Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) via the nitrite pathway and anaerobic–anoxic enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) are two processes that can significantly reduce the COD demand for nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The combination of these two processes has the potential of achieving simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal with a minimal requirement for COD. A lab-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated in alternating anaerobic–aerobic mode with a low dissolved oxygen concentration (DO, 0.5 mg/L) during the aerobic period, and was demonstrated to accomplish nitrification, denitrification and phosphorus removal. Under anaerobic conditions, COD was taken up and converted to polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), accompanied with phosphorus release. In the subsequent aerobic stage, PHA was oxidized and phosphorus was taken up to less than 0.5 mg/L at the end of the cycle. Ammonia was also oxidised during the aerobic period, but without accumulation of nitrite or nitrate in the system, indicating the occurrence of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification. However, off-gas analysis found that the final denitrification product was mainly nitrous oxide (N2O) not N2. Further experimental results demonstrated that nitrogen removal was via nitrite, not nitrate. These experiments also showed that denitrifying glycogen-accumulating organisms rather than denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating organisms were responsible for the denitrification activity.

This study filled polyurethane foam in SBR as micro-organisms immobilized carrier, formed a sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR). It applies the immobilized microbial technology to SBBR, under the A/O operation mode,we cultivate them in order to study the effect of the technology of nitrogen and phosphorus removal in the domestic sewage. The carrier which was used in the SBBR, created aerobic - anoxic - anaerobic micro-environment in space, and appeared a good performance of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND). The results show that adding this kind of carriers in SBBR, successfully achieved a goal in the field of nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The average removal rates of CODCr, NH4+-N, TN and TP is respectively 84.23%、96.94%、58.40% and 91.38%.

Nitrogen removal via nitrite has recently gained a lot of interest because it results in significant savings in both aeration costs and COD (chemical oxygen demand) requirements for denitrification, when compared to the conventional biological nitrogen removal via nitrate. The effectiveness of two different control strategies to achieve the nitrite pathway in systems with sludge retention has been experimentally demonstrated: (i) control of aerobic phase length, with which aeration is terminated as soon as ammonia is completely oxidised; (ii) operation at low DO setpoints in the aerobic phase. These strategies have been extensively studied in nitrifying reactors and are currently applied in real systems achieving biological carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus removal. In this work, we aim to demonstrate, through modelling and simulation, that the competition between nitrite reducers and nitrite oxidisers for nitrite, rather than kinetic selection plays a major role in NOB washout. Moreover, the results show that the occurrence of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification under “aerobic” conditions is very helpful for the nitrite pathway obtainment and for a more efficient COD utilisation.

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.
