A two-biofilter system operated under alternate conditions of anaerobic/aerobic was tested to simultaneously remove nitrogen and phosphorus from sewage. The factors affecting simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus by the two-biofilter system were investigated. Those factors appeared to be influent COD/T-N and COD/T-P ratio, nitrogen loading rate and hydraulic retention time. Nitrite and nitrate produced in the biofilter in aerobic condition affected phosphorus removal by the two-biofilter system. The amount of biomass wasted during the backwash procedure also affected total nitrogen and phosphorus removal by the system.

A two-biofilter system operated under alternating anaerobic/aerobic conditions was tested to remove nutrient as well as organics from wastewater generated from car-washing facility. The wastewater was characterized by relatively low organic and high phosphorus content. The factors affecting phosphorus removal in the two-biofilter system were investigated. Operational parameters examined in this study were hydraulic retention time, organic, suspended solid and nitrogen loading rate. The factors affecting phosphorus removal in biological filter appeared to be influent COD, COD/T–P, BOD/COD, nitrogen, and SS/T–P. Nitrite and nitrate produced in the biofilter in aerobic condition affected phosphorus removal by the two-biofilter system. The biomass wasted during backwash procedure also affected total phosphorus removal by the system.

A pilot plant with a capacity of 20∼30m3/day was operated for 10 months for simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus by a modified Phostrip process. In the process, a denitrification tank was installed before the aeration tank in the Phostrip process, which was developed mainly for phosphorus removal. To maintain the effluent TKN concentration in the range of 1∼3 mg/L, the allowable maximum TKN loading rate in the aeration tank was found to be 0.065 kg TKN/kg MLSS·d. The nitrification rate in the aeration tank increased as the influent COD/TKN ratio declined. The optimal internal recycle rate from the aeration tank to the denitrifier was found to be 2Q when the yearly average COD and TKN concentration of the influent was 197 mg/L and 37.1 mg/L, respectively. To keep the effluent T-P concentration below 1 mg/L, T-P loading to the aeration tank should be less than 0.008 kg T-P/kg MLSS·d at the sludge recycle rate of 0.3Q from the 2nd clarifier to P-stripper. However, the loading should be kept at less than 0.0065 kg T-P/kg MLSS·d at the sludge recycle rate of 0.15Q.

The nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency and effect of different electron acceptors (O2 and NO3-) on the sludge yield were studied through experiments in two SBRs (Sequencing Batch Reactors ) in this paper. The results showed that two systems both had good decontamination effect; the theory value of sludge yield (It was 0.435gVSS/gCOD and 0.402gVSS/gCOD for anaerobic /aerobic and anaerobic/anoxic condition, respectively) was higher than the actual value (It was 0.335gVSS/gCOD and 0.321g VSS/gCOD for anaerobic/aerobic and anaerobic/anoxic condition, respectively); There was no significant difference for the sludge yield under anaerobic/aerobic and anaerobic/anoxic conditions, because the endogenesis respiration of sludge under anaerobic/aerobic condition was stronger consequently more sludge being attenuated (Attenuation coefficient was 0.0081 and 0.0026 for anaerobic/aerobic and anaerobic/anoxic condition, respectively).

There are three key aspects of substrate effect on anaerobic ammonia oxidizing (anammox) bacteria: (1) substrate concentration-based nitrogen loading rate (NLR), (2) hydraulic retention time (HRT)-based NLR and (3) nitrite/ammonia ratio.

Combined system of Anaerobic/Anoxic/Oxic reactor with Biological Aerated Filter (A2/O – BAF) is used to enhance simultaneous removal of nitrogen and phosphorus on aquatic product processing wastewater treatment. A2/O reactor was operated with short solids retention time employed mainly for removal of organic matter and phosphorus together with denitrification and BAF with long solids retention time employed mainly for nitrification. The model of combined A2/O – BAF system made from polyacrylic with the capacity of 49.5 liters was operated with hydraulic retention time decreased from 19.2 to 9.6 hours and organic loading rates increased from 0.50 to 1.0 kgCOD/m3/day.  The results showed that the model not only treated organic matter well but also removed nearly completely both nitrogen and phosphorus. For loading rate of 0.75 kgCOD/m3/day, treatment efficiencies of COD, NH4+-N, TN, TP of the model were the highest as 91.02, 96.82, 84.08, 86.66  %, respectively and output values of these parameters were within the limits of QCVN 11:2008/BTNMT, column A.
