This study introduces anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) to enhance methane production in swine wastewater treatment, and cultivates microalgae on the digestate for nutrient recovery and lipid production. Results show effective removal of pollutants under different hydraulic retention time (HRT) conditions. Microalgae cultivation leads to successful removal of ammonia and phosphate in the digestate. The integration of AnDMBR technology with microalgae cultivation provides a promising pathway for pollutants control and energy production from swine wastewater.
Enhanced methane production and sustainable reduction of pollutants from anaerobic digestate are crucial for swine wastewater treatment. In this study, anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) was introduced to enhance methane production, then microalgae were cultivated on the digestate for nutrients recovery and lipid production. Results showed that pollutants can be effectively removed under various hydraulic retention time (HRT) conditions during long-term operation. Methanogenesis was enhanced with the reduction of HRT from 20 days to 10 days (0.23 L-CH4/g-CODremoved), but inhibited by shortening HRT to 5 days (0.09 L-CH4/gCOD(removed)). Ammonia and phosphate in the digestate were effectively removed after microalgae cultivation. In addition, the highest microalgal biomass and lipid productivity (1.7 g/L and 17.5 mg/(L center dot d), respectively) were obtained using digestate ratio of 20 %, while microalgal growth was seriously restricted at high digestate content (>50 %). This work provides a prospective pathway for pollutants control and energy production from swine wastewater through integrating of AnDMBR technology with microalgae cultivation.
