Hydrodynamic behavior of a lab-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASB) operated with an adopted hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 12 hours

Abstract: The present research was carried out in the Laboratory of Water Analysis at the Engineering Department at Federal University of Lavras (LWAED-UFLA), in order to evaluate the hydrodynamic behavior of a lab-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASB) that was continuously fed with liquid effluent from swine manure with solid separation over 2mm. The hydrodynamic parameters were determined by a tracer study, under hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 12 hours, using Lithium Chloride (LiCl) as a tracer. The … Show more

“…Long tailing phenomenon was also verified by Bernardez, Lima, and Almeida (2008) operating a cylindrical reactor filled with glass pearls; Capela et al (2009) treating effluents of gas condenser without immobilized biomass; Lourenço and Campos (2009) evaluating a UASB reactor fed with wastewater of swine confinement; Méndez-Romero et al (2011) operating an upflow anaerobic fixed bed reactor, immobilized with volcanic stones; Ji, Zheng, Xing, and Zheng (2012) investigating a compartmentalized reactor in hydrodynamic assays using hydrochloric acid, lithium, lithium chloride and rhodamine B as tracers, respectively. Different response curves for the different tracers used are noticed in Figure 2, even with the reactor operated in similar operational conditions.…”

“…This selection was made because it is a highly water-soluble salt, shows good diffusibility and can be detected in low concentrations; it is rare in nature and widely used for this purpose. Some authors have used the lithium chloride tracer in response to stimulus tests for determining the distribution curves of hydraulic residence time of bioreactors in wastewater treatment (Peña;Mara;Vella, 2006;Lourenço;Campos, 2009;Sarathai;Koottatep;Morel, 2010;Rincón;Galindo;Pérez, 2011;Zheng et al, 2012).…”

“…Nesse contexto, nas CGs convencionais, a remoção de O&G ocorre por processos de flotação gravitacional, porém os processos por flotação forçada (auxiliada por ar difuso) vêm ganhando fundamental importância (PALMEIRA et al, 2009) (LEVENSPIEL, 2000;CAPELA et al, 2009;LOURENÇO & CAMPOS, 2009).…”

“…A avaliação da curva DTR gerada pela concentração de saída em função do tempo monitorado permite simular ou predeterminar resultados por meio de modelos de escoamento ideal do fluido (pistonado e mistura completa), pois configuram uma ampla faixa, dentro da qual as unidades reais se enquadram (CAPELA et al, 2009;LOURENÇO & CAMPOS, 2009). Porém, na prática, o escoamento segue modelos que consideram a dispersão das partículas do fluido, ou seja, modelos intermediários entre os dois extremos citados, como os modelos de dispersão e o modelo de células agitadas em série (PAOLI & VON SPERLING, 2013).…”
