Abstract:
Saline wastewater present in municipal pipe networks poses challenges to biological nitrogen removal due to its inhibition on microorganisms. This study focuses on the effects of low salinity (0.0%, 0.4%, 0.7% and 1.0%) on a system featuring a combination of nitritation/anammox in oxic stage and denitratation/anammox in anoxic stage (double-anammox) in a step-feed SBR for municipal wastewater over a period of 130 days. The results showed that a maximum nitrogen removal efficiency of 81.2% was achieved at a salinity of 1.0% with anammox contribution of 76.5%. Analysis of anammox contribution and sludge activities discovered that low salinity promoted both nitritation and denitratation, further enhancing the coupling with anammox. Further, microbial analysis confirmed that Ca. Brocadia was enriched on biofilms from 0.21% to 0.51% and Nitrosomonas was enriched in flocs from 0.50% to 1.04%. Overall, the double-anammox process appears to be a promising method for the treatment of saline wastewater.
