The designed capacity of Jinan Citys wastewater treatment plant (the second sewage treatment plant) is 200,000 m3/d, and the biological treatment process is DE-type oxidation ditch process. Because of self-control requirements, equipment quality and management , alternat-ing operation of anoxia and oxygen can not be achieved. Acting in concert with the engineering of south-to-north water diversion and water quality improvement of the Xiaoqing River, water quality improvement and transformation of nitrogen and phosphorus removal process was condu-cted. By increasing the diversion wall, digestive reflux and other measures, the DE oxidat-ion ditch process was transformed into A2/O process, while the depth of V-efficiency fiber filter processing and chemical phosphorus removal process were increased. After the upgrade, the process is stable, the effluent quality reached an A standard of " discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant" (GB18918-2002).

Biofilters have been shown to effectively treat stormwater and achieve nutrient load reduction targets. However, effluent concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus typically exceed environmental targets for receiving water protection. This study investigates the role of filter media, vegetation and a saturated zone (SZ) in achieving co-optimised nitrogen and phosphorus removal in biofilters. Twenty biofilter columns were monitored over a 12-month period of dosing with semi-synthetic stormwater. The frequency of dosing was altered seasonally to examine the impact of hydrologic variability. Very good nutrient removal (90% total phosphorus, 89% total nitrogen) could be achieved by incorporating vegetation, an SZ and Skye sand, a naturally occurring iron-rich filter medium. This design maintained nutrient removal at or below water quality guideline concentrations throughout the experiment, demonstrating resilience to wetting–drying fluctuations. The results also highlighted the benefit of including an SZ to maintain treatment performance over extended dry periods. These findings represent progress towards designing biofilters which co-optimise nitrogen and phosphorus removal and comply with water quality guidelines.

The State of Maryland Legislature enacted the Water Quality Improvement Act in 1998, which requires all agricultural operations to develop and implement nitrogen- and phosphorus-based nutrient management plans by December 2002. This legislation also mandates the education and training of professionals who will write nutrient management plans, and growers who will implement them. Maryland Cooperative Extension faculty have therefore been charged with developing effective educational programs that will enable nursery and greenhouse industry professionals to achieve these goals and ensure industry compliance with this legislation.

The German design guideline A 131 “Design of single stage activated sludge plants” was amended in 1999. The main changes of the guideline from 1991 are outlined. The design procedure for plants with nitrogen and phosphorus removal is presented.
