The objective of this study was to evaluate the lifecycle impacts anaerobic primary treatment domestic wastewater using baffled reactors (ABRs) coupled with aerobic secondary relative conventional and sludge/biosolids systems through application modeling three lifecycle-based analyses: environmental assessment, net energy balance, costing. Data from two pilot-scale ABRs operated under ambient temperatures were used model process. To address uncertain parameters in scale-up reactor data,...
Modeled electrical energy generation from anaerobic primary treatment of domestic wastewater with baffled bioreactors. Energy methane production exceeded use by conventional activated sludge in some scenarios.
Abstract A transition from inefficient aerobic wastewater treatment methods to sustainable approaches is needed. Anaerobic bioreactors are a viable solution as they consume less energy, reduce biosolid production, and provide source of renewable methane‐rich biogas. barrier widespread implementation anaerobic technologies the lack design guidance, especially in colder climates. This study bridges this knowledge gap by deriving principles three long‐running pilot‐scale baffled reactors (ABRs)...
Anaerobic bioreactors treating wastewater have lower operating costs and waste sludge generation produce more energy-rich methane than traditional aerobic systems. The ability to simulate performance of anaerobic mainstream treatment will enable comparison the existing paradigm. Required modifications were determined for a computer simulation tool, BioWin, predict multi-compartment baffled reactor system. model was calibrated using one month data validated two years pooled into three...
