Abstract:
This work investigated the feasibility of a novel simultaneous enhanced biological phosphorus removal and semi-nitritation (EBPR-SN) plus anammox process treating real municipal wastewater from summer to winter (28.1- 15.3 °C). Two lab-scale sequential reactors were used in this study, namely EBPR-SN and Anammox sequencing batch reactors (SBRs). Long-term operation suggested that ammonium oxidizing bacteria abundance decreased from 1.67% to 0.89% whereas nitrite oxidizing bacteria decreased to nearly undetected in the EBPR-SN SBR, maintaining the stable nitritation (nitrite accumulation ratio: 98.3 ± 1.0%). Lowering airflow rate was effective to retain nitritation with temperature decrease. Reliable nutrient removal was still maintained in winter (16.4 ± 0.7 °C), i.e. the removal efficiencies for nitrogen and phosphorus were 80.0 ± 3.5% and 95.4 ± 5.2%, respectively, with short aerobic HRT (6.4 h) and low dissolved oxygen (0.2-1.5 mg/L). The percentage of anammox contribution to nitrogen-removal increased with temperature decrease, although Candidatus Brocadia abundance decreased. Additionally, the protection of extracellular polymeric substances was important to the successful performance.
