RESUMO

Anammox-based nitrogen removal and enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) are increasingly applied for nutrient removal from wastewater, but are typically operated in separate reactors. Here, a novel process for integrated partial nitritation/anammox (PN/A) and EBPR in a single reactor employing integrated fixed film activated sludge was tested. The reactor was fed with mainstream municipal wastewater (5.4 ± 1.3 g COD/g N) at 20 °C for 243 days. Robust ammonium, total inorganic nitrogen, and orthophosphate removal efficiencies of 94 ± 4 %, 87 ± 7 % and 92 ± 7 % were achieved. Nitrite-oxidizing organisms suppression and ammonia-oxidizing organisms retention were achieved via solids retention time control, intermittent aeration, and suspended versus attached biomass population segregation. The contribution of anammox to nitrogen removal increased from 24 % to 74 %. In parallel, a substantial enrichment of Tetrasphaera polyphosphate accumulating organisms was observed. This work demonstrates a novel intensified bioprocess coupling PN/A and EBPR in the same reactor for efficient nutrient removal from wastewater.

RESUMO

Water resource recovery facilities are faced with stringent effluent phosphorus limits to reduce nutrient pollution. Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is the most common biological route to remove phosphorus; however, many facilities struggle to achieve consistent performance due to limited carbon availability in the influent wastewater. A promising process to improve carbon availability is through return activated sludge (RAS) fermentation via sidestream EBPR (S2EBPR). In this study, a full-scale S2EBPR pilot was operated with a sidestream plus carbon configuration (SSRC) at a carbon-limited facility. A model based on the pilot test was developed and calibrated in the SUMO platform and used to explore routes for improving orthophosphate (OP) effluent compliance. Modeling results showed that RAS diversion by itself was not sufficient to drive OP removal to permit limits of 1 mg L-1, therefore, other strategies were evaluated. Supplemental carbon addition of MicroC® at 1.90 L min-1 and controlling the phosphorus concentration below 3.5 mgP L-1 in the primary effluent (PE) proved to be valid supplemental strategies to achieve OP removal below 1 mg L-1 most of the time. In particular, the proposed supplemental carbon flow rate would result in an improvement of the rbCOD:P ratio from 17:1 to 26:1. The synergistic approach of RAS diversion and supplemental carbon addition increased the polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAO) population while minimizing the supplemental carbon needed to achieve consistent phosphorus removal. Overall, this pilot and modeling study shows that joint strategies, including RAS diversion, carbon addition and PE control, can be effective to achieve optimal control of OP effluent.
