Influence of Wastewater Composition on Microbial Communities of Aerobic Granules and their Nutrient Removal Performances

Christof Holliger, Aline Sondra Adler, Eva Reynaert

ABSTRACT Basic understanding of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) processes has mainly been obtained in laboratory-scale studies with simple synthetic wastewaters. Two approaches were applied here to make a step toward the comprehension of AGS systems treating ...

Biokinetic Model Identification via Extents of Reaction

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Model structure selection and parameter identification for biokinetic modeling of biological wastewater treatment processes is broadly accepted to be a complicated task. Contributing factors include (i) nonlinear behavior, (ii) lack of knowledge, (iii) lac ...

Evolution of microbial communities and nutrient removal performances in aerobic granular sludge sequencing batch reactor during change of substrate

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aline Sondra Adler, Valérie Berclaz, Marie Christelle Horisberger

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a promising alternative wastewater treatment to the conventional activated sludge system. As AGS has enhanced settling abilities and provides different redox conditions across the granules at the same time, the processes ba ...

Identification of microorganisms in Aerobic Granular Sludgeactively involved in biological phosphorus removal

Arnaud Michel Gelb

One of the aims of the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater is the removal of phosphorus prior to discharge into the environment. Since phosphorus concentrations in wastewater exceed the requirement of bacterial growth, biological phosphorus rem ...

Polyphosphate - a key biopolymer in aerobic granular sludge technology

Christof Holliger, Aline Sondra Adler, Arnaud Michel Gelb

Polyphosphate is the key biopolymer in wastewater treatment (WWT) processes applying enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) by polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAO). Alternating anaerobic (no oxygen and no nitrate) and aerobic phases is used to ...

Role of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in micropollutant removal from wastewater with aerobic granular sludge

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Jonas Margot, Samuel Lochmatter

Nitrifying wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are more efficient than non-nitrifying WWTPs to remove several micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. This may be related to the activity of nitrifying organisms, such as ammonia-oxidizing bac ...

Optimizing the extraction of extracellular DNA of aerobic granular biofilms

Katarzyna Bialek

Formation and properties of aerobic granules for enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) from sequencing batch reactor (SBR) strongly depend on the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in which the microorganisms are embedded. The composition of ...

Development of a novel sequential pretreatment strategy for the production of bioethanol from sugarcane trash

Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran

A novel sequential pretreatment strategy using biodiesel industry generated waste glycerol assisted transition metal and alkali pretreatment of sugarcane trash were developed for the production of bioethanol. Various process parameters affecting pretreatme ...
