The microbiology of a jet loop activated sludge reactor treating brewery wastewater has been investigated, with a venturi system combining liquid pumping with air diffusion being the basic feature of the system. The high F/M ratio, the high growth rate of the bacteria and the high levels of turbulence registered in the jet loop reactor caused the disappearence of filamentous bacteria and the production of a cloudy effluent. The population in the reactor was mainly formed by aerobic bacteria all belonging to the Pseudomonas species. Facultative anaerobes were present in small numbers, namely Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumonia ssp. pneumo., Vibrio fluvialis and Aeromonas hydrophila, Very high levels of respirometric activities were recorded for the mixed liquor of the reactor. The respirometric activities of individual isolates were also found to be remarkably high, especially when treating brewery wastewater. The magnitudes of their activities were a function of their relative abundance within the reactor. Copyright (C) 1996 IAWQ.

Investigation of the use of aerobic granules for the treatment of sugar beet processing wastewater KOCATURK, İREM; Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande (2015-10-18) The treatment of sugar beet processing wastewater in aerobic granular sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was examined in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and nitrogen removal efficiency. The effect of sugar beet processing wastewater of high solid content, namely 2255 +/- 250mg/L total suspended solids (TSS), on granular sludge was also investigated. Aerobic granular SBR initially operated with the effluent of anaerobic digester treating sugar beet processing wastewater (Part I) achieved average removal ef...
Investigation of activated sludge bioflocculation : influence of magnesium ions Turtin, İpek; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2005) Activated sludge systems are the most widely used biological wastewater treatment processes all over the world. The main working principles of an activated sludge system are the oxidation of biologically degradable wastes by microorganisms and the subsequent separation of the newly formed biomass from the treated effluent. Separation by settling is the most troublesome stage of an activated sludge process. A decrease in the efficiency of the separation of microbial biomass from the treated effluent causes a...
Investigation of digester f/m ratio as a parameter to affect sludge minimization and gas production of ultrasonically treated sludge Köksoy, Gözde Tuğba; Sanin, Faika Dilek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2009) Ultrasonic sludge disintegration –the most commonly used mechanical pretreatment method- enables the occurrence of cavitation bubbles to extract intracellular material from the cell into aqueous phase. However, there is a lack of information on the volatile solids loading on the anaerobic digestion process performance of ultrasonically treated sludge. In this thesis work, the effect of sonication on disintegration of waste activated sludge (WAS) and an important parameter digester F/M (food to microorganism...
Investigation of temperature profile in high temperature PEM fuel cell Çağlayan, Dilara Gülçin; Eroğlu, İnci; Devrim, Yılser; Department of Chemical Engineering (2016) High temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFC) are promising alternative energy sources for the future. As an advantageous tool in the design of a system, modeling requires less time compared to the experiments as well as its low cost. This study includes both isothermal and non-isothermal three-dimensional mathematical models for a HT-PEMFC having an active area of 25 cm2. Governing equations are solved by using Comsol Multiphysics 5.0 “Batteries & Fuel Cells” module, which is a commer...
Investigation of methane production potential of industrial sludges mixed with domestic sludge during anaerobic digestion Aksu Bahçeci, Hazal; Sanin, F. Dilek.; Department of Environmental Engineering (2019) Anaerobic digestion has been established as a sludge stabilization and biogas production method for domestic sludge. However, anaerobic digestion has limited success in industrial sludge applications. In this thesis sludge from two different Organized Industrial Districts (OIDs) and textile industry are mixed with urban wastewater sludge with and without ultrasound pretreatment to investigate their energy production potential by using BMP tests. Sludges were digested alone (A for industrial, D for domestic ...
