Nitrite Accumulation at Low Ammonia Concentrations in Wastewater Treatment Plants
At higher ammonium concentrations, nitritation can be easily attained by picking out the inhibitor. In low-concentrated reactors, nitrite accumulation without using any chemical inhibitor is a challenging process. In this study, two continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) with biofilm and without biofilm were operated with total ammonium nitrogen feed concentrations of ~50 mg/L and ~30 mg/L and effluent concentrations of ~1 mg/L. A CSTR without biofilm was operated in three phases. In phase 1, a substrate-shock concentration of 1 to 2000 mg total ammonium nitrogen (TAN)/L was tested. It was found that the shock concentration was not successful in long-term operations because nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) recovered rapidly. In phases 2 and 3, the sludge-treatment method was applied, and a high nitrite accumulation efficiency was achieved (~98%). In a CSTR with biofilm, the free ammonia shock concentration was ~91.7 mg/L, and a nitrite accumulation efficiency of ~90% was achieved.
