Anaerobic technologies have been proposed as a promising solution to enhance bioenergy recovery and transform wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) from an energy consumer exporter. However, 20-60% of the methane produced remains dissolved in anaerobically treated effluent, which is potent greenhouse gas easily stripped out aeration tank. This study aims develop using support denitrification, thus simultaneously enhancing nitrogen removal achieving beneficial use methane. By coupling anaerobic...
The mainstream anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process provides strong support to the on-going paradigm shift from energy-negative energy-neutral in wastewater treatment plants. However, low temperature (e.g., below 15 °C) represents one of major challenges for anammox practice. In this study, a stable nitrogen removal rate (0.13 kg m–3 day–1), together with high-level effluent quality (<5.0 mg N L–1), was achieved lab-scale upflow membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) by coupling...
The mainstream deammonification of municipal wastewater has been recognized as one the greatest challenges in engineering. To tackle this situation, an innovative A-B process was constructed and operated by a multi-parameter control-based operation strategy. In process, anaerobic biofilm reactor (AnBR) functioned A stage for maximizing direct energy recovery, step-feed membrane bioreactor (MBR) B partial nitritation anammox. Influent COD redistribution, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration...
