1 ANAEROBIC BIOTRANSFORMATION & METHANE GENERATION POTENTIAL OF CHEESE WHEY IN BATCH AND UASB REACTORS by GÖKSEL N. DEMİRER
2 Why current trend in treatment of industrial and agro-industrial wastewaters towards ANAEROBIC BIOTECHNOLOGY? Development of advanced anaerobic reactor designs with effective biological solids retentions SRT values times longer than HRT significant decrease in required reactor volume significant decrease in capital costs Turkish German Symposium - Recent Advances in Wastewater Treatment switch from conventional aerobic to anaerobic treatment systems
3 CHEESE WHEY Protein and lactose rich byproduct of cheese industry Biodegradable (~ 99%) High organic content (up to 70g COD/L) Low alkalinity (50 meq/l or 2500 mg/l as CaCO 3 ) Be reprocessed into valuable products; As protein & lactose in dairy industry As animal feed
4 ANAEROBIC TREATMENT OF CHEESE WHEY Advantages * Not require any oxygen supplementation * Significant amount of energy generation (as in conventional aerobic biological treatment) (in the form of methane gas)
5 ANAEROBIC TREATMENT OF CHEESE WHEY Disadvantages Lack of alkalinity High COD concentration The tendency to acidify very rapidly The difficulty to obtain granulation The tendency to produce an excess of various exopolymeric materials Reduces sludge settleability (A cause of biomass washout)

7 Most of the studies on anaerobic treatment of cheese whey dealt with diluted (or deproteinated) whey. Anaerobic treatment of undiluted cheese whey stability problems (Kalyuzhnyi et al., 1997). Thus, requires long HRT values (5-20 days) This may reduce one of the major attractions of anaerobic systems in terms of lower HRT values and corresponding smaller reactor volumes and lower capital costs. Even though the superiority of two-stage anaerobic processes over conventional single-stage treatment was reported (Wiegant et al., 1986; Speece et al., 1997; Demirer and Speece, 1998; Demirer and Speece, 2000), a two-stage configuration was used for the anaerobic treatment of cheese whey only in one study up to date (Table 1).
8 OBJECTIVE * To determine the anaerobic treatability and methane generation potential of cheese whey in batch reactors, * To examine the nutrient and trace metal supplementation on the batch anaerobic treatment of cheese whey, * To determine high-rate anaerobic treatability of cheese whey in single- and two-stage UASB reactors.

10 2. BMP Experiments Turkish German Symposium - Recent Advances in Wastewater Treatment * to determine anaerobic biodegradability and biogas production of cheese whey studied. * to compare the supplementation of nutrient and trace metals on gas production. Procedure: - Addition of... * mixed anaerobic cultures (from Ankara WWTP - Anaerobic Sludge Digesters) * basal medium (only to the one of the two sets) * cheese whey...into the serum bottles (of 125 ml, with 50 ml liquid volume). - Purging the bottles with a gas mixture of CO 2 :N 2 (25:75) for 3-4 min. - Incubating the bottles in a temperature controlled room at 35±2 0 C. - Measuring the daily produced gas by a water displacement device.

14 3. UASB Experiments * to determine high-rate anaerobic treatability of cheese whey in singleand two-stage UASB reactors. * to investigate, significance of process staging, operational parameters such as HRT, influent COD concentration and loading rate. Feed Solution: cheese whey diluted by the ratio of 4/5 with the five times concentrated Basal Medium. (average COD: mg/l) Granular cultures: from UASB reactor of Tekel Pasabahce Liquor Factory in located Istanbul. Mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) : ±19974 mg/l Mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) : ±19715 mg/l

20 CONCLUSION * High rate anaerobic treatment of undiluted cheese whey in UASB reactors is a very efficient and cost-effective method. * Nutrient, trace metal and/or alkalinity supplementation is vital for the anaerobic treatment of cheese whey. * Anaerobic bioconversion of cheese whey yielded biogas, which has a high methane content (77 5 %). * The anaerobic methane generation from the cheese whey studied was found to be 424 ml CH 4 /g COD or 23.4 L CH 4 /L cheese whey.
21 Cont`d * Unlike most of the studies in the literature on the subject (Table 1), undiluted cheese whey could be treated anaerobically at relatively short HRT values ( days) without any significant stability problems. * HRT values as low as 2-3 days can be used for the anaerobic treatment of cheese whey, with a COD removal efficiency of % at influent COD concentration of mg/l. * A second-stage UASB achieved only slight additional COD removal efficiency of %. However, this efficiency could possibly be increased if longer HRT values were used and/or effluent recycle was applied.
