The treatment performance and biofilm development of the start-up stage in an up-flow Biological Aerated Filter (BAF) with composite steel slag media is investigated, while the operating conditions is HRT 2h, temperature 23-27°C, DO 3-5mg/L. The results showed that the composite steel slag media BAF could be secussfuly operated in a short time, while the phosphorus could be removed 90% in 8 days as well as the ammonia nitrogen and COD could be removed 80% in 25 days after the beginning of reactor start-up. At the same time, the biofilm on the carrier could be observed and a lot of protozoa population, such as Rotifera, Vorticellidae and Parameciidae, could be characteristiced with optical microscope in the BAF system. It is conclued that the operation of the composite steel slag media BAF for nitrogen and phosphorus removal could be carried out quickly and conveniently, and provided a unique advantage for the future application.

To improve the efficiency of low-strength domestic wastewater treatment, an immobilised-microorganism biological aerated filter (I-BAF) was established for simultaneous carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The I-BAF performance was systematically evaluated under continuous and intermittent aeration modes. At the optimal condition with an intermittent aeration control schedule of 2 h on/1 h off, the maximum removal rates of COD, NH4+-N, TN and P were 82.54%, 94.83%, 51.85% and 61.49%, respectively, and the corresponding averaged effluents could meet the first class standards of China. Further analysis of PCR-DGGE profile revealed that members of the gamma and alpha proteobacterium bacterial groups were probably responsible for the nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The I-BAF system showed excellent performance in carbon and nutrients removal, which provided a cost-effective solution for the treatment of low-strength domestic wastewater.

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.

Abstract The environmental problems related to rural domestic sewage treatment are becoming increasingly serious, and society is also concerned about them. A baffled vertical flow constructed wetland (BVFCW) is a good choice for cleaning wastewater. Herein, a drinking-water treatment sludge-BVFCW (D-BVFCW) parallel with ceramsite-BVFCW (C-BVFCW) planted with Oenanthe javanica (O. javanica) to treat rural domestic sewage was investigated, aiming to compare nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency in different BVFCWs. A removal of 23.9% NH4+-N, 24.6% total nitrogen (TN) and 76.7% total phosphorus (TP) occurred simultaneously in the D-BVFCW; 56.4% NH4+-N, 60.8% TN and 55.2% TP respectively in the C-BVFCW. The root and plant height increased by an average of 7.9 cm and 8.3 cm, respectively, in the D-BVFCW, and by 0.7 cm and 1.1 cm, respectively, in the C-BVFCW. These results demonstrate that the D-BVFCW and C-BVFCW have different effects on the removal of N and P. The D-BVFCW mainly removed P, while C-BVFCW mainly removed N.

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.

A submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) was operated in 2-stage intermittent aeration for simultaneous removal of organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus. The system consists of two reactors with a total volume of 0.27 m3 (1st reactor 0.09 m3 and 2nd 0.18 m3). Real domestic wastewater was used as influent to the system. Membrane used for this experiment was hollow fiber polyethylene membrane with pore size of 0.1μm and effective surface area, 4 m2. The membrane was submerged in the 2nd reactor for suction type filtration. Experiment was carried out in two phases varying the time cycles of aeration and non-aeration. SRT was maintained at 25 days and HRT, 16–19 hours. MLSS concentration in the reactors was in the range of 2,700–3,400 mg/l. The MLSS internal recycling ratio was maintained at 100% of influent flow rate. When time cycles of aeration and non-aeration were set at 30/90 min and 60/60 min in reactor 1 and 2, the removal of BOD and COD was 98.3% and 95.6%, respectively. A relatively low nitrogen and phosphorus removal was observed in this condition (73.6% as T–N and 46.6% as T–P). However, with 60/60 min intermittent aeration conditions for both reactors, the removal rate of nitrogen and phosphorus for two weeks steady state were enhanced to 91.6% as TN and 66% as TP, respectively. Further a high organic removal (98% BOD and 96.2% COD) was achieved too. In these conditions, the membrane of flux declined from 0.1 m/d to 0.08 m/d and suction filtration was at 10–12 kPa for a month long operation period.

The volume ratio of anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic was an important factor for the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus in the A2/O process. A pilot plant of A2/O process was built in Xi’an to do the research about the influence on nitrogen and phosphorus removal when the volume ratio of anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic was changed. When the HRT was 10.1h and the volume rate of anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic was 1/1.7/2.4, the removal rate of COD didn’t raise substantially than that of normal volume ratio A2/O process, the removal rate average value of TN and phosphorus were 61.5% and 85.4% respectively. On this condition, the HRT in aerobic zone shorted to 4.7h, energy was saved about 33.8% in comparing with that of conventional volume ratio A2/O process.

Because of increased effluent quality standards the central sewage treatment plant (STP) of Stolberg is upgraded into a two stage plant according to the AB-process. Special peculiarities of the rebuilding are several combined technologies for nitrogen and phosphorus removal and for the optimization of sludge treatment including energy recovery. Apart from special features of construction and machinery a remarkable process control system is installed, which operates with several linked personal computers instead of a main frame process computer. At the beginning of the reconstruction tests were carried out in a semitechnical pilot plant. Results of these tests as well as first operation results of the large STP allow a good adjustment of the especially high quality standards to be expected.
