Retrofit Design

One of the two trains of the 37,000 m3/d Annapolis, Maryland step aeration activated sludge treatment plant was modified for single-sludge anoxic-aerobic operation, and then fixed-film media were integrated into the aerobic zone to enhance nitrification. Rope-like Ringlace media was selected for integration, and 30,000 meters were installed in a volume of 475 m3 for a pilot demonstration. The purpose of the integrated fixed-film media was to upgrade the short hydraulic retention time (HRT) basin (6 hrs nominal) for efficient, year-round nitrogen removal without construction to increase basin volume. An engineering study had concluded that upgrading the facility for year round complete nitrification, without nitrogen removal, would cost US$24 million. The modified train was operated for 12 months, six in the plug-flow MLE configuration, and six in a step-feed configuration. The integrated Ringlace media increased the nitrification rate per unit volume to 225% of that observed in the control section, attaining a value of 1.75 kg/d NH3-N per linear meter at 15°C. The media also increased denitrification in the aerobic media section to the extent that between 30 and 88% of the nitrates formed in the section were denitrified within it, permitting a potential 25% or more reduction in the volume of the anoxic zone. An IFAS retrofit design was developed which incorporated step-feed operation, and reduced the projected construction cost to US$9.2 million.

Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal

The start-up and performance of the completely autotrophic nitrogen removal via nitrite (CANON) process were examined in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) with intermittent aeration. Initially, partial nitrification was established, and then the DO concentration was lowered further, surplus water in the SBR with high nitrite was replaced with tap water, and continuous aeration mode was turned into intermittent aeration mode, while the removal of total nitrogen was still weak. However, the total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency and nitrogen removal loading reached 83.07% and 0.422 kgN/(m3·d), respectively, 14 days after inoculating 0.15 g of CANON biofilm biomass into the SBR. The aggregates formed in SBR were the mixture of activated sludge and granular sludge; the volume ratio of floc and granular sludge was 7 : 3. DNA analysis showed that Planctomycetes-like anammox bacteria and Nitrosomonas-like aerobic ammonium oxidization bacteria were dominant bacteria in the reactor. The influence of aeration strategies on CANON process was investigated using batch tests. The result showed that the strategy of alternating aeration (1 h) and nonaeration (1 h) was optimum, which can obtain almost the same TN removal efficiency as continuous aeration while reducing the energy consumption, inhibiting the activity of NOB, and enhancing the activity of AAOB.

Removal System

A2N is two-sludge system, by using the method that first bringing up the cultivation of denitrifying phosphorus removing bacteria (DPB) and nitrification biofilm separately then connecting them, which can start up A2N system successfully. Nitrification biofilm was cultivated in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). After 30 days, NH4+-N effluent concentration steadily stayed below 0.5mg·L-1.In another SBR, the activated sludge for the enrichment of DPB is from the anaerobic tank, which was firstly operated under anaerobic/aerobic (A/O) condition. After 20 days, PAOs was successfully enriched. Then, the activated sludge was conducted under anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic (A/A/O) condition, maintaining the anaerobic time, gradually increased anoxic time and induced aerobic time. After 30 days DPB was successfully enriched, two phases totally take 50 days. The removal efficiency of total nitrogen and phosphorus are above 85 % and 95 %, so that A2N system was started up successfully.
