Thermophilic biological nitrogen removal in industrial wastewater treatment

Thermophilic Biological Wastewater Treatment

Thermophilic treatment is one of the advanced treatment technologies used for the purification of high-strength wastewaters. Thermophilic systems are conventionally used for sludge treatment, but their ability to reduce COD to a great extent with sludge generation one-tenth when compared to the other wastewater treatment technologies, have favored its application for wastewater purification. Mo...

Fuzzy predictive control for nitrogen removal in biological wastewater treatment.

Whenever the carbon/nitrogen ratio of a domestic wastewater is too low, full denitrification is difficult to obtain and an additional source of organic carbon has to be provided. Since loading conditions may vary appreciably over the diurnal cycle, depending on the weather and sewage conditions, dosing should be controlled by an adaptive regulator to keep into account the time-varying process d...

Nitrogen removal from industrial wastewater by hybrid constructed wetland systems

The efficiency in nitrogen removal from wastewater generated at CSBP Ltd fertiliser and chemical manufacturer by two hybrid constructed wetland mesocosms was compared. The mesocosms were set up in order to help clarify the reasons why the two year old constructed wetland located at the industrial facility, a 1.2 ha free water surface/vertical flow conjugated system, has performed under the 50% ...

Hybrid Adsorption and Biological Treatment System (HABiTS) for enhanced nitrogen removal in onsite wastewater treatment systems

A Hybrid Adsorption and Biological Treatment System (HABiTS) was investigated for efficient nitrification in on-site wastewater treatment. Variable septic tank effluent loading experiments were carried out in bench-scale columns, with and without zeolite addition. Enhanced NH4-N removal (80%) was observed in the HABiTS column that combined expanded clay and clinoptilolite compared with a contro...
