Anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) conversion is an elegant short-cut in the natural nitrogen cycle where ammonium and nitrite are converted to nitrogen gas. As the Anammox process involves removal of ammonium over nitrite (NO2-) rather than nitrate (NO3-), 63% less oxygen (O2) is required while eliminating the need for an external carbon ...

May 31, 2016· Both sidestream treatment technologies can remove a significant amount of nitrogen from the filtrate compared to the baseline (90 percent and 99 percent removal of ammonia-nitrogen with anammox and PAD, respectively) and can achieve similar effluent quality.

Improving nitrogen removal to levels sufficient to reduce eutrophication is a challenge to conventional nitrification and denitrification, which is limited by process configuration (with nitrate recirculation) and environmental inhibition. To satisfy stringent discharge standards within a compact plant footprint, a sustainable strategy by ...

Apr 22, 2020· Immediately after the sidestream treatment system was placed into service, nitrogen in the mainstream facility was measured at concentrations significantly lower than typical and was sustained at historically low concentrations throughout the operation. This translated into a significant methanol cost savings of $1,500 per day (USD).

Apr 06, 2021· To further reduce the energy consumption in the wastewater biological nitrogen removal process, partial nitrification and its integrated processes have attracted increasing attentions owing to their economy and efficiency. Shortening the steps of ammonia oxidation to nitrate saves a large amount of aeration, and the accumulated nitrite could be reduced by …

Jan 26, 2019· Incorporating the cyanobacterial nutrient removal process as the sidestream wastewater treatment of a conventional activated sludge process reduces the total nitrogen concentrations discharged from the WWTF from 25.9 to 15.2 mg 1 −1. Methane yield was found to be increased by 4% of the baseline value when cyanobacterial biomass was co ...

However, nitrogen in the sidestream is mostly in the form of nitrate, which prevents anaerobic conditions from developing in the fermentation basin at NWRWRF, and thereby interferes with the enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process.
