- Description: Integrated algal pond systems (IAPS) are a passive water treatment technology derived from the Oswald designed advanced integrated wastewater pond systems (AIWPS®) and effect wastewater treatment based on biological activity of microorganisms within the system, solar energy and gravity. The technology consists of an advanced facultative pond (AFP), a series of interconnected high rate algal oxidation ponds (HRAOP) and algal settling ponds. The symbiotic relationship between microalgae and bacteria facilitated by paddlewheel mixing of HRAOP results in the formation of biomass aggregates known as MaB-flocs. MaB-floc formation enhances nutrient abstraction, gravitational sedimentation and separation from water hence forming two product streams; recyclable water and biomass, both with valorisation potential. This work aimed to determine the suitability of MaB-floc biomass generated in the HRAOP of an IAPS treating domestic sewage as feedstock for biofuel production based on the content of carbohydrate and lipid. Nutrient removal efficiency, biomass productivity and bulk lipid and carbohydrate concentration were monitored for two consecutive three-month periods in the winter and summer seasons of 2018/19. Maximum removal efficiencies of nitrogen and phosphorus were determined as 71% and 75% respectively, demonstrating the efficiency of IAPS as a wastewater treatment technology. MaB-floc biomass productivity in winter and summer was 9.4 g/m2/d and 16.5 g/m2/d respectively indicating the heavy influence of seasonal temperature, possibly day length, and solar irradiation on biomass productivity in the HRAOP. Summer productivity was lower than the maximum theoretical productivity of 25 g/m2/d possibly due to photoinhibition of photosynthesis as well as grazing pressures caused by the proliferation of rotifers mainly of the Brachionus genus. MaB-floc biomass consistently contained higher amounts of carbohydrate than lipid despite the changes in species dominance from Scenedesmus sp. and Desmodesmus sp. in winter to Pediastrum sp. in summer. Variations in MaB-floc biomass carbohydrate content were linked to changes in nitrogen concentration, mainly in the form of nitrates. Lower nitrogen concentration significantly increased the carbohydrate content of MaB-floc biomass from 17.5 ± 0.15% to 33.5 ± 0.3 % recorded in summer. In winter, biomass carbohydrate increased from 18.3 ± 1.2% to 35.8 ± 0.3%.To induce accumulation of carbohydrates through nitrogen starvation, isolated microalgal species native to the HRAOPs of the IAPS at Institute for Environmental Biotechnology Rhodes University(EBRU) were used. The outcome from the laboratory studies showed that carbon partitioning within isolated strains could be altered from carbohydrate to lipid which is more energy-rich. Hence, exploring the biodiesel production option using HRAOP MaB-floc biomass, which had a lipid content ranging between 12.1 ± 0.64 % and 13.9 ± 0.5 %, would require a preconditioning step in the form of nitrogen starvation to enhance its lipid content. Overall, the outcome of outdoor monitoring studies on biomass biochemical composition indicated that HRAOPs operating under natural environmental conditions preferentially generated a biomass rich in carbohydrate. Therefore, anaerobic digestion may be a more viable option for HRAOP MaB-floc biomass because of the high carbohydrate levels ranging between 24.9 ± 0.6 % and 25.6 ± 1.3 % of the dry MaB-floc biomass weight. Despite the low biomass C/N ratio (7.1 to 7.8), the MaB-floc biomass can be anaerobically co-digested with a higher C/N ratio (24) substrate such as in-pond digester sludge, to improve methane yields calculated to be between 0.31 m3 CH4/ kg MaB-floc biomass and 0.33 m3 CH4/ kg MaB-floc biomass. Anaerobic digestion of biomass also produces CO2 which can be recovered and added to HRAOPs to enhance MaB-floc biomass productivity while lowering greenhouse gas emissions from a wastewater treatment plant. The digestate from the anaerobic process, which is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus can be used as a biofertiliser. Thus, a potential MaB-floc biomass biorefinery consisting of biogas and bio-fertiliser pathways can be established using IAPS treating sewage as the platform technology. IAPS is a system designed to operate in a way that is passive and without substantial environmental impact but technological innovations and a reduction in the size of the system are required to make the technology more acceptable.

