the food to-micro-organisms ratio",
U, or, the "process loading rate, when considered on a finite mass and time basis.
U =(AF/At)/XM
I which F/ t = amount of food utilized "per unit time of t,

Xm = mass of the active micro-organisms in the reactor. Using above Eqns., reduces to the
following form:
1/ c = Y.U kd

44 | P a g e

The above Eqn. 3.20 is the basic or the controlling equation in any biological reactor of this type.
Hence the process can be controlled by regulating either c , or U.
solving all Eqn. for the effluent substrate concentration, S1, the following relationship is
obtained:

1 =

(1+c)
c (YKmKd)1

The Eqn completely defines the value of the effluen substrate concentration S1 which is our Ceff,
for a particular type of substrate with characteristic values of km, KS, Y and kd, and for a given
value of control process parameter, c

As the above equation is used for steady state condition we use the equation for our experiment
after rearranging terms

The effluent values obtained from the experiment are compared with the different reaction rate
equations and the comparison graphs are drawn as shown above, it is observed such that the first
order model equation is most suitable for the experiments conducted in the laboratory, zero
order is also suitable with some extra margin of error than first order and the remaining second,
differential orders are least suitable models for the experiment conducted

5.2 Conclusions:
1) From the experimental program it is observed that there is an increasing in the percentage
removal of COD & BOD with an increase in operation time periods of the reactor.
2) The increase in the percentage removal of COD &BOD against the increase in operation time
are as follows:
a) vide table 4.6.1 the maximum percentage removal of COD obtained are 69.79 ,72.11
72.32 for bio carriers, against the operation time period of 30, 60, 90 min respectively, at the end
of the experimental period of 14 days.
b) Vide table 4.6.2 the maximum percentage removal of COD obtained are 60.49 ,63.94,
65.144 for pumice stones, against the operation time period of 30, 60, 90 min respectively, at the
end of the experimental period of 15 days.
c) Vide table 4.6.3 the maximum percentage removal of COD obtained are 79 .68 ,79.76,
80.394 for foam, against the operation time period of 30, 60, 90 min respectively, at the end of
the experimental period of 9 days.
d) vide table 4.6.1 the maximum percentage removal of BOD obtained are 79.79%, 80.5%,
83.32% for bio carriers, against the operation time period of 30, 60, 90 min respectively, at the
end of the experimental period of 12 days.
e) Vide table 4.6.2 the maximum percentage removal of BOD obtained are 73.49%, 75.92%,
76.65% for pumice stones, against the operation time period of 30, 60, 90 min respectively, at
the end of the experimental period of 13 days.
f) Vide table 4.2.6 the maximum percentage removal of BOD obtained are 84.77%, 85.67%,
86.67% for foam, against the operation time period of 30, 60, 90 min respectively, at the end of
the experimental period of 8 days.
g)the obtained values from modelled equations are compared with the experimental value
h) first order is most suitable with minimal error

147 | P a g e

i)zero order has the marginal error with respect to most of values and second best for the
experiment
j)while the differential and second order models are not suitable for the conducted experiment
k)similarly biological treatment kinetics and microbiological growth kinetics applied to the
values and are found to satisfy with the system.
