    Aerobic Selector: Energy Is Obtained From Oxidation of COD Using O

    Uploaded by

    Aslıhan Kaya
    A selector is defined as the initial zone of a biological reactor that receives influent and sludge return flows. It has a high substrate removal rate and subjects microorganisms to growth. Selectors allow microorganisms to store substrates internally and then go without external substrates to reestablish storage capacity, preventing bulking sludge. Selectors can be aerobic, anoxic, or anaerobic depending on how energy is obtained. Aerobic selectors rely on basin geometry while anoxic selectors reduce oxygen demand and buffer nitrification. Anaerobic selectors allow storage of polyphosphate and are the simplest but require licensing. Biological treatment systems use various equipment like pipes, aerators, pumps, bioreactors,

    SELECTORS

    A selector is defined as the initial part of a biological reactor,characterized by a low


    dispersion number and by an adequate macro-gradient of substrate concentration. It can also
    be a small separate initial zone of a biological reactor which receives the influent and sludge
    return flows and has a high readily biodegradable COD removal. In the selector the
    microorganisms are subjected to high growth rate environments and are able to accumulate
    substrate as internal storage products in their cells. A sufficiently long period without external
    substrate available should then exist to re-establish the storage capacity of the cells.
    Selectors were quickly installed in full-scale activated sludge systems and are still the most
    applied engineering tool world-wide for the prevention of bulking sludge phenomena. The
    selector could be aerobic, anoxic or anaerobic.
    Aerobic selector : Energy is obtained from Oxidation of COD using O2
    - Kinetic only
    Advantages
     Simple process, no additional internal recycle streams other than RAS
     Relies on basin geometry, not nitrification
    Disadvantages
     Does not reduce O2 requirements
     Requires more complex aeration system design to meet maximum O 2 uptake rate in
    the initial high F/M zone
     May require patent fee if operated within a certain range of DO conditions

    Anoxic selector : Energy is obtained from Oxidation of ammonia to NO3-


    - Kinetic + ability to denitrify
    Advantages
     Tends to buffer nitrification
     Lowers O2 demand in a nitrification process
     The initial high F/M region occurs in the anoxic zone with the high O 2 demand met by
    NO3- instead of O2
    Disadvantages
     Cannot be used with a process that does not nitrify
     Uses an additional recycle stream
     Requires care in design and operation to minimize the introduction of O 2 in the
    anoxic zone. Poor system design could induce low DO bulking.
    Anaerobic selector : Energy is obtained from Hydrolysis of stored poly-P to PO43-
    - Kinetic+ ability to store polyphosphate
    Advantages
     Simple design, no internal recycle other than RAS
     The simplest of selector systems to operate
     Can be used for biological phosphorus removal
    Disadvantages
     A patented process and require a licensing fee
     Does not reduce O2 requirements
     May not be compatible with long SRTs
     Requires care in design and operation to minimize the introduction of NO 3- and O2 in
    the anaerobic zone. Poor system design could induce low DO bulking
