Robust and sustainable cultivation of microalgae: recycling of nitrogen from liquid digestate and control of biological contamination

The present doctoral thesis aimed to achieve a robust cultivation of microalgae by recycling nitrogen from a liquid digestate. However, the use of non-sterile nutrient source increases the risks of contamination of undesired organisms such as bacteria, vir ...

Characterization of phosphorus species distribution in waste activated sludge after anaerobic digestion and chemical precipitation with Fe3+ and Mg2+

Ho Ling Li, Jie Zhang, Lin Li

Given the great concern about phosphorus (P) resource depletion, it's promising to recover P from waste activated sludge (WAS) especially for agricultural application. To this end, it's necessary to understand the P speciation and fractionation within the ...

Modeling Hydraulic Transport and Anaerobic Uptake by PAOs and GAOs During Wastewater Feeding in EBPR Granular Sludge Reactors

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt

New-generation bioprocesses using granular sludge aim for a high-rate removal of nutrients from wastewater with low footprint. Achieving enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) relies on the design of sludge beds and wastewater feeding conditions to ...

Multilevel Correlations in the Biological Phosphorus Removal Process: from Bacterial Enrichment to Conductivity-Based Metabolic Batch Tests and Polyphosphatase Assays

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Alessandro Brovelli, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Alexandre Chabrelie, Jonathan May

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) from wastewater relies on the preferential selection of active polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAO) in the underlying bacterial community continuum. Efficient management of the bacterial resource requires ...

Identification of trigger factors selecting for polyphosphate- and glycogen-accumulating organisms in aerobic granular sludge sequencing batch reactors

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt

Nutrient removal performances of sequencing batch reactors using granular sludge for intensified biological wastewater treatment rely on optimal underlying microbial selection. Trigger factors of bacterial selection and nutrient removal were investigated i ...

Bacterial Resource Management for Nutrient Removal in Aerobic Granular Sludge Wastewater Treatment Systems

David Gregory Weissbrodt

The approach of wastewater treatment has shifted towards a holistic view in order to achieve sustainability in addition to environmental protection. The aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology, which relies on the use of fast-settling granular biofilms ca ...

Nitrogen removal from digested manure in a simple one-stage process

Christof Holliger

A process based on partial nitrification and recirculation into the anaerobic digester was studied to remove nitrogen from digested manure and thus reduce enhanced gaseous ammonia emissions due to on-farm biogas production. An anaerobic reactor representin ...

Significance of Rhodocyclaceae for the formation of aerobic granular sludge biofilms and nutrient removal from wastewater

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Samuel Lochmatter

The competition of two Rhodocyclaceae-affiliated bacterial populations was assessed during the formation and maturation of aerobic granular sludge in two different types of anaerobic-aerobic sequencing batch reactors. Zoogloea spp. (57%) were predominant i ...

Performance and microbial community composition dynamics of aerobic granular sludge from sequencing batch bubble column reactors operated at 20, 30, and 35°

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Pierre Rossi, Sirous Ebrahimi, Emmanuelle Rohrbach, Sébastien Gabus, Maryam Hosseini

Two bubble column sequencing batch reactors fed with an artificial wastewater were operated at 20, 30 and 35°C. In a first stage, stable granules were obtained at 20°C whereas fluffy structures were observed at 30°C. Molecular analysis revealed high abunda ...
