Evaluation of a microbial enzyme complex on the rate of aerobic biodepuration of domestic wastewater

The present study evaluated the impact of the concentration of a microbial enzyme complex on the aerobic purification rate of domestic wastewater. A diverse and active microbial enzyme complex allows the efficient degradation of organic pollutants present in wastewater. In addition, environmental conditions, such as nutrient availability and optimum temperature, favor enzymatic activity and the performance of the purification process. For this purpose, aerobic depuration tests were carried out in a bioreactor considering three concentration levels of the microbial enzyme complex (۱.۰, ۱.۵, and ۲.۰ g/L), a controlled temperature of ۱۷°C, and a dissolved oxygen concentration of ۳.۰ ppm. The adaptation process of the microorganisms lasted two days, with a daily decrease in the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) of ۶۲.۸, ۷۱.۱, and ۷۷.۹ ppm. Therefore, the removal rate increased with the concentration of the microbial enzyme complex, and the treatment time had a significant effect on the speed of purification.
