摘要:
A method for bioconversion of methane-laden gas streams (e.g. natural gas, biogas or diluted methane emissions) into high added-value products such as ectoine and hydroxyectoine, in high-mass transfer bioreactors, such as a Taylor-flow bioreactor, as well as the use of said bioreactors for biological bioconversion processes wherein a microorganism is used for the production of osmolytes (e.g. ectoine, hydroxyectoine or any derivative thereof).

The present invention is directed to a vertical flow constructed wetland (VFCW) for the treatment of wastewater and sludge, particularly in small and medium communities, comprising an unsaturated zone at the surface of the ground and a drainage zone partially saturated at the bottom, with a low pressure forced aeration system in the unsaturated layer, and an internal recirculation means. The invention substantially reduces the surface occupied by the construction, and the energy consumption, and improves the nutrient removal of these type of constructed wetlands.

The object of the patent is a sustainable method and a system for cleaning impurities, mainly hydrogen sulphide, and upgrading of biogas having hydrogen sulphide concentration up to 2% (20,000 ppmv), preferably produced in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to biomethane, wherein the system comprises a counter-current, non-pressurized physical absorption bubble column having a high influent liquid-to-gas flow ratio L I /G higher than 1 and preferably equal or higher than 3 and equal or lower than 10, for achieving a simultaneous removal of hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide. The present system may be inserted for instance on an existing wastewater treatment plant, in such a way that the wash water is the primary treated wastewater of the plant, and preferably the biogas to be upgraded is produced in the anaerobic digesters of the plant itself, and also includes means for regenerating the used wash water by the biological reactor of the plant itself used for the secondary treatment.

The present invention relates to a one-stage device for treating wastewater, such as unsettled sewage, specially wastewater having sub-mesophilic temperatures and/or showing high fluctuations of temperatures over the year, the device being essentially made of a combination of a pulsating UASB reactor with a non-heated solids anaerobic digester located below the UASB reactor, comprising a baffle sloping partition element connecting both chambers; in such a way that the sludge produced during the process inside the UASB reactor is settled downwards to the digester, recycled and sent to the UASB reactor by a gas-lift pump that operates with the biogas generated in the anaerobic digester. The UASB reactor comprises a mixing and injecting device of wastewater that works by pulses, and that not only feeds and mixes the reactor, but it also mixes the sludge bed of the digester, in different operational modes. The invention also discloses the method for treating wastewater.

The invention relates to a method for starting up and controlling a biological autotrophic process for removing nitrogen contained in a wastewater stream at a temperature between 5 and 25°C and comprising an ammonium concentration equal to or below 110 mg N/L comprising the following stages, performed in separate units: (a) providing the wastewater stream to a partial nitritation reactor wherein a start-up of a partial nitritation takes place transforming the ammonium to nitrite in the presence of Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria and oxygen while Free Nitrous Acid (FNA) is accumulated until reaching a value equal to or higher than 0.02 mg N/L; and (b) a second stage wherein a controlled effluent leaving the partial nitritation reactor and containing an ammonium to nitrite ratio from 0.7 to 1.0 is fed into one anoxic reactor wherein an Anammox process takes place transforming the ammonium and nitrite to nitrogen gas by an anoxic reaction performed by autotrophic denitrifying bacteria.
