The paper evaluates the organic carbon and nitrogen removal performance of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR), technology for tannery wastewater. For this purpose, a pilot-scale SBR was installed on site to treat the plain-settled tannery effluent. The study involved wastewater characterization, start-up and operation of the reactor for carbon and nitrogen removal and model evaluation of system performance. Its removal efficiency was compared with that of the existing continuous-flow activated sludge system providing full treatment to wastewater from the Istanbul Tannery Organized Industrial District.

The effect of temperature on the nitrogen removal performance of the sequencing batch reactor technology is evaluated for tannery wastewater. The study involved the operation of a pilot-scale sequencing batch reactor installed on site to treat the plain-settled effluent. The nitrogen balance of the system is observed for a wide temperature range between 9 to 30°C. The results are evaluated by means of model calibration of COD, nitrate and ammonia nitrogen concentration profiles during cyclic operation. The fates of the major nitrogen parameters are also interpreted on the basis of fundamental stoichiometry for nitrification and denitrification.

A2N is two-sludge system, by using the method that first bringing up the cultivation of denitrifying phosphorus removing bacteria (DPB) and nitrification biofilm separately then connecting them, which can start up A2N system successfully. Nitrification biofilm was cultivated in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). After 30 days, NH4+-N effluent concentration steadily stayed below 0.5mg·L-1.In another SBR, the activated sludge for the enrichment of DPB is from the anaerobic tank, which was firstly operated under anaerobic/aerobic (A/O) condition. After 20 days, PAOs was successfully enriched. Then, the activated sludge was conducted under anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic (A/A/O) condition, maintaining the anaerobic time, gradually increased anoxic time and induced aerobic time. After 30 days DPB was successfully enriched, two phases totally take 50 days. The removal efficiency of total nitrogen and phosphorus are above 85 % and 95 %, so that A2N system was started up successfully.

IFAS process was coupled with SBR operation in a pilot-scale reactor to verify the feasibility and to evaluate the performance of IFAS-SBR. Significant nitrification improvement in the IFAS-SBR system was observed, which is attributed to both the introduction of attached-growth biomass on media carriers and the “seeding effect” by biofilm sloughing.

The sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process concept was applied to achieve efficient ammonium removal via nitrite under both laboratory and pilot-scale conditions. Both sets of experimental results show that without pH control or carbon addition the nitritation process consistently converted approximately 50% of the ammonium from biosolids dewatering liquids to nitrite with hydraulic retention times (HRT) as short as 10 h. The results from the pilot-scale study also indicate that the selective oxidation of ammonium to nitrite is a reliable process as the accumulation of nitrate was never an issue during a 330-day trial. The SBR process concept was extended to achieve complete nitrogen removal through nitritation and denitritation in the laboratory scale. The experimental results indicate that a total reduction of 96-98% of the ammonium nitrogen from biosolids dewatering liquids (influent concentration typically 1,200 g m-3 ) was achieved with a short HRT of 1.1 d and a removal rate of 1.05 kgNm-3d-1. This process concept was tested at pilot scale where the nitritation process could be started up without temperature control in a short period of time. Nitrogen removal rates up to 1.2 kgNm-3d-1 at an HRT of 0.88 d have been obtained. COD to nitrogen ratios required in the pilot plant were consistently in the range 1.6-1.9 kgCOD kg-1N removed.

A 3.5 L Membrane Sequencing Batch Reactor (MSBR) was used for the treatment of a wastewater coming from the beamhouse section of a tannery. The wastewater, produced after the oxidation of sulphide compounds, contained average COD and ammonium concentrations of 550 and 90 mg/L respectively. The system was operated for a period of 150 days, with no sludge removal during the whole period of operation. The biomass concentration inside the reactor varied considerably, with maximum values close to 10 g/L at the end of operation. Low biomass yield values were achieved probably due to the low feed/microorganisms (F/M) ratio. An important accumulation of organic matter in the reactor was noticed, although the COD effluent was not affected due to the permeation through the membrane. The nature of this organic matter is finally discussed. Removal efficiencies close to 100% in ammonium and 90% in COD were achieved and the TN removal efficiency ranged from 60 to 90%.
