“…Further, Hosseinlou (2021) determined the appropriate design loading rates of this newly developed technology and successfully applied it for treating real dairy wastewater. The high performance of the system has also been confirmed for the treatment of real brewery industry effluent (Hosseinlou, 2022).…”

This study investigates the performance of a newly developed technology, known as simultaneous anaerobic oxidation/partial nitrification-denitrification (SAO/PND), for treating strong wastewater under laboratory conditions. Excellent results are achieved, with maximum chemical oxygen demand (COD) and nitrogen removal of 98% and 96%, respectively, when treating synthetic wastewater with influent 4120 mg/L COD and 210 mg/L NH 4 + -N. Appropriate living environment in this single-process technology favoured the co-existence of various bacterial communities, and removal mechanisms by these organisms are identified and confirmed. The results showed that the single-process SAO/PND technology required 95% and 90% less oxygen compared to conventional aerobic processes and combined systems, respectively. Furthermore, this newly developed technology produced 60% and 44% less sludge, respectively, in comparison with the mentioned conventional systems.This study shows that the single-process SAO/PND technology is a promising sustainable alternative to conventional systems, as it combines high efficiency and cost-effectiveness with simple operation and maintenance requirements.

BW is considered a highly pollutant due to the high levels of organic carbon and other pollutants [1]. Organic compounds in BW are mainly from sugar, soluble starch, ethanol, and volatile fatty acids, for example, and their removal is important for the prevention of the creation of anaerobic conditions in the receiving water bodies [46].…”

“…The BW can pollute the receiving water bodies because of the organic substances abundance, that need to be removed before discharge into the environment. There are some effective physical, chemical, biological, and advanced treatment methods for this removal [1]. However, waste management is usually a substantial cost factor, especially for micro-breweries, creating a need for innovative solutions [7].…”

This paper aims to assess the potential of basidiomycete fungi to mycoremediate brewery wastewater and generate a bioactive molecule (β-glucan) for industrial applications. MethodsSix basidiomycete fungi, Ganoderma applanatum, Ganoderma lipsiense, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pycnoporus sanguineus, Lentinula edodes, and Oudemansiela canarii were grown in submerged fermentation using brewery wastewater (BW). β-glucan production, biomass concentration, reducing sugar content, and pH were evaluated and the fungus with the highest β-glucan production was subjected to a kinetic study of β-glucan production. ResultsResults showed that BW has important nutrients for fungi growth and all species had high biomass production. The highest production of β-glucans was for G. lipsiense (23.87%) and its kinetic study showed the highest production of β-glucans at 14 days and the greatest increase in biomass at 21 days. There was a correlation between the production of β-glucans and the consumption of BW substrate and a decrease in chemical oxygen demand (81% at 21 days), nitrate (<3.00 mg L -1 ), total phosphorus (66.326 mg L -1 ), and total dissolved solids (634.1 mg L -1 ). ConclusionThis study highlighted a sustainable use of BW for its remediation besides fungal biomass production as a source of a high-value product for the biotechnology industry, opening prospects in the circular bioeconomy.
