  1. 1. Nitritation and denitritation in sludge liquor treatment

    Author : David Gustavsson; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nitritation; denitritation; nitrous oxide; nitric oxide; nitrogen dioxide; wastewater; sludge liquor;

    Abstract : Enhanced biological nitrogen removal at municipal wastewater treatment plants is a common procedure to prevent eutrophication in water bodies. Increased load, stricter effluent regulations, and demands for reduced resource and energy consumption present new challenges for the wastewater treatment plants. READ MORE

  2. 2. New Dimensions of Moving Bed Biofilm Carriers : Influence of biofilm thickness and control possibilities

    Author : MARIA PICULELL; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biofilm control; biofilm thickness; biological wastewater treatment; carrier; moving bed biofilm reactor; nitrification; nitritation; organic removal; process optimization; scaling; suspended growth;

    Abstract : The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) is a biological wastewater treatment process in which microorganisms grow as biofilms on suspended carriers. Conventionally, MBBRs are mainly designed and optimized based on the carrier surface area, neglecting the dynamic relationship between carrier design, reactor operation and biofilm characteristics, such as biofilm thickness and the composition of the microbial community.

  3. 3. Performance and control of biofilm systems with partial nitritation and Anammox for supernatant treatment

    Author : Beata Szatkowska; Elzbieta Plaza; Bengt Hultman; Peter Balmér; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; alkalinity; Anammox; conductivity; partial nitritation; pH; removal rate; supernatant; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Separate treatment of supernatant with dewatering of digested sludge with application of partial nitritation/Anammox process is assessed to be a cost-effective way to remove about 10-15% of influent nitrogen and, thereby, facilitate possibilities to reach required effluent requirements from the plant. The combined partial nitritation/Anammox process can be performed in two separate reactors or in one-stage. READ MORE

  4. 4. Assessment of a partial nitritation/Anammox system for nitrogen removal

    Author : Luiza Gut; Elzbieta Plaza; Joanna Surmacz-Gorska; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biofilm; Deammonification; Nitrogen removal; Oxygen Uptake Rate OUR ; Partial nitritation Anammox system; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the performance of a deammonification system designed as a two-step tech-nology consisting of an initial partial nitritation followed by an Anammox process. Operation of a technical-scale pilot plant at the Himmerfjärden Wastewater Treatment Plant (Grödinge, Swe-den) has been assessed. READ MORE

  5. 5. Ammonium removal from municipal wastewater with application of ion exchange and partial nitritation/Anammox process

    Author : Andriy Malovanyy; Elzbieta Plaza; Andrei Zagorodni; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wastewater; nitrogen removal; ion exchange; nitritation; Anammox;

    Abstract : Nitrogen removal from municipal wastewater with application of Anammox process offers cost reduction, especially if it is combined with maximal use of organic content of wastewater for biogas production. In this study a new technology is proposed, which is based on ammonium concentration from municipal wastewater by ion exchange followed by biological removal of ammonium from the concentrated stream by partial nitritation/Anammox process.
