Abstract

The aim of this project is to study effect of pig manure to efficiency of enhanced biological phosphorus removal.  The experiment was control alkalinity in wastewater. The sludge retention time (SRT) was 60 days. Ortho-P removal was 61.34%, 51.17% and 55.68% in Type 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The concentration of alkalinity was 492.05, 430.80 and 482.64 in Type 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The pH was 8. Which the addition of alkalinity from pig manure in Type 2-3 resulted in an average of 1.32 times higher than normal phosphorus released. The COD removal of all types were higher than 99%. On the other hand, TKN removal in type 1 and 3 were higher than 95%. However, TKN removal of type 2 was found to be the lowest (79.02%). The Low TKN removal in type 2 is suspected due to the low proportion of COD: TN (10.63: 1) which resulting insufficient amount of organic carbon to eliminate TKN. Therefore, using alkalinity from PM and NaHCO3 in Type 3 can eliminate COD, N and P in biological treatment systems. The result showed the possibility to occupy low cost source of alkalinity sources.
