The aim of the present study was to determine: the impact of electric current density on the quantity and quality of sewage sludge produced in anaerobic sequencing bio-electrochemical reactor (AnSBBER) with an iron electrode during the treatment of drainage from soilless cultivation of tomatoes. Direct electric current (DC) effect was determined at its following densities (J): 0.63 A/m2 (R1), 1.25 A/m2 (R2), 2.5 A/m2 (R3), and 5 A/m2 (R4). Sodium acetate in (C:N) ratio of 1.0 was supplied to the reactors to ensure the proper biofilm development. Contents of elements (K, P, S, Na, Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn, Mg, C, N and Ca) in the biofilm were determined. Additionally, the content of total suspended solids and the percentage share of volatile suspensions (VSS) in the sludge were determined. The study showed that the organic matter content in the sludge corresponded to the values typical of the stabilized sludge (up to 28.8% d.m. in R2).The increase in electric current density caused an increase in the concentration of phosphorus in the formed sludge (from 6.34 to 8.00% d.m. in 0.63 and 5.00 A/m2, respectively). The analyzed sludge, compared to municipal sludge from wastewater treatment plants with biological reactors and activated sludge chambers, is richer in such elements as phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and iron.

This study aimed to evaluate the operation technology and functioning of the facilities for the treatment of municipal sewage in a small wastewater treatment plant operating based on the trickling biofilters technology, in the winter (February) and summer (June-July) periods. Additional analyses were conducted to determine the effectiveness of contaminants removal in particular facilities of the technological system tested. The study results indicate that the sewage treatment plant operating based on the trickling biofilters technology ensures effective removal of organic compounds, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total suspended solids. In the summer period, the effectiveness of contaminants removal reached 92%, 52.9%, 97.9%, and 99.9%, respectively, whereas in the winter season, it was lower an reached 69.5%, 12.4, 93.0, and 95.0%, respectively. The treatment effectiveness achieved in this study was referred to the results of the investigations conducted in the same sewage treatment plant 24 years ago. The results obtained may provide a valuable guideline to designers and operators of small sewage treatment plants.

This study aimed to determine the influence of the electric current density on the rate of nitrogen compounds removal (rN) and the specific rate of denitrification (rD) in a rotating electrochemical disk contractor (RECDC) and a rotating electro-biological disk contactor (REBDC). In REBDC and RECDC, the cathode consisted of disks with immobilized biomass and disk, from which biofilm was periodically removed, respectively. An aluminum anode was mounted in contactor chambers. The study was conducted using synthetic wastewater with characteristics similar to wastewater from soilless cultivation of tomatoes. The first stage of the study determined rN and rD in the RECDC. The second stage determined rN and rD in the REBDC. Four hydraulic retention times (HRT) were tested: 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, and 24 h, with electric current densities of 0.63 A/m2, 1.25 A/m2, 2.50 A/m2, 5.00 A/m2, and 10.00 A/m2. In RECDC, a linear dependency was observed between rN and current density in the examined HRTs, whereas in REBDC, a logarithmic dependency was confirmed between rN and current density. In both contactors, an exponential dependency was observed between rD and current density. The specific rate of denitrification decreased when the current density and HRT were increased. The study showed that, in both contactors, the rate of total nitrogen removal increased when the current density was increased and the HRT was decreased.

Celem pracy było określenie wpływu gęstości prądu na szybkość usuwania związków azotu (rN) i na specyficzną szybkość procesu denitryfikacji (rD) w elektrochemicznym tarczowym złożu obrotowym (RECDC) i elektrobiologicznym tarczowym złożu obrotowym (REBDC). W elektrochemicznym tarczowym złożu obrotowym (RECDC) i elektrobiologicznym tarczowym złożu obrotowym (REBDC) katodę stanowiły odpowiednio tarcze pokryte błoną biologiczną i tarcze z których okresowo usuwano błonę biologiczną. Aluminowa anoda była umieszczona w zbiornikach złoża. Badania przeprowadzono na ściekach o wskaźnikach fizykochemicznych podobnych do ścieków z bezglebowej uprawy pomidorów. W pierwszym etapie badań określono wartości rN and rD w RECDC podczas gdy w drugim w REBDC. Zastosowano cztery wartości hydraulicznego czasu zatrzymania (HRT): 4 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 h dla następujących gęstości prądu: 0.63 A/m2, 1.25 A/m2, 2.50 A/m2, 5.00 A/m2 and 10.00 A/m2. W elektrochemicznym złożu zaobserwowano liniową zależność pomiędzy rN i gęstością prądu, podczas gdy w złożu elektrobiologicznym zależność logarytmiczną. Dla obu złóż stwierdzono wykładniczą zależność pomiędzy rD i gęstością prądu. Specyficzną szybkość procesu denitryfikacji malała wraz ze wzrostem gęstości prądu i HRT. Badania pokazały, że w obu złożach, elektrochemicznym i elektrobiologicznym szybkość usuwania związków azotu obniżała się wraz ze wzrostem gęstości prądu i obniżaniem HRT.
