In Ireland, wastewaters emanating from the food industry typically contain elevated levels of nitrogen and phosphorus before treatment. Two pilot scale studies were performed to determine the feasibility of achieving biological N and P removal on-site at a food ingredients plant. The wastewater treated by the pilot reactors was that which resulted from the day-to-day production in the full-scale food ingredients plant. Both reactors were of the anaerobic/anoxic/oxic (A/A/O) design, however the sizing of the zones was varied in this study. In the first pilot study, while treating a wastewater of the following strength: 1008 mg COD/l; 30.1 mg NH4-N/l and 26.7 mg P/l, removal efficiencies of 93%, 99% and 98% were obtained for COD, NH4-N and P, respectively. In the second study, while operating at reduced hydraulic retention times and lower recycle rates, the pilot plant treated a wastewater of the following strength: 1757 mg COD/l; 62 mg NH4-N/l and 57 mg P/l, with removal efficiencies of 94%, 97% and 75% obtained for COD, NH4-N and P, respectively. This work showed that biological nutrient removal could be successfully applied to treatment of food industry wastewaters. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
