Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a promising alternative wastewater treatment to the conven- tional activated sludge system, allowing space and energy savings. This process is particularly suited for biological phosphorus removal, avoiding use of coagulant ...

• Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a promising alternative wastewater treatment to the conventional activated sludge system. As AGS has enhanced settling abilities and provides different redox conditions across the granules at the same time, the processes ...

Aerobic granular sludge is a biological wastewater treatment process in which a microbial community forms a granular biofilm. The role of Candidatus Accumulibacter in the production of a biofilm matrix composed of extracellular polymeric substances was stu ...

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a promising alternative wastewater treatment to the conventional activated sludge system. As AGS has enhanced settling abilities and provides different redox conditions across the granules at the same time, the processes based on AGS allow substantial space, energy and chemical products savings. A few wastewater treatment plants (mainly hybrid or pilot plants) are already using AGS. Nevertheless the performances of lab-scale reactors fed with simple synthetic wastewater are

Polyphosphate is the key biopolymer in wastewater treatment (WWT) processes applying enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) by polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAO). Alternating anaerobic (no oxygen and no nitrate) and aerobic phases is used to promote a net phosphorus removal from the wastewater as PAO are capable to take up and store phosphate as intracellular polyphosphate during the aerobic growth phase. In the anaerobic phase, PAO replenish their carbon and energy source in form of polyhydr

Complete genomes can be recovered from metagenomes by assembling and binning DNA sequences into metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs). Yet, the presence of microdiversity can hamper the assembly and binning processes, possibly yielding chimeric, highly fragm ...

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is an emerging technology offering an alternative wastewater treatment with a reduced footprint compared to conventional activated sludge systems. Basic understanding of AGS processes has mainly been obtained in laboratory-scale studies with simple synthetic wastewaters containing volatile fatty acids (VFA) as main carbon sources. Yet, the bacterial communities of AGS treating municipal wastewater have been much less investigated. Two approaches were applied here to assess the

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a promising alternative wastewater treatment to the conventional activated sludge system, allowing substantial space, energy and chemichal products savings. Basic understanding of this processes has mainly been obtained in laboratory-scale studies with soluble synthetic wastewaters. Yet, the aspect and performances of granular sludge grown in such model systems are very different from those obtained in reactor treating real wastewater. It is hypothetized that fermentable com

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is an emerging technology offering an alternative wastewater treatment with a reduced footprint compared to conventional activated sludge systems. Basic understanding of AGS has mainly been obtained in lab-scale reactors fed with simple synthetic wastewaters. Yet, the properties and performances of AGS cultivated in these model systems are different from those obtained in reactors treating real wastewater. The composition of the synthetic wastewater of an AGS reactor was progre

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) consists of a microbial consortium that has an important role in wastewater treatment. This study investigates AGS microorganisms cultivated in a laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactor. Metagenomic sequencing was conducted ...

During the past 20 years, aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has been extensively studied with the aim to develop an attractive alternative to conventional activated sludge for wastewater treatment. The phosphate-accumulating organism (PAO) Candidatus ‘Accumulibacter phosphatis’ is often found with significant abundance in AGS as well as in other enhanced biological phosporus removal (EPBR) systems. Although they have never been isolated in pure culture, members of this bacterial genus appear to be genetically a

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a promising alternative wastewater treatment to the conventional activated sludge system allowing space and energy saving. Basic understanding of AGS has mainly been obtained using simple wastewater containing acetate and p ...

Basic understanding of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) processes has mainly been obtained in laboratory-scale studies with simple synthetic wastewaters. Two approaches were applied here to make a step toward the comprehension of AGS systems treating real municipal wastewater. One approach consisted in increasing the complexity of the influent composition of an AGS sequencing batch reactor (SBR) fed with volatile fatty acids, the other in starting up four AGS SBRs with four different wastewaters. Nutrient remo

Shooting ranges represent about 10% of polluted sites in Switzerland. This pollution, mainly consisting of lead (Pb) and antimony (Sb), can spread into the local groundwater, wildlife and plants. In this study, shooting range stop butt soils (elevated soil ...
