Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a new type of bio-polyester which is expected to replace traditional petroleum-based plastics. It is also a critical transformation hub of carbon source in nitrogen and phosphorus removal in sewage. Based on the anaerobic-oxygen limited process, the experiment took organic solid waste fermentation liquid as carbon source control hub and realized PHA synthesis and recovery in denitrification and phosphorus removal from low carbon sewage the SBR reactor by regulating pH value and nitrogen and phosphorus restriction. The experimental results showed that when the ratio of C/N and C/P was 150, the content of PHA accounted for 50.39% and 36.07 of the dry cell weight, respectively. Besides, it was found that increasing the C/N ratio was beneficial to increasing the proportion of PHV in PHA. This study proved the feasibility of using an anaerobic-oxygen limited process to recover PHA in nitrogen and phosphorus removal from low-carbon sewage, which saves gas and reduces energy consumption. At the same time, it also provides some help for the follow-up study of low-carbon urban sewage nitrogen and phosphorus removal coupled with resource recovery of PHA to guide the water industry economy to develop in a circular and sustainable direction

This investigation incorporated a stepwise feeding strategy into the biological process containing anaerobic/oxide/anoxic/oxide (AOAO) stages to enhance nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiencies. Synthetic wastewater was fed into the experimental reactors during the anaerobic and anoxic stages and the substrates/nutrients were successfully consumed without recycling either nitrified effluent or external carbon source. An intrinsic sufficient carbon source developed during the anoxic stage and caused the NOx (NO2-N+NO3-N) concentration to be reduced from 11.85mg/l to 5.65mg/l. The total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) removal rate was between 81.81%∼93.96% and the PO4-P removal ratio ranged from 93%∼100%. The substrate fed into the anaerobic with a Q1 flow rate and a Q2 into the anoxic reactor. The three difference experiments contained within this study produced Q1/Q2 that varied from 7/3, 8/2, and 9/1. The AOAO process saved nearly one-third of the energy compared with typical biological nutrient removal (BNR) system A2O processes.

P Removal

A University of Cape Town process coupled with integrated fixed biofilm and activated sludge system was modified by bypass flow strategy (BUCT–IFAS) to enhance nitrogen and phosphorus removal from the wastewater containing insufficient carbon source. This process was operated under different bypass flow ratios (λ were 0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7, respectively) to investigate the effect of different operational modes on the nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) removal efficiency (λ = 0 was noted as common mode, other λ were noted as bypass flow mode), and optimizing the N and P removal efficiency by altering the λ. Results showed that the best total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) removal performances were achieved at λ of 0.6, the effluent TN and TP averaged 14.0 and 0.4 mg/L meeting discharge standard (TN < 15 mg/L, TP < 0.5 mg/L). Correspondingly, the TN and TP removal efficiencies were 70% and 94%, respectively, which were 24 and 41% higher than those at λ of 0. In addition, the denitrification and anoxic P-uptake rates were increased by 23% and 23%, respectively, compared with those at λ of 0. These results demonstrated that the BUCT–IFAS process was an attractive method for enhancing nitrogen and phosphorus removal from wastewater containing insufficient carbon source.

Simulate sewage were used in an anaerobic-anoxic-aerobic biological nutrient removal system(A2O process), by observing the pHs in different compartments and its reflected changes in nitrogen and phosphorus removal, studied on the effects of different pHs on the removal of pollutants. The experiments indicates that the anaerobic phosphorus release showed the main performance of the decline of pH, denitrification in anoxic zone caused the rise of pH, uptake of phosphate in the aerobic zone mainly caused the continuous rise of pH. There is no evidently changes in COD removal, ammonia nitrogen get the highest removal as the pH value was between 8.0-8.5, when pH was at 6.5-7.5, the TN have the maximum removal rate, TP can keep in a high level when the pH was above 6.0.
