The aim of this study is to investigate the pollutant loading of two-stage biological aerated filter in series. We choose Shenyang Xiannhe wastewater treatment plant as research site. By testing pollutant loading under conditions of the same hydraulic loading and different hydraulic loading respectively, we discovered that there was great difference between the 1st filter and the 2nd filter. COD loading of the 1st filter varied from 2.0 m-3.d-1 to 6.0 m-3.d-1,however NH4-H loading was more complex with NH4-H remove rate being negative in most cases . COD loading of 2nd filter was from 0.2 m-3.d-1to 1.5 m-3.d-1,and NH4-H loading was from 0.4 m-3.d-1 to 1.5 m-3.d-1. Key words: biological aerated filter;pollutant loading.

Hydrolysis acidification / pre-denitrification biological aerated filter was adopted in a domestic wastewater treatment plant. The effluent was accorded with a standard in the Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard(GB18918-2002), in which the effluent phosphorus was demanded below 0.5mg/L. Through analysis on the process biological phosphorus removal, biological method can be found to total phosphorus 1.5 mg/L. If you reach level to an emissions standards, phosphorus chemical experiment research, finally determined by strategy for the CN pool, point for adding potions FeCl3, dosing quantity for 35mg/L.

The two-stage activated sludge process (AB-process, i.e. adsorption activated sludge process) invented by Boehnke was successfully applied to several municipal and industrial wastewaters in Korea. The first large wastewater treatment plant for the combined effluents of 22 textile dyeing companies was constructed in Taegu and started operation in 1989. Two years earlier pilot plant runs were performed. The AB-process proved to be superior to any other activated sludge process. BOD was reduced from 1200 mg/l down to 24 mg/l. In the meantime in Korea several further AB-process treatment plants were constructed, the overall planning and constructing period being not longer than one year.

The report describes low-cost development and design of a two-stage wastewater treatment plant for 90,000 PE to achieve the highest possible degree of phosphorus and nitrogen elimination. The receiving water body of the treatment plant is a small watercourse fed almost exclusively by treated wastewater. A significant improvement in the water quality of this watercourse is planned. In particular, the performance of the wastewater treatment plant will need to be enhanced. The plant operator, the Erft River Board, organized a competition to attract solutions for an appropriate development of the plant from several consultants. Apart from embodying the concept of extensive wastewater treatment, designs were expected to preserve the existing infrastructure of the two-stage treatment plant as far as possible. Following selection of the most suitable design, the intended process technology is currently being tested in a pilot-scale plant. Planning envisages advanced wastewater treatment processes, including enhanced biological phosphorus removal, chemical precipitation/flocculation, nitrification and denitrification and combined coagulation/filtration. The pilot-scale investigations are carried out in close co-operation between the water authorities, the plant operators, the consultant, and a university institute of sanitary engineering. The paper presents the design and first results of the pilot-scale investigations in terms of the parameters BOD5, COD, phosphorus, ammonia and nitrate.

A pilot-scale, two-stage (carbon oxidation stage one, ammonia oxidation stage two) fixed film biological aerated filter (BAF) process was operated during the wintertime on-site at a domestic wastewater treatment plant. Over the study period, hydraulic loadings to the system were varied and generated a range of organic and ammonia loading conditions. Nitrification performance was monitored based on water quality along the length of the filters, effluent water quality, and activity levels of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria within the biofilm using an oligonucleotide probe. Overall nitrification efficiency for wintertime conditions (average temperature 12.4 ± 0.1°C) was greater than 90 percent when ammonia-N loadings to the second stage were 0.6 kg/m3-day or less. Nitrification efficiency started to deteriorate at loadings beyond this point. Biofilm and liquid samples were collected along the distance of the two columns at high and low ammonia loadings. The degree of activity observed by ammonia oxidizing bacteria in the biofilm corresponded with the disappearance of ammonia and the generation of nitrate as water passed through the columns. The zones of ammonia oxidizing activity progressed along the length of the columns as organic and ammonia loadings to the system increased. The oligonucleotide probe data suggest that this shift in the location of the nitrifier population is due to higher BOD loads to the second stage, which supported higher levels of heterotrophic growth in the column.
