This study investigated the primary treatment of municipal wastewater using rotating belt filtration followed by hydrolysis and acidogenic fermentation of the filter primary sludge (FPS) at ambient temperature for one year. The seasonal variations of VFAs, nutrient release, and soluble COD production, as well as microbial community assembly, were assessed, leading to novel findings for fermentation at ambient temperature.
Primary treatment of municipal wastewater by rotating belt filtration followed by hydrolysis and acidogenic fermentation of the filter primary sludge (FPS) at ambient temperature was studied at pilot-scale during one year. The seasonal variations of volatile fatty acids (VFAs), nutrient release and soluble COD production as well as microbial community assembly were assessed, leading to novel findings for fermentation at ambient temperature. The reproducibility of VFA production performance was first established by operating the two fermentation reactors under the same conditions, showing similar results regarding VFA production and microbial community structure. One year of operation at 5 d retention time (RT) and 16-29 degrees C resulted in an average VFA yield of 180 +/- 35 mg COD/g VSin and soluble COD yield of 242 +/- 40 mg COD/g VSin. The VFA formation was temperature-dependent, with theta=1.033 +/- 0.005 (r = r(20)(center dot)Theta((T-20 degrees C))). The seasonal variations of the acetic and propionic acid productions were pronounced, whereas the productions of VFAs with longer chains were more stable regardless of temperature. The community structure of the reactor microbiomes was also clearly affected by season and temperature and linked with the production spectrum of VFAs. The ammonium and phosphate releases were stable during the year, leading to a decrease in ratios of soluble COD to NH4+-N and PO43--P during winter. The soluble COD yield was 11% and 27% higher at 5 d RT compared to 3 and 2 d RT respectively, but the corresponding volumetric productivities were lower. The dissimilarities between microbiomes in influent FPS and fermenters were significant even at a short RT of 2 d, and increased with longer RT of 3 and 5 d, primarily caused by selection of bacteria within Bacteroidota in the fermentation reactors.
