Partial Nitritation/anammox and Canon – Nitrogen Removal Systems Followed by Conductivity Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
The deammonification process is a new biological promising method for a separate treatment of ammonium-rich digester supernatant. Its application can significantly reduce the nitrogen load in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs). The method is a two-step process and it can be accomplished in two separate stages (partial nitritation and Anammox) or in a singe one (CANON). Both these systems were tested at pilot plants: the CANON process in a laboratory-scale plant while partial nitritation/Anammox in a technical-scale one. The pilot plants were filled with Kaldnes rings as biofilm carriers and supplied with supernatant, coming from digested sludge dewatering at the Bromma and Himmerfjärden WWTPs, Stockholm, Sweden. The supernatant main ions ammonium and hydrogen carbonate were converted during the processes to carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas molecules and therefore the process performance could be followed by conductivity measurements. The experiments proved that conductivity was an easy and simple method to monitor the nitrogen removal processes. Moreover, the data from on-line conductivity instruments, installed in the Anammox reactor of the technical-scale pilot plant, showed great similarity with the manual measurements.

Partial nitritation ANAMMOX in submerged attached growth bioreactors with smart aeration at 20 °C.
Submerged attached growth bioreactors (SAGBs) were operated at 20 °C for 30 weeks in smart-aerated, partial nitritation ANAMMOX mode and in a timer-controlled, cyclic aeration mode. The smart-aerated SAGBs removed 48-53% of total nitrogen (TN) compared to 45% for SAGBs with timed aeration. Low dissolved oxygen concentrations and cyclic pH patterns in the smart-aerated SAGBs suggested conditions...
متن کاملSmall aggregates can cause nitrite accumulation in one-stage partial nitritation and anammox
Aerobic and anoxic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AerAOB and AnAOB) cooperate in partial nitritation/anammox systems to remove ammonium from wastewater. In this process, nitrite accumulation is not desirable, since it decreases the nitrogen removal rate and since it can potentially inhibit the AnAOB. This study addressed several aspects of the microbial aggregate size for three independent types ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Influent Characteristics and Operational Conditions over the Performance and Microbial Community Structure of Partial Nitritation Reactors
Nitrogen is a main contaminant of wastewater worldwide. Novel processes for nitrogen removal have been developed over the last several decades. One of these is the partial nitritation process. This process includes the oxidation of ammonium to nitrite without the generation of nitrate. The partial nitritation process has several advantages over traditional nitrification-denitrification processe...
متن کاملNitrogen removal by a nitritation-anammox bioreactor at low temperature.
Currently, nitritation-anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) bioreactors are designed to treat wastewaters with high ammonium concentrations at mesophilic temperatures (25 to 40°C). The implementation of this technology at ambient temperatures for nitrogen removal from municipal wastewater following carbon removal may lead to more-sustainable technology with energy and cost savings. However, t...
متن کاملTreatment of Landfill Leachate by Anammox Process
In most cases, the anammox process is used for nitrogen removal from reject water coming from dewatering of digested sludge. However, there are more industrial streams suitable for treatment by partial nitritation/anammox process. The landfill leachate may be a good example of such wastewater. Generally, landfilling is the most used solution for treatment of urban solid wastes. The problem with...
