Performance evaluation of a solar-powered wastewater treatment plant (two-stage SBR) operated in tropical climate regions
ABSTRACT This article investigates the performance behaviour of a small decentralized wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of up to 50 population equivalents powered by solar energy. The two-stage sequencing batch reactor (SBR) consists of a photovoltaic (PV) system to deliver energy, a battery storage for night operation and two reactor tanks. In the experimental period of 157 days, the wastewater inflow was increased from 3 to 4.5 and 6 m3.d−1, with sludge ages of 32 ± 2 d in the beginning and 21 ± 2 d in the end. The results corresponding to the different phases indicated high efficiency and stability of the system with domestic wastewater, reaching efficiencies of the test periods of 93 ± 2%, 86 ± 4% and 93 ± 6% for removal of chemical oxygen demand, nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively. In the last 51 days, aeration in the night was interrupted for three hours to save energy and study the behaviour of extended non-aerated phases. A shortening of the aeration phases can help to extend the lifetime of batteries and reduce operational costs, while limiting values in the outlet are still met.
