N2  - In this research, feasibility of using a continuous flow integrated suspended growth bioreactor (i-SGBR) pilot plant was explored to treat beverage industry wastewater. The bioreactor treatment units comprise of three sequentially arranged suspended growth bioreactors with anoxic (ANX-C), aerobic (AER-C), and aerobic digester chambers (AD-C). Clarifier (CLR) was installed as last chamber to settle sludge. Parameters such as total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) were monitored and validated with biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5). Other parameters measured include soluble COD (sCOD), mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS), mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS), total suspended solids (TSS), and pH. Transformational behavior of aerobic metabolic performance for extended aeration process was investigated by operating regimes of variable aerobic hydraulic retention time (HRT) and organic loading rate (OLR) between 20 and 30 h and 0.49â??0.79 kg COD/m3 day, respectively. Solids retention time (SRT) between 20 and 40 days was operated. The aim was to generate data for bacterial growth and substrate utilization kinetics from modified Monodâ??s model. Removal of TCOD, BOD5, and TSS were achieved in the range of 95.2â??97.9 (Influent 995 ± 21â??1028 ± 25 mg/L and Effluent 21 ± 2â??4.9 ± 3 mg/L), 98â??98.7 (Influent 489 ± 19â??507 ± 7 mg/L and Effluent 27 ± 2â??41 ± 1.8 mg/L), and 91.2â??94.6 (Influent 500 ± 23â??653 ± 11 mg/L and Effluent 6.3 ± 7â??41 ± 1.8 mg/L), respectively. The maximum substrate utilization rate (k), half velocity constant (Ks), growth yield co-efficient (Y), and decay coefficients (kd) were determined as 2.81 daysâ??1, 979 mg sCOD/L, 0.72 mg VSS/mg sCOD, and â?? 0.0172 dayâ??1, respectively. Maximum specific growth rate (μmax) was found as 2.03 daysâ??1. Treatment efficiencies declined with reduction of HRT and with increased OLR applied to the bioreactor. The aerobic digester (AD) achieved between 9.8 (Influent 15,021 mg/L) and 18.6 (10,893 mg/L) MLVSS reduction, where performance decreased with additional solids concentration from influent aerobic digester (IAD). i-SGBR has accomplished effective removal of pollutants and simultaneous sludge degradation of beverage industry wastewater. Kinetic parameters obtained could be useful for design and modeling of aerobic treatment unit to improve effluent quality. © 2018, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
