Advancing full-scale partial denitrification-anammox (PdNA) filters: design and operation guidelines

Conference 95th Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference Weftec 2022 · January 1, 2022 Applying partial denitrification-anammox (PdNA) in deep-bed polishing filters would allow nitrogen removal in a more sustainable and cost-effective way. Full-scale implementation of PdNA filters has not been widely done despite the potential that PdNA offe ... Cite

Carbon Source Selection for Deep-bed Partial Denitrification – Anammox (PdNA) Polishing Filters

Conference 94th Annual Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference Weftec 2021 · January 1, 2021 Applying partial denitrification – anammox (PdNA) in polishing filters as a final treatment step would allow stringent nitrogen limits to be met while minimizing the use of external carbon for denitrification. This study showed the comparison of methanol v ... Cite

Partial denitrification – anammox (PdNA) implementation in polishing filters: Performance and Phosphorus limitations

Conference 93rd Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference 2020 Weftec 2020 · January 1, 2020 Development of a partial denitrification – anammox (PdNA) biofiltration strategy as a final treatment step would allow stringent nitrogen limits to be met while minimizing the use of external carbon for denitrification. For plants that are also required to ... Cite

Quantifying and assessing wet-weather resilience of urban water resource recovery facilities

Conference 93rd Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference 2020 Weftec 2020 · January 1, 2020 There is a need to advance the resilience of wastewater treatment systems to extreme weather events because many cities are expected to experience an increase in intensity of extreme rain events coupled with a decrease in the number of rainy days [1]. In t ... Cite

Media selection for enrichment of anammox in polishing filters

Conference Weftec 2019 92nd Annual Water Environment Federation S Technical Exhibition and Conference · January 1, 2019 Application of short-cut nitrogen removal strategies at treatment plants that are required to meet very low total nitrogen limits has driven the need for development of polishing technologies that achieve simultaneous removal of ammonium and nitrate from w ...

Sensor-mediated control for aerobic granular sludge process treating mainstream anaerobic effluent

Conference 91st Annual Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference Weftec 2018 · January 1, 2019 The aim of this study is to develop a sensor-mediated control strategy with an aerobic granular sludge reactor (GSR) for mainstream energy efficient nitrogen removal. A bench-scale aerobic GSR was constructed and operated for over 450 days while treating s ... Cite

The membrane aerated biofilm reactor for nitrogen removal from mainstream anaerobic processes

Conference Weftec 2016 89th Water Environment Federation Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference · January 1, 2016 This study evaluates the membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) for nitrogen removal following anaerobic treatment of domestic wastewater. The MABR has low-energy demands, a small footprint, and limited gaseous stripping. This study integrates a lab-scale ... Cite

Nutrient removal from mainstream anaerobic processes using a membrane biofilm reactor and a granular sludge sequencing batch reactor

Conference 88th Annual Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference Weftec 2015 · January 1, 2015 Mainstream anaerobic treatment provides low-energy wastewater treatment; however, for wide-scale adoption, nitrogen removal must be considered. Anaerobic effluents contain ammonia, volatile organics, methane, and sulfide which could be used to support nitr ... Full text Cite
