Effect of Adding Drinking Water Treatment Sludge on Excess Activated Sludge Digestion Process
Drinking water treatment sludge (DWTS) is a waste by-product from water treatment plants where aluminum and iron salts are the most commonly used coagulants. DWTS was reused to investigate the effects of DWTS on the digestion liquid quality and microorganism activity of excess activated sludge (EAS). DWTS with four suspended solid (SS) concentrations (0%, 2%, 5% and 10%) was added to EAS which was sampled during aerobic and anaerobic digestion processes, then batch tests were carried out which followed the coagulation-flocculation process. It was found that DWTS can improve total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and dissolved phosphorus (DP) removal efficiencies for anaerobic EAS. The highest removal efficiency of TDN (29.97%) as well as DP (55.38%) was observed when DWTS dosage was SS = 10%. The release of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by DWTS could increase dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration and lead to the accumulation of non-biodegradable humic acid-like substance in aerobic and anaerobic digestion liquid. The dehydrogenase activity (DHA) values of anaerobic EAS were higher than aerobic EAS. DWTS could reduce DHA for both EAS. These results indicate that potential risk of release of DOM should be considered when reusing DWTS in future research.
