Abstract: The present invention describes a method of optimizing CO2 concentration to increase the specific growth rate of Anammox bacteria and methanogens in wastewater and sludge treatment, as well as novel systems and methods of treating wastewater and sludge. The specific growth rate or doubling time of the Anammox bacteria and methanogens were determined to be sensitive to dissolved CO2 concentration. Optimizing dissolved CO2 concentration increases the specific growth rate of the Anammox bacteria, which may be used as an alternative biological nitrogen removal process for the treatment of domestic wastewater. In the method and system of treating sludge, the CO2 stripper returns biogas with low CO2 concentration to the headspace of an anaerobic digester in order to lower the headspace CO2 concentration and therefore, the soluble CO2 concentration. The lower soluble CO2 concentration increases the specific growth rate of the methanogens for a more efficient anaerobic digestion process.

Abstract translation: 本发明描述了一种优化CO2浓度以提高废水和污泥处理中厌氧菌和产甲烷菌的比生长速率的方法，以及处理废水和污泥的新系统和方法。 确定了厌氧菌和产甲烷菌的比生长速度或加倍时间对溶解的CO2浓度敏感。 优化溶解的CO 2浓度增加了Anammox细菌的比生长速率，其可用作用于处理生活废水的替代生物除氮方法。 在处理污泥的方法和系统中，二氧化碳汽提器将低CO 2浓度的沼气返回到厌氧消化器的顶部空间，以降低顶空CO2浓度，从而降低可溶性CO 2浓度。 较低的可溶性CO 2浓度提高了产甲烷菌的比生长速率，以实现更有效的厌氧消化过程。
