    Abstract: Here, we evaluated the effect of culture depth on the growth and nutrient removal rate of Scenedesmus sp. grown in anaerobically digested abattoir effluent (ADAE) and cultivated semi-continuously in raceway ponds at depths of 14 cm, 17 cm, 20 cm, and 23 ... ...

    Abstract Here, we evaluated the effect of culture depth on the growth and nutrient removal rate of Scenedesmus sp. grown in anaerobically digested abattoir effluent (ADAE) and cultivated semi-continuously in raceway ponds at depths of 14 cm, 17 cm, 20 cm, and 23 cm during Austral winter and summer. Culture medium pH was kept constant at pH 6.5 for all treatments throughout the experimental period using a pH–stat system. Algal cultures grown in summer had 2.3- 2.7 times higher biomass productivity than the same grown in winter. In both seasons, maximum volumetric productivity of this alga was achieved at 14 cm depth (14 cm depth⩾ 17 cm depth⩾ 20 cm depth⩾ 23 cm depth). However, areal biomass productivity of culture grown at 23 cm depth was 12% and 29% higher than that of culture grown at 14 cm depth in winter and summer, respectively. In addition, nitrogen, phosphorus and COD areal removal rates were significantly higher in cultures operated at 23 cm among all treatments in both seasons. The effective quantum yield (Fq'/Fₘ') in summer was 23 cm depth = 20 cm depth > 17 cm depth = 14 cm depth while it followed 14 cm depth⩾ 17 cm depth⩾ 20 cm depth⩾ 23 cm depth in winter, indicating significance of operational conditions on algal photosynthesis. The outcome of this study shows that, irrespective of the season, operating the culture in higher depths significantly increased areal biomass productivity as well as areal nutrient removal rates when treating ADAE.

    Abstract Microalgae dewatering is a major bottleneck for biomass production in a large-scale microalgal production system which accounts for 20–60% of production cost. In this study, three dewatering systems of electrocoagulation, flocculation, and pH-induced flocculation were evaluated for microalgal consortium grown in anaerobically digested abattoir effluent at pH 6.5 and 9.5. At the shortest time (15 min) and the highest current density (0.08 A cm⁻²), the highest microalgae recoveries of 78 and 84% were obtained with the corresponding power consumptions of 1.25 and 1.07 kWh kg⁻¹ for cultures at pH 6.5 and 9.5. For microalgae suspension at pH 6.5, the highest biomass recovery of 77% was obtained when 100 mg L⁻¹ of FeCl₃·6H₂O (after 15 min) or 100 mg L⁻¹ of Al₂(SO₄)₃·18H₂O (after 30 min) was added. However, microalgal recoveries significantly increased when FeCl₃·6H₂O or Al₂(SO₄)₃·18H₂O was used with the culture at pH 9.5. pH-Induced experiments showed that cultures adjusted at pH 10.5 had 36% higher biomass recovery compared to that in cultures at pH 8.5 after 2 h. The results of this study showed that cultures at higher pH (9.5) had a better microalgae recovery in all dewatering systems than cultures at lower pH (6.5).

    Abstract Sufficient and reliable long-term field data on the growth, productivity and nutrient removal rates of microalgal based wastewater treatment system is essential to validate its overall techno-economic feasibility. Here, we investigated the semi-continuous microalgal cultivation of Scenedesmus sp. in anaerobically digested abattoir effluent (ADAE) for 13 months in outdoor raceway ponds operated at 20 cm depth. This study was initiated with three different cultures consisting of 1) monocultures of Chlorella sp., 2) Scenedesmus sp., and 3) an equal mixed concentration of both microalgae species. However, after 15 weeks, Scenedesmus sp. was found to be the most dominant microalgae species in all the different cultures, even completely taking over the Chlorella sp. monoculture. Over the course of summer and early autumn, the average weekly biomass productivity of Scenedesmus sp. cultures was 12.5 ± 0.6 g m

