Abstract

A system and method for the treatment and reduction of sludge via ozonation in a wastewater treatment process is disclosed. The sludge treatment system (10) comprises: a sludge ozonation reactor (30) coupled to an activated sludge treatment basin (20) and adapted to receive a liquid stream of sludge containing biosolids from the activated sludge treatment basin (20). The sludge treatment system (10) also includes an ozone-enriched gas injection system (40) operatively coupled to the reactor and adapted to inject ozone-enriched gas into the liquid stream at or upstream of the sludge ozonation reactor (30). The sludge ozonation reactor (30) is configured to allow effective gas-liquid contacting between the ozone-enriched gas and the liquid stream so as to oxidize the biosolids in the liquid stream and initiate bacterial cell lysis thereby reducing the biosolids. Upon reduction of the biosolids, the liquid stream is returned via a return line (50) to the activated sludge basin (20) or other discharge point (23).

Claims (19)

1. A sludge treatment system comprising:
a plug-flow type ozonation reactor fluidically coupled to an activated sludge treatment basin and adapted to receive a liquid stream containing biosolids from the activated sludge treatment basin;
a source of ozone-enriched gas;
a gas injection system coupled to the source of ozone-enriched gas and adapted to inject ozone-enriched gas into the liquid stream in the ozonation reactor;
the ozonation reactor adapted to facilitate lysis of the biosolids and reduction of sludge; and a return conduit coupled to the ozonation reactor for transporting the ozonated liquid stream to the activated sludge treatment basin.
2. The activated sludge treatment system of claim 1 wherein the source of ozone-enriched gas further comprises an ozone generator coupled to a source of oxygen and the ozone enriched gas is an ozone enriched oxygen gas.
3. The activated sludge treatment system of claim 1 wherein the source of ozone-enriched gas further comprises an ozone generator coupled to a source of ambient air and the ozone enriched gas is ozone enriched air.
4. The activated sludge treatment system of claim 1 wherein the source of ozone-enriched gas further comprises an ozone generator coupled to a source of oxygen enriched air and the ozone enriched gas is an ozone enriched air-oxygen mixture.
5. The activated sludge treatment system of claim 1 wherein the gas injection system further comprises one or more nozzles disposed in the ozonation reactor.
6. The activated sludge treatment system of claim 1 wherein the gas injection system gas further comprises a venturi device disposed in the ozonation reactor.
7. The activated sludge treatment system of claim 1 wherein the gas injection system gas further comprises a plurality of injecting devices disposed proximate the ozonation reactor.

13. The method of sludge reduction according to claim 12 further comprising the step of producing an ozone-enriched gas by generating ozone and mixing the ozone with a gas, and wherein the percent of ozone is between 6 and percent by volume.
14. The method of sludge reduction according to claim 12 further comprising the step of producing an ozone-enriched gas by generating ozone and mixing the ozone with a mixture of oxygen and ambient air, and wherein the percent of ozone is between 6 and 15 percent by volume.
15. The method of sludge reduction according to claim 12 further comprising the step pre-treating the liquid stream containing biosolids.
16 The method of sludge reduction according to claim 12 wherein the step of introducing an ozone-enriched gas to the ozonation reactor further comprises injecting ozone-enriched gas at a plurality of locations within the ozonation reactor.
17. The method of sludge reduction according to claim 12 wherein the step of discharging the ozonated liquid stream further comprises discharging the ozonated liquid stream back to the activated sludge basin.
18. The method of sludge reduction according to claim 12 wherein the ozonation reactor is a plug flow reactor.
19 19. A method of reducing biosolids in a wastewater treatment process comprising the steps of:
directing a liquid stream containing biosolids within a wastewater treatment process to a high selectivity ozonation reactor; and introducing an ozone-enriched gas to the liquid stream at or upstream of the ozonation reactor to induce lysis of the biosolids through the interaction of the biosolids with ozone within the ozonation reactor; and discharging the ozonated liquid stream containing by-products resulting from the induced lysis to a bioreactor for further bio-oxidation of the by-products;
wherein the ratio of biosolids reduced in kilograms to ozone usage in kilograms is equal to or greater than 10.
