The Impact

Settling problems caused by pin-point sludge constitute a serious problem in biological wastewater treatment, particularly in many industrial plants. Until now, most studies focused on the relationship between pin-point sludge formation and either shearing forces or the impact of toxicants. This study deals with the community structure in both the micro- and macrofloc fraction which was analyzed by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and BIOLOG substrate utilization patterns. It was shown that each fraction consisted of different microbial communities with unique metabolic profiles suggesting that pin-point sludge formation is not due to dispersal of intact flocs but to microcolonies growing separately. Alternatively, macroflocs may have an architecture leading to segregation of microbial communities after floc dispersal. Further it could be shown that the formation of microflocs was influenced by sludge age. The best sludge sedimentation was obtained for a sludge age of 5 and 10 days. Additional analysis of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) suggested that the lower protein to carbohydrate ratio of 10-day-old sludge led to better flocculation compared to 20-day-old sludge containing similar total amounts of EPS. From a practical point of view, addition of potassium (0.1 g/l) effected a noticeable improvement of sludge settleability.