However, after 15 weeks, Scenedesmus sp. was found to be the most dominant microalgae species in all the different cultures, even completely taking over the Chlorella sp. monoculture. Over the course of summer and early autumn, the average weekly biomass productivity of Scenedesmus sp. cultures was 12.5 ± 0.6 g m⁻² d⁻¹ which was 16% and 30% higher than productivities recorded in spring and winter, respectively. All available ammoniacal nitrogen (NH₃–N) was found to be exhausted during each growth period with an average 33.6% nitrogen assimilation rate. The average rate of phosphate and COD (chemical oxygen demand) removals were 85.2% and 37.5% throughout the cultivation period. No significant differences were found in carbohydrate, lipid and protein content of Scenedesmus sp. during different seasons of the year. Over 53% increase in biomass productivity can be achieved if CO₂ is added to control culture pH at pH 6.5. Here, we successfully demonstrated reliability of continuous long-term cultivation of microalgae in ADAE for simultaneous wastewater treatment and algal biomass production.

    Abstract This study investigated the outdoor cultivation of two local microalgae species (Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp.) in raw anaerobically digested abattoir effluent (ADAE) which were subjected to both continuous (24 h) and daytime only (12 h) paddle wheel mixing. The goal of this study was to identify the most efficient microalgae species and mixing condition for raw ADAE bioremediation. No differences in Chlorella sp. biomass productivity were recorded for both mixing conditions while values were higher (14%) for 24 h mixed Scenedesmus sp. Despite the exhaustion of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH₃-N) in all treatments, only between 14 and 28% of NH₃-N was assimilated for biomass production. Microalgae growth in ADAE significantly reduced the total aerobic bacteria population and eliminated Escherichia coli content in ADAE for all treatments. Overall, Scenedesmus sp. demonstrated higher biomass productivity and nutrient removal efficiency in ADAE when compared to Chlorella sp., with the continuously (24 h) mixed cultures being most efficient.

    Abstract Untreated as well as partially treated anaerobic digestate abattoir effluent (ADAE) were used for the cultivation of Arthrospira platensis in this study. The effect of CO₂ addition on the biomass productivity, nutrient removal efficiency and biochemical composition were also investigated. Arthrospira platensis exhibited significant improved growth in raw ADAE when alkalinity of the medium was adjusted to 6.3 g L⁻¹ using NaHCO₃. Addition of CO₂ resulted in 20% increase in biomass productivity and higher ammoniacal nitrogen removal rate (99.0%) when compared to the cultures with no CO₂ supplementation. No significant differences were found in protein (50.2%) and phycocyanin (12.0%) content of A. platensis cultivated in raw ADAE supplemented with HCO₃⁻ and that grown in synthetic Zarrouk medium. This study demonstrated that raw ADAE can be successfully used as culture media for A. platensis when its alkalinity is adjusted using bicarbonate. Such an approach would reduce the need of freshwater and external synthetic nutrients for A. platensis cultivation if the aim is to produce reclaimable water as well as biomass rich in protein content and phycocyanin for potential use as an animal and aquaculture feed.

    Abstract Microalgae offer a cost-effective option for wastewater treatment due to their natural ability to uptake and assimilate various forms of nutrients for the production of valuable biomass. Here, we assessed the potential of Scenedesmus sp. culture for treating anaerobically digested abattoir effluent (ADAE). Scenedesmus sp. was cultured at different pH (5.5, 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5) regulated by the addition of CO₂ (pH-stat systems) under outdoor climatic conditions in paddle wheel driven raceway ponds. pCO₂ was highest in cultures operated at pH 5.5 followed by 6.5, 7.5, 8.5 and uncontrolled pH. The highest biomass productivity was obtained for the Scenedesmus culture grown at pH 6.5 (19.24 g m⁻²d⁻¹) which was 2.1 times greater than uncontrolled pH culture (9.13 g m⁻²d⁻¹). In general, the growth was pH 6.5 > pH 7.5 = pH 8.5 > uncontrolled pH > pH 5.5. The percentage of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH₃−N) fixed into biomass was highest (about 86%) for the cultures at pH 6.5. In overall, percentage of NH₃-N assimilation was pH 6.5 > pH 7.5 > pH 8.5 > uncontrolled pH > pH 5.5. More than 83% of phosphorus was assimilated into algal biomass when Scenedesmus was grown at pH 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5. These results clearly showed that the addition of CO₂ (keeping pH at 6.5) did not only remarkably increased biomass productivity of microalgae grown in ADAE but also significantly increased the removal of nutrients from the wastewater.
