DOI: THE EFFECT OF STATIC MIXER ON AEROBIC BIOGRANULES FORMATION FOR TEXTILE INDUSTRY WASTEWATER TREATMENT
A. R. Abdul Sulaiman , Faculty Of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johor, MalaysiaAbstract
Textile industry wastewater contains various pollutants that require effective treatment before discharge. Aerobic biogranules have shown promise as a sustainable and efficient solution for wastewater treatment. This study investigates the effect of a static mixer on aerobic biogranules formation for textile industry wastewater treatment. The static mixer is introduced in the wastewater treatment process to enhance mixing and promote the formation of aerobic biogranules, which are dense microbial aggregates capable of degrading organic pollutants. Laboratory-scale experiments are conducted to compare the performance of aerobic bioreactors with and without the static mixer. Parameters such as pollutant removal efficiency, biogranule characteristics, and system stability are evaluated. The results demonstrate that the use of a static mixer significantly enhances the formation of aerobic biogranules, leading to improved wastewater treatment performance. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the role of mixing in aerobic biogranule formation and provide insights for the optimization of textile industry wastewater treatment processes.