- Description: Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are designed to clean effluents, but they also consume resources and produce waste. Various treatment technologies allow for the recovery of energy, nutrients and water from effluents turning this waste into products, which increases their sustainability and decreases the impact of WWTPs on the environment. There is a lack of literature which comprehensively compares the treatment performances, environmental impacts and beneficial downstream uses of the biomass generated by high rate algal pond (HRAP) and activated sludge (AS) treatment systems. This thesis aimed to compare (1) effluent treatment performance, (2) emissions and (3) downstream use of algae cultured in HRAP to sludge produced in AS and to obtain data to conduct a life cycle analysis (LCA) to compare the systems. The focus was on adding value to the effluent treatment process, while identifying the associated environmental impacts and contributing to the first ever zero-waste brewery effluent treatment system. Furthermore, these data were used to provide a basis to critically review and contribute to improving the methods used in the LCA of effluent treatment systems; particularly since this was the first wastewater treatment LCA that compared AS and HRAP using data collected from the same temporal and geographic location and from a single effluent stream. The electrical consumption water emission and land application of waste biomass caused the major environmental impacts of both treatment systems. The HRAP had less than 50 % of the electrical energy consumption (0.11±0.01 kW/m3 of effluent treated) compared to the AS system (0.29±0.11 kW/m3) which resulted in the technology having a lower climate change, photochemical oxidant formation, freshwater and marine ecotoxicity and fossil fuel depletion impact. It is imperative to understand the method of electrical energy (fossil fuel vs renewable) generation when conducting a LCA and deciding which technologies to use, since they have a major influence on the aforementioned impacts. The biogas yield of algal and sludge substrates was similar with an average gas production of 241 ml/g volatile solids fed. Biogas from algae fed digesters had a significantly higher methane content (64.73±0.81 %) and lower carbon dioxide content (22.94±0.24 %) when compared to WAS fed digesters (60.08±0.18 % and 27.37±0.43 %) respectively due to it being a less oxidised substrate. Swiss chard plants (Beta vulgaris) fertilised with anaerobically digested (AD) algae or sludge had a significantly higher mean biweekly yield (5.08±0.73 kg/m2) when compared to the inorganic-fertiliser control (3.45±0.89 kg/m2; p<0.0001). No difference was observed in the soil’s physical fertility when algae or sludge were applied to the soil (p>0.05). The HRAP produced more biomass (317.18±27.76 g/m3) than the AS (83.12±64.91 g/m3), which resulted in a significantly greater downstream production of biogas and fertiliser per volume of effluent treated. According to the LCA, this also resulted in the HRAP system having a higher terrestrial ecotoxicity, due to the greater volume of solids and thus heavy metals applied to the soil. This interpretation can be misleading, because the mass of heavy metals released into the environment is the same for both systems, with a greater portion being applied to the land in the HRAP scenario and discharged into fresh water in the case of AS. Future LCA models should clarify if these biomasses are going to be applied to a single piece of land or multiple sites as this will influence the risk of contamination via pollutant build up in the soil. The application of sludge or algae on soil increased the soil’s sodium concentration and sodium absorption ratio from 774.80±13.66 mg/kg to 952.17±34.89 mg/kg and 2.91±0.04 to 3.53±0.13, respectively. Regulations on the application of algae or sludge on agricultural soils should be altered to consider the limit values for sodium and future LCA’s associated with effluent treatment facilities should incorporate the possibility of soil contamination through sodium build-up. This work also conceptualised the importance of reporting water emissions in wastewater treatment LCA in as much detail as possible, because this had a significant influence on the eutrophication impacts on water systems. Reporting water emissions as total nitrogen underestimated downstream eutrophication impacts compared with those using nitrogen-species concentration (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate etc). A marine eutrophication sensitivity co-efficient should be included in future LCA models which accounts for the probability of nitrogen and phosphorus emissions entering the coastal environment as well as the vulnerability of the marine environment to eutrophication. Activated sludge systems are favourable for situations where space is limited, were there are inadequate options for biomass disposal (biomass not be used in agriculture or AD) and were electricity is generated from a renewable source; whereas, HRAP are more suitable under circumstances where electricity production relies on fossil fuel that carries a high environmental impact and where options are available to use the biomass for economic gain such as biogas and fertiliser production. This thesis contributes towards a zero-waste brewery effluent treated process. The HRAP and AS treated effluent for reuse in the brewery or in agricultural irrigation. The solids were anaerobically digested, and the carbon was recovered as a biogas, while the digestate was applied as an agricultural fertiliser. This allowed for the recovery of water, nutrients and carbon.

- Description: Mixed liquor includes consortia of microalgae and bacteria produced in high rate algal oxidation ponds (HRAOPs). The consortia of microalgae and bacteria occur as flocs called microalgae-bacterial flocs (MaB-flocs). This study aimed to source bacteria from MaB-flocs generated in HRAOPs and, after isolation and identification, evaluate their potential as plant growth promoting (PGP) microorganisms. Twelve bacterial strains namely ECCN 1b, ECCN 2b, ECCN 3b, ECCN 4b, ECCN 5b, ECCN 6b, ECCN 7b, ECCN 8b, ECCN 9b, ECCN 10b, ECCN 11b, and ECCN 12b were successfully isolated and their molecular identity established using amplified 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis that was compared to sequences deposited in the NCBI gene database. Blast analysis identified these isolates at the genus level as Bacillus strain ECCN 1b, Fictibacillus strain ECCN 2b, Bacillus strain ECCN 3b, Aeromonas strain ECCN 4b, Exiguobacterium strain ECCN 5b, Arthrobacter strain ECCN 6b, Enterobacter strain ECCN 7b, Exiguobacterium strain ECCN 8b, Microbacterium strain ECCN 9b, Pseudomonas ECCN strain 10b, Ancylobacter strain ECCN 11b and Microbacterium strain ECCN 12b. These isolates were able to grow in nutrient broth in a pH range between 6 and 10, with the best growth achieved at pH 8 to 9. The results on the use of carbon substrate revealed that 5 strains including Arthrobacter strain ECCN 6b, Aeromonas strain ECCN 4b, Pseudomonas strain ECCN 10b, Enterobacter strain ECCN 7b and Bacillus strain ECCN 3b were capable of using glucose, sucrose and mannitol. No faecal coliforms were found. However, of the 12 isolates screened for bio-fertilisation potential, Bacillus strain ECCN 1b, Fictibacillus strain ECCN 2b, Bacillus strain ECCN 3b, Aeromonas strain ECCN 4b, Exiguobacterium strain ECCN 5b, Arthrobacter strain ECCN 6b, Enterobacter ECCN strain 7b, Exiguobacterium strain ECCN 8b and Pseudomonas strain ECCN 10b showed multifunctional plant growth promoting (PGP) potential. The potential for PGP included the production of ammonium-N, solubilisation of phosphate-P and potassium-K, oxidation of Mn and production of auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Results are discussed in terms of the amount or concentration (mg L-1) of plant essential nutrient and growth regulator produced by these isolated bacteria. Even so, further studies are needed to test and confirm the bio-fertiliser and plant growth promoting activity of these strains in pot trials and field experiments, or both.
