Abstract A simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) bioaugmention system with Pseudomonas sp. HJ3 inoculated was established to explore the potential of simultaneous phenol and nitrogen removal in coal gasification wastewater (CGW). When the concentration of influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total phenols (TPh) was 1,765.94 ± 27.43 mg/L and 289.55 ± 10.32 mg/L, the average removal efficiency of COD and TPh at the stable operating stage reached 64.07% ± 0.76% and 74.91% ± 0.33%, respectively. Meanwhile, the average removal efficiency of NH4+-N and total nitrogen (TN) reached 67.96% ± 0.17% and 57.95% ± 0.12%, respectively. The maximum SND efficiency reached 83.51%. Furthermore, SND bioaugmentation performed with good nitrification tolerance of phenol shock load and significantly reduced toxic inhibition of organisms. Additionally, the microbial community analysis indicated that Pseudomonas sp. HJ3 was the predominant bacterium in the SND bioaugmentation system. Moreover, the indigenous nitrogen removal bacteria such as Thauera, Acidovorax and Stenotrophomonas were enriched, which further enhanced the nitrogen removal in the SND bioaugmentation system. The results demonstrated the promising application of SND bioaugmentation for enhancing simultaneous phenol and nitrogen removal in CGW treatment.

A study was conducted regarding the biological nitrogen removal from the livestock and poultry breeding wastewater (LPBWs) using a novel sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR). Nitrogen removal process was studied under three aeration strategies/modes, referred to as MODE 1, 2, and 3. The results showed that MODE 2 (one operation period: instant fill of LPBWs, 3.0 h aeration, 1.5 h non-aeration, 1.5 h aeration, 1.0 h non-aeration and rapid drain of treated LPBWs) performed the best in nitrogen removal. Under MODE 2, the removal efficiencies were as high as 96.1 and 92.1% for NH3-N and TN, respectively. Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND), as well as shortcut nitrification and denitrification are likely to be the two main mechanisms for the nitrogen removal in this study. Nitrifying bateria were not inhibited by heterotrophic bacteria with C/N ratios ranging from 18.1 to 21.4 and DO concentration of 2.0 mg/l. Alternation between aeration and non-aeration played an important role in NO2−-N accumulation.

In order to investigate the potential of sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) technology of two-sludge system for denitrifying dephosphatation (A2ON process),we build a tab-scale experiment .Then find that the simultaneous removal of phosphorus and nitrogen in the two sludge system is possible .By the control of COD/TN ratio ,highly effective simultaneous nitrification and denitrification is achieved in the A2ON system.And the ratio of denitrification is 85%, the ratio of dephosphatation is 87%.It also demonstrates that the process is stable ,at the same time decrease the effect of dephosphorization and denitrification by the limited carbon source.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the performances of A lab-scale innovative sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) to treat domestic wastewater,in which a acryl cylinder (height 200 mm, diameter 70 mm) was equipped and many fiber threads were attached to the surface of the cylinder as the bacteria carrier. No time and volume for settling was required in this system. After one year’s operation, each parameter achieved the wastewater discharged criterion in 2 cycles (4 h). It was found that COD removal efficiency was up to 90% in 3 h, and ammonium nitrogen concentration approached the least value; total nitrogen removal efficiency reached 55%-71%. In this SBBR system simultaneous nitrification and denitrification was completed at the end of 2 cycles.

The experiment studies the phenomenon of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) in SBBR filled with polyurethane as micro-organisms immobilized carriers. Polyurethane fills in SBR as micro-organisms immobilized carriers, formation of a Sequencing Batch Biofilm Reactor (SBBR). Under the anaerobic/aerobic conditions, we studied the effects of C/P, C/N and DO on SND. The results showed that when COD was 400mg/L, C/P was 43.2~50.2, C/N was 9.41~11.9 of the influent, the concentration of DO was 3.31~4.01mg/L, the effect of TN removal was good. When C/P was 46.9, C/N was 10.3, the concentration of DO was 3.58mg/L, the removal rate of TN was 83.71%, TN effluent was 6.45mg/L. TN effluent followed byⅠA standard of “Discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant”. DO concentrations impact the forms of nitrogen in the effluent. C/P, C/N and DO play an important role on SND in SBBR filled with polyurethane. Controlling these factors effectively can inhance the effect of nitrogen removal.

In this paper, a study of a new process with nitrosofication and denitrosofication for nitrogen removal from coal gasification wastewater is reported. In the process, fibrous carriers were packed in an anoxic tank and an aerobic tank for the attached growth of the denitrifying bacteria and Nitrobacter respectively, and the suspended growth activated sludge was used in an aerobic tank for the growth of Nitrosomonas. A bench scale test has been carried out on the process, and the test results showed that using the process, 25% of the oxygen demand and 40% of the carbon source demand can be saved, and the efficiency of total nitrogen removal can increase over 10% as compared with a traditional process for biological nitrogen removal.

The aim of this article is to present a new biological aerated filter (BAF) for nitrogen removal based on simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. Contrary to the systems which integrate both an aerated and a non-aerated zone to allow complete nitrogen removal in one compact or two different units (pre-denitrification and nitrification), this upflow BAF system is based on the principle of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification since the filter is completely aerated. The denitrification process is possible due to the diffusion effect which dominates biofilm processes. The real time aeration control allows us to maintain a low dissolved oxygen value (0.5 to 3 mg O2/l). In this case, the biofilm will not be fully (or less) penetrated with oxygen and denitrification will be carried out in a large part of the biofilm. Therefore, nitrification and denitrification is running simultaneously in different depths of the biofilm. By using 50% less air this BAF gave the same results (less than 20mg TN/l) on pilot plant as a classical nitrification and denitrification BAF (Toettrup et al., 1994). Less recirculation was necessary to achieve the same denitrification.
