Zusammenfassung:Micro-sieving is an effective way to prevent organic pollutants enter the main biological process and reduce aeration intensity and sludge production. However, few researchers quantified the effect of micro-sieving on meat processing wastewater treatment. The current study developed Excel-based models to compare the energy consumption and production of historical, conventional and innovative systems. Historical and conventional systems employ activated sludge (AS), nitrification, and denitrification as the main biological processes. Innovative systems are designed by using up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and partial nitrification/Anammox (PN/A) as the main treatment processes. Results show that the CH4/O2 energy ratios of the innovative treatment system are as high as 10 times of the historical and conventional systems. Therefore, innovative system can achieve electrical self-sufficiency. Micro-sieving reduces 5% of aeration demand. Furthermore, the impact of micro-sieving on the innovative treatment systemis assessed by cost-benefit analysis. System with micro-sieving has the shortest payback time of 2.1 years and reduces cost of the innovative treatment system. An excel-based model was developed to quantify the impact of micro-sieving on energy and cost of innovative treatment system, thereby providing a valuable reference for future sustainable engineering design of meat processing wastewater treatment
