Effect of plant biomass harvesting on waste nutrient removal from fish farm wastewater

Effect of plant biomass harvesting on waste nutrient removal from fish farm wastewater / Durrah Faiqah Mohd Farid
Tujuan utama kajian ini adalah untuk mengkaji kesan organisma tumbuhan terhadap potensi spesies Lemna dan Spirodela dalam pembuangan sisa nutrien yang terkandung dalam air sisa pertenakan ikan. Kesan organisma tumbuhan terhadap potensi spesies Lemna dan Spirodela dikaji melalui proses secara berkumpulan. Eksperimen dijalankan selama 14 hari dan sample air dikumpulkan setiap 2 hari. Jumlah berat kedua-dua spesies pada permulaan adalah 4.2 g bagi setiap bekas. Prestasi spesies Lemna dan Spirodela dinilai melalui enam jenis ujian iaitu ujian nitrat, fosfat, tahap kekeruhan air, ammonia, kapasiti air untuk menggunakan oksigen semasa proses penguraian bahan organik serta oksidasi bahan kimia bukan organik (COD) dan tahap kepekatan biomass dalam enapcemar diaktifkan (MLVSS). Jumlah nitrat yang terdapat dalam sampel sisa air ternakan ikan tanpa kehadiran spesies Lemna dan Spirodela ialah yang paling tinggi iaitu 1.7 mg/L NO3—N. Jumlah fosfat yang terdapat dalam sampel air dari spesies Spirodela yang dituai berkurang sehingga 0.04 mg/L PO43- pada hari ke 14 iaitu hari terakhir eksperimen dijalankan. Corak perubahan menurun untuk tahap kekeruhan sampel air dapat dilihat untuk kesemua kumpulan eksperimen tetapi kadar penurunan tahap kekeringan lebih pantas dengan kehadiran spesies Lemna dan Spirodela. Jumlah ammonia mencapai bacaan 0 mg/L N pada hari ke 6 dengan spesies Spirodela manakala hari ke 10 untuk spesies Lemna dan hari ke 12 untuk kumpulan tanpa kedua-dua spesies. Spesies Lemna tanpa penuaian mencapai 0 mg/L O2 paling terawal iaitu pada hari eksperiment yang ke 10. MLVSS meningkat banyak dengan kehadiran spesies Lemna dan Spirodela. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ The main purpose of this work is to study the effect of plant biomass harvesting on waste nutrient removal from fish farm wastewater using Lemna and Spirodela sp. The effect of biomass harvesting on the performance of Lemna and Spirodela sp. in the nutrient removal from fish farm wastewater was evaluated in feed batch processes. The experiment was conducted for 14 days and the water samples to be tested were collected for every 2 days. The initial weight of both sp. in every container is 4.2 g. The performance of Lemna and Spirodela were determined by six tests which were nitrate, phosphate, turbidity, ammonia, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) tests. The nitrate concentration increases the highest at 1.7 mg/L NO3--N without the presence of Lemna and Spirodela sp. The concentration of phosphate in the water sample greatly reduced to 0.04 mg/L PO43- on day 14 which the last day of the experiment in the harvested Spirodela batch. A decreasing trend is obtained in turbidity for all water samples but the decrease is faster with the presence of Lemna and Spirodela. The concentration of ammonia reached 0 mg/L N the fastest with Spirodela sp. which is on day 6 while day 10 and day 12 for Lemna and without duckweed respectively. The COD level reached 0 mg/L O2 the fastest with Lemna sp. without harvesting. The MLVSS increased greatly with the presence of Lemna and Spirodela sp.
