In this diploma thesis, the influence of chemical composition of fugate, pH value, temperature and other factors on representation of final products of nitrification during biological pretreatment of fugate produced in agricultural biogas stations was evaluated.
During the experiment, fugate from biogas station Nový Dvůr with N-amon concentration in the range of 1300 - 3200 mg/l at input was processed. Results from the time period beginning on 21. September 2015 and ending on 22. December 2015 (day 0 - 93) were assessed. Nitrification reactor of five liter operational volume was placed in a laboratory at temperatures ranging from 20.4 to 25.2 degrees Celsius. During the experiment, volumetric loading of N-amon reactor ranged from 0,18 to 0,44 kg/(m3.d) and efficiency of N-amon removal from 68,6 to 96,9 percent. Hydraulic period of water delay was being decreased from 12,3 days to approximately 4,2 days during the experiment. pH value was regulated by NaOH to be approximately 7.
The experiment proved that it was possible to attain the process of nitrification in the aggressive medium of fugate. It was ascertained that pH value, which determined current concentration of Free Nitrous Acid (FNA), had significant influence on representation of final products of nitrification. Concentrations of N-NO2 in the reflux from the reactor were being increased from 130 up to 1840 mg/l during the process on the grounds of pH value fluctuations and increasing FNA concentration which inhibited activity of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB). The representation of N-NO2 from day 0 to day 93 of the experiment gradually increased from 19 percent up to 95 percent. Concentrations of N-NO3 from day 0 to day 3 increased from 570 to 1056 mg/l and conversely from day 3 to day 93 they gradually decreased from 570 mg/l to approximately 100 mg/l. Representation of N-NO3 decreased from 80 percent to 5 percent from day 0 to day 93 and it was not possible to retain them as dominant products of nitrification on the ground of sensitivity of NOB.
