Abstract

Pollutants removal from swine wastewater by a submerged biofilm sequencing batch reactor (BSBR) with internal circulation of liquor through a sand filter was studied. The variation of nutrient removal efficiencies with changes in volumetric circulation ratios and rates were determined. The reactor was operated under the following conditions: One cycle per day, hydraulic retention time of 15 days, average NH4–N loading rate of 55 g m−3 d−1 , and without supplemental external carbon source. System performance was enhanced by conducting internal circulation of liquor through the sand filter. When compared with the performance of a single BSBR without sand filter, nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies were found to increase by 18% and over 33%, respectively. With a circulation rate of 170 L h−1 m−3 , and duration of 22 h (circulation ratio of 0.9), TOC, NH4–N , and total soluble inorganic nitrogen (as NH4–N plus NOx–N ) removal efficiencies of 73, 97.8, and 85.6%, respectively, were achieved. The enhancement of nitrogen removal was attributed to the occurrence of denitrification in the sand filter during circulation of liquor. The denitrification rate was proportional to the volumetric circulation ratio per day, resulting in an average 15% NOx–N removal in the sand filter. Also, it was found that continuous circulation during the entire reaction phases could be one way to achieve better performance.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
