volatile fatty acid volatile suspended solids potential of hydrogen 3.5.1.3 DHS reactor According to the laboratory scale and pilot scale experiment, the HRT of DHS reactor was designed hours together with effluent recirculation The sponge volume of the DHS reactor can be calculated by following equation V = Q/HRT = 250 m3 V: sponge volume (m3) Q: Flow rate (m3·day-1) HRT: hydridic retention time (hours) The sponge volume of 250 m3 DHS reactor will be more than 500 m3 of total volume The expected height of DHS rector is more than m, thus it could be considered to install several DHS reactors 88 3.5.2 Calculation of Energy consumption and generation for operation of UASB-DHS system 3.5.2.1 Energy consumption of UASB-DHS system Tandukar et al (2007) demonstrated that UASB-DHS system was cost effective compared with activated sludge process [22] In addition, Tanikawa et al (2016) reported that two stage UASB- DHS system treating natural rubber latex wastewater in Thailand can be reduced 95% of energy consumption [24] The strong point of UASB-DHS system is electricity only required for pumping wastewater to UASB reactor Therefore, electricity consumption can be calculated as below The speciation of centrifugal pump is Flow rate: 1,000 m3·day-1 Lifting height: m The centrifugal pump (GE-4M, Kawamoto pump) was selected for this calculation The electricity consumption of this pump was estimated 7.5 kWh In addition, pump for DHS recirculation is used Therefore, the electricity consumption of this UASBDHS system is 15.0 kWh 89 3.5.2.2 Energy production of UASB-DHS system The UASB reactor could be recovered energy in form as the methane The energy recovery from UASB reactor was calculated flow as; Influent COD: 6,000 mg-COD·L-1 Influent flow rate: 1,000 m3·day-1 Estimated methane recovery ratio (based on influent total COD): 60% Estimated methane production (L-CH4·day-1) = 6,000 (mg-COD·L-1) × 1,000 (m3·day-1) × 60% / 2.857 (g-COD·L-CH4-1) = 1,260 (m3-CH4·day-1) The manual for installation of biomass plant published by Ministry of Environment, Japan mentioned gas power generation unit is 1.8 kWh· m3-CH4 The power generation from UASB reactor can be calculated flow as; The power generation from UASB reactor (kWh) = Methane gas production (1,260 m3-CH4·day-1) × (1.8 kWh·m3-CH4-1) = 2,268 (KWh·day-1) Compared with the electricity consumption and electricity generation, the UASB reactor could be generated approximately 2,000 KWh·day-1 This generated electricity is enough for operating a factory 90 Conclusions The water quality and greenhouse gas emission from the existing treatment system treating natural rubber processing wastewater in Vietnam was surveyed The effluent from existing treatment was exceed the discharge standard In addition, open-type anaerobic system emitted not only methane, but also nitrous oxide had high GWP - The final effluent of existing process was Total COD of 730 mg·L-1, TSS of 200 mg·L-1 and TN of 60 mg-N·L-1, respectively - The emission rates (flux) from m3 of treated RSS wastewater for methane, nitrous oxide, and total GHGs by open-type anaerobic system were calculated as 0.054 tCO2eq·m-3, 0.099 t- CO2eq·m-3, and 0.153 t-CO2eq·m-3, respectively Laboratory scale UASB-DHS system and ABR system was demonstrated treatment of natural rubber processing wastewater Both systems performed good process performance and were capable for treating natural rubber processing wastewater - The laboratory scale UASB reactor performed high-level total COD removal at 92.7 ± 2.3% with an OLR of 12.2 ± 6.2 kg-COD m−3 day−1 and 93.3 ± 19.3% methane recovery, corresponding to the influent and effluent COD concentration of 7,010 ± 1,430 mg-COD·L-1 and 530 ± 220 mg-COD·L-1, respectively - The laboratory scale ABR performed good process performance of 92.3 ± 0.3% COD removal efficiency with OLR of 1.4 ± 0.3 kg-COD·m-3·day-1 without pretreatment corresponding to the influent and effluent COD concentration of 3,420 ± 660 mg-COD·L-1 and 311 ± 218 mg-COD·L-1, respectively Pilot scale UASB-DHS system was operated in an actual natural rubber processing factory - The system generated same effluent quality compared with current treatment system - Approximately 80% of hydraulic retention times can be reduced 91 The system could be significantly reduced GHGes emission The proposed system could be an appropriate treatment system for treating natural rubber processing wastewater in Vietnam - The system achieved high organic removal efficiency together with energy recovery form as methane - The existing treatment system and proposed system need more effective nitrogen process for achieve the discharge standard 92 Recommendation for future study · In this research, energy-recovery type wastewater treatment system UASB- DHS system was applied to natural rubber processing wastewater in Vietnam The key point for application of UASB reactor in natural rubber processing wastewater was combined with efficient pretreatment process ABR system was used in this study, however, accumulation of natural rubber particular in the UASB column is always happed and leaded sludge washed-out Therefore, effective pre-treatment process is need to researched Moreover, the production process of natural rubber should be considered like acid and ammonia addition · Our research and present researches often exceed discharge standard of ammonia and nitrogen contents Effective nitrogen removal process should be researched for achieve the discharged standard Moreover, autotrophic denitrification processes such anammox process would be applied to this wastewater in order to reduce operational cost for wastewater treatment · This study investigated that current anaerobic treatment system emitted large amount of GHGes Therefore, further study for emission principle and reduction methods should be studied 93 PUBLICATION LIST D Tanikawa, K Syutsubo, T Watari, Y
