In this study, a novel electrodialysis membrane bioreactor was used for EBPR sludge treatment for energy and phosphorus resource recovery simultaneously. After 30days stable voltage outputting, the maximum power density reached 0.32W/m. Over 90% of phosphorus in EBPR sludge was released while about 50% of phosphorus was concentrated to 4mmol/L as relatively pure phosphate solution. Nitrogen could be removed from EBPR sludge by desalination and denitrification processes. This study provides an optimized way treating sludge for energy production and in situ phosphorus recovery.

Background: Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) systems utilize phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs) to remove phosphorus from wastewater since excessive phosphorus in water bodies can lead to eutrophication. This study aimed to characterize a newly isolated PAO strain for its potential application in EBPR systems and to screen for additional biotechnological potential. Here, sequencing allowed for genomic analysis, identifying the genes and molecules involved, and exploring other potentials.

Simultaneous biological nutrient removal (SBNR) using an anaerobic-anoxic-oxic phase is the key feature of advanced wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Removing ammonia, total nitrogen, and phosphorus concurrently with organic matter and suspended solids from wastewater is essential to meeting stringent effluent discharge standards via SBNR in WWTPs. More insight into the mechanisms of SBNR, i.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on understanding the microdiversity of Polyphosphate Accumulating Organisms (PAOs) in side-stream enhanced biological phosphorus removal (S2EBPR) systems, which improve stability compared to traditional methods.
  • Researchers used an advanced technique called oligotyping analysis on 16S rRNA gene sequencing to identify subgenus-level PAO profiles in activated sludge from 12 different water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs).
  • The findings suggest that significant differences exist at the sub-genus level across different facilities and highlight the potential of oligotyping and network analysis for identifying links between PAO diversity and the performance of EBPR/S2EBPR systems.

Wastewater treatment innovation toward resource recovery facilities raises concerns about the adsorption and bio-degradation (A-B) process. This study integrated enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) into the A-stage for real domestic sewage treatment using the short sludge retention time (S-SRT) approach. The S-SRT approach resulted in outstanding phosphorus (over 90 %) and COD removal (approximately 88 %), increased sludge yield and organic matter content, and a 1.
