Abstract
AbstractSwine wastewater treatment is a complex challenge, due to the high organic matter (OM) and nitrogen (N) concentrations which require an efficient process. This study focused on evaluating two different support media for OM and N removal from an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor fed with swine wastewater. Maximum specific nitrification (MSNA) and denitrification (MSDA) activity test for both biofilm and suspended biomass were carried out using as supports: polyurethane foam (R1) and polyethylene rings (R2). The results showed that R2 system was more efficiently than R1, reaching OM removal of 77 ± 8% and N of 98 ± 4%, attributed to higher specific denitrifying activity recorded (5.3 ± 0.34 g NO3-N/g TVS∙h). Furthermore, 40 ± 5% of the initial N in the wastewater could have been transformed into molecular nitrogen through SND, of which only 10 ± 1% was volatilized. In this sense, MSDA tests indicated that suspended biomass was responsible for at least 70% of N removal and only 20% can be attributed to biofilm. SND could be confirmed with the analysis of microbial diversity, due to the presence of the genus Pseudomonas dominated the prokaryotic community of the system in 54.4%.
