Intermittent aeration is favorable for maintaining a long-term sewage partial nitrification-anammox (PN/ A) process but the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood. In this study, mainstream PN/A was established in an integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) PN/A reactor and nitrite oxidization bacteria (NOB) activity was continuously suppressed. The suppression of NOB was significantly affected by the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration during the aeration period as well as the duration of anoxic period. NOB was more suppressed in the hybrid system under a low DO level (0.5 mg/L) than under a high DO level (1.5-1.8 mg/L). Meanwhile, shortening the anoxic time from 40 to 20 min and keeping low DO during the intermittent aeration cycle could still suppress NOB activity, increasing the nitrogen removal rate by 40%. Biomass segregation was also enhanced by low DO, which favors the NOB inhibition in IFAS PN/A system. Overall, under an optimized intermittent aeration, a stable and high nitrogen removal efficiency (80-89%) with a nitrogen removal rate of 0.101 kg-N/(m(3).d). This study is useful to supports the application of PN/A in sewage treatment. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Extremely acidic condition (pH<1.0) as a novel strategy to achieve high-efficient hydrogen sulfide removal in biotrickling filter: Biomass accumulation, sulfur oxidation pathway and microbial analysis

Tipei Jia, Shihao Sun, Qi Zhao, Yongzhen Peng, Liang Zhang

Summary: This study investigated H2S removal and biomass variations in a biotrickling filter (BTF) under highly acidic conditions. The results showed that the BTF achieved efficient H2S removal at pH 0.5-1.0, and the enrichment of acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) in the acidic biofilm maintained the balance of the biofilm thickness, ensuring oxygen transfer and H2S oxidation.

Insights into the mechanism of the deterioration of mainstream partial nitritation/anammox under low residual ammonium

Yandong Yang, Yiming Jiang, Yanan Long, Jiarui Xu, Changqing Liu, Liang Zhang, Yongzhen Peng

Summary: This study investigates the impact of residual ammonium on the stability of mainstream partial nitritation/anammox (PN/A) systems and reveals that low ammonium conditions lead to a decline in anammox activity and increased nitrite oxidation rate. The study provides insights for the optimized design of mainstream PN/A systems in engineering applications.

The successful integration of anammox to enhance the operational stability and nitrogen removal efficiency during municipal wastewater treatment

Xinjie Gao, Liang Zhang, Yongzhen Peng, Jing Ding, Zeming An

Summary: The study found that stable nitrogen removal can be achieved in the anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic process by directly integrating stable anammox. The anammox activity compensates for the effects of low temperatures and low C/N ratios on nitrification and denitrification, leading to a stable nitrogen removal efficiency.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of seasonal temperature variations on the performance of a biotrickling filter system in removing hydrogen sulfide from air. It is found that the system achieves the highest removal efficiency at temperatures of 10-12 degrees Celsius. The accelerated growth of biofilm, enhanced biofilm adhesion capacity, and sulfur accumulation contribute to heat retention in cold conditions.

Ultra-high nitrogen removal from real municipal wastewater using selective enhancement of glycogen accumulating organisms (GAOs) in a partial nitrification-anammox (PNA) system

Hanbin Wang, Liang Zhang, Qiongpeng Dan, Yingxin Zhang, Shuying Wang, Qiong Zhang, Xiyao Li, Chuanxin Wang, Yongzhen Peng

Summary: Integrating endogenous denitrification (ED) into partial nitrification-anammox (PNA) systems using organic matter in municipal wastewater effectively improves nitrogen removal efficiency. A novel strategy was adopted to inhibit phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs) by inducing phosphorus release and exclusion, optimizing organics allocation between PAOs and glycogen-accumulating organisms (GAOs). This study achieved an NRE of 97.5 +/- 2.2% and effluent total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) of less than 2.0 mg/L using enhanced ED-synergized anammox for real municipal wastewater treatment.

Development of Fouling-Control Strategy for Ceramic Membrane Bioreactor Applied in Partial Nitrification Process

Bingxin Li, Ruochen Wang, Weiwei Zuo, Yi Peng, Dong An, Liang Zhang, Zheng Ge

Summary: A lab-scale ceramic membrane bioreactor (MBR) with an active membrane-fouling control system was developed for the partial nitrification (PN) process. The in situ membrane cleaning method was used for uninterrupted removal of contaminants on the membrane surface. The device increased critical flux, reduced gel layer resistance (R-g), and internal resistance (R-i) of the flat-sheet ceramic membrane by inhibiting cake layer formation. In long-term experiments, nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) were successfully suppressed, achieving high nitrite accumulation rate (NAR) of up to 90.09%. The maintained balance between effluent NO2--N/NH4+-N ratios would promote the proliferation of Anammox bacteria and the autotrophic nitrogen removal (ANR) process. Moreover, in situ cleaning significantly reduced energy input from aeration and ensured stable PN performance by avoiding over aeration.

A novel two-stage aerobic granular sludge system for simultaneous nutrient removal from municipal wastewater with low C/N ratios

Yandong Yang, Yongzhen Peng, Jun Cheng, Shujun Zhang, Changqing Liu, Liang Zhang

Summary: A novel two-stage aerobic granular sludge (AGS) system was developed for municipal wastewater treatment, achieving high removal efficiencies of phosphorus (91%) and nitrogen (81%) with a low influent carbon/nitrogen ratio. The high nutrient removal was attributed to microbial segregation in the two SBRs. The first reactor promoted enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) with the high abundance of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (Candidatus Accumulibacter 15.3%), while the second reactor removed residual ammonium via partial nitritation/ anammox (PN/A). The system also facilitated sludge maintenance and reduced settling time, providing opportunities for resource and bioenergy recovery.

Zhaoyang Li, Liang Zhang, Yongzhen Peng, Jialin Li

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between the performance and ecological features of a one-stage partial nitritation and anammox system disturbed by oxygen. The disturbance resulted in an irreversible deterioration of nitrogen removal rate and reduced richness and evenness of the microbial community. Additionally, the community structure changed and 234 operational taxonomic units were depleted. The study highlights the importance of ecological features in diagnosing, predicting, and optimizing the performance of partial nitritation and anammox systems.
