Treatment of brewery slurry in thermophilic anaerobic sequencing batch reactor

In brewing idustry large amount of slurry originates beside sewage. Such slurry is often treated as a waste material. In one of Slovenian Breweries we have studied the possibility of processing of waste slurry into biogas. We introduced sequencing treatment of waste slurry in such manner, that we completely adopted the process to slurry discharge. In such manner we saved 50% of reactor volume and have reduced the enregy demand of the brewery for 10-15 %.

Municipal waste sludge digestion in an autothermal aerobic sequencing batch reactor.

We successfully used SBR technology in treatment of municipal sludge in small wastewater treatment plants. Process uses autothermal aerobic effect of microorganisms respiration to hygienize and heat the digested sludge to thermophilic temperatures. Moreover after thermophilic treatment it is possible to implement nitrification of sludge water and consequently reduce the nitrogen load in the wastewater treatment plant.

Anaerobic digestion of tannery waste: semi-continuous and anaerobic sequencing batch reactor processes

We have developed an innovative process of anaerobic digestion of tannery waste for tannery industry. We have developed anaerobic sequencing batch reactors which have optimally processed the waste substrates to biogas. The process was adopted to waste discharge, therefore reactor volume was saved.

An SBR system with a high flocculent biomass concentration

The kinetic of the biological wastewater treatment in the SBR with the mixture of flocculent and granular biomass was presented. Results show that the flocculent/granular SBR system is 2 – 3 time more effective than the classic SBR system with flocculent biomass.

Nitrate and nitrite nitrogen determination in waste water using on-line UV spectrometric method

The UV spectrometric probe was tested for the on-line measurements of nitrite+nitrate concentration in different water samples. The probe measuring cell could be clogged at a high biomass concentration in the sample from the SBR system. Highly accurate results were obtained when nano-filtration was used for the sample preparation.
