- Description
- A combination of a submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) and a secondary digester was tested for the treatment of wine distillery wastewater (WDW). The experimental system, consisting of four individual reactors, was tested during a 30-days study. Buffering of pH was achieved by mixing the feed stream of the system with 1000 mg/l of CaCO3 and K2HPO4 for the initial 10 days of the bioreactor system operation, and with 8000 mg/l of CaCO3 and 4000 mg/l of K2HPO4 for the remainder of the study. Buffering proved to be significant for optimum performance of the system in removal of soluble chemical oxygen demand (CODS), and volatile fatty acids (VFAs). Different batches of WDW used for feeding the reactor had variable compositions with respect to concentrations of nitrates, ammonium and the total concentration of phenolic compounds. Am-monium accumulated in the secondary digester after 14 days of treatment system operation, indicating the time required for the establishment of anaerobic conditions in the system. An additional step would be required for removal of phosphates from the effluent of the bioreactor, e.g., reverse osmosis, if the effluent is to be reused in production or other applications.
