Mainstream double-anammox driven by nitritation and denitratation using a one-stage step-feed bioreactor with real municipal wastewater

Wenyu Li et al.

Summary: A novel double-anammox process for advanced mainstream nitrogen removal was established using a step-feed sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system, which effectively reduced total inorganic nitrogen concentration and achieved a 71.4% contribution of anammox to nitrogen removal. Gradient C/N reduction facilitated denitratation/anammox in the anoxic stage, and simultaneous nitritation and anammox were achieved in the oxic stage.

Pilot-scale evaluation of partial denitrification/anammox on nitrogen removal from low COD/N real sewage based on a modified process

Qi Zhao et al.

Summary: The nitrogen removal performance of a pilot-scale biosystem was significantly improved by implementing partial denitrification/anammox (PD/A) in real sewage with low COD/N ratio. Inoculating biocarriers into anaerobic and anoxic zones enhanced anammox and nitrogen removal performance. The anoxic unit served as the PD/A hotspot, enriched with Ca. Brocadia and partial denitrification functional groups in the biofilms, contributing to 34.1% of total nitrogen removal.

Advanced nitrogen removal from low C/N municipal wastewater by combining partial nitrification-anammox and endogenous partial denitrification-anammox (PN/A-EPD/A) process in a single-stage reactor

Huihui Cui et al.

Summary: The study developed an innovative partial nitrification-anammox and endogenous partial denitrificationanammox process for efficient treatment of real municipal wastewater with a C/N ratio below 3.2. The nitrogen removal mechanism analysis revealed the importance of anammox bacteria and endogenous denitrifying bacteria in biofilms and suspended sludge for improving nitrogen removal efficiency. Overall, the combined PN/A and EPD/A process proved to be a reliable and efficient alternative for mainstream anammox processes.

Improving performance and efficiency of partial anammox by coupling partial nitrification and partial denitrification (PN/A-PD/A) to treat municipal sewage in a step-feed reactor

Ruitao Gao et al.

Summary: The study confirmed that the PN/A-PD/A process with partial anammox, spatially coupled with partial nitrification and partial denitrification via oxic/anoxic distribution with step feed mode, is an alternative for application of mainstream anammox in municipal wastewater treatment. The process achieved stable nitrogen loss, improved anammox activity, and increased abundance on the biocarriers.

Enhanced simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal from low COD/TIN domestic wastewater through nitritation-denitritation coupling improved anammox process with an optimal Anaerobic/Oxic/Anoxic strategy

Liyan Deng et al.

Summary: Advanced nitrogen and phosphorus removal was achieved in a single-stage suspending-sludge system using a novel Anaerobic/Oxic/Anoxic (AOA) strategy for over 200 days. The system showed stable nitritation with high activity of ammonia oxidation bacteria and improved anammox performance without initial inoculation. The study provided new insights into advanced nutrient removal with comprehensible regulation and reduced aeration requirement.

Highly enriched anammox within anoxic biofilms by reducing suspended sludge biomass in a real-sewage A2/O process

Jianwei Li et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel strategy for stably enriching anammox in mainstream by utilizing competitive differences between anoxic biofilms and suspended sludge. Experimental results showed that anammox was significantly more abundant in anoxic-carrier biofilms compared to suspended sludge, and batch tests confirmed the effectiveness of anammox for nitrogen removal. Overall, this study demonstrates a promising and practical alternative for enriching anammox bacteria in municipal wastewater treatment plants.

Efficient and advanced nitrogen removal from mature landfill leachate via combining nitritation and denitritation with Anammox in a single sequencing batch biofilm reactor

Hao Jiang et al.

Summary: The study utilized a novel PnA/PdA SBBR to achieve efficient nitrogen removal from landfill leachate, by increasing DO and continuous carbon source feeding. The combined partial nitrification and partial denitrification processes synergized to significantly enhance nitrogen removal efficiency. Ammonia oxidation bacteria and Anammox bacteria showed comparable activities during aerobic period, while organic carbon redirection from complete denitrification to partial denitrification occurred during anoxic period.
