Abstract

Nitrogen removal and transformation for low carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio by SND in an integrated reactor were studied and analyzed. Results showed that total nitrogen (TN) and ammonia were decreased to 3.4 mg/L and 2.5 mg/L from 20±2 mg/L and 15±2 mg/L, respectively, at the conditions of DO=1.4-1.7 mg/L, HRT=18 h (7.2 h in the first reaction zone), C/N=5.Long-running experiment showed that TN and ammonia in effluent were stabilized in 1.4-4.7 mg/L and 0.8-3.0 mg/L and the removal rate were in 80.2%-94.9% and 76.5%-93.2%, respectively. KNH+4-N=1.34 mg/L, KNO-3-N=0.71 mg/L and n=0.6224 were obtained by simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) dynamic model solving. The results indicated that nitrogen in low C/N ratio wastewater could be efficiently removed by SND system in the integrated reactor and the SND system was of operation stability and the ability to resist shock loading. The proposed technology was applicable for advanced nitrogen removal of low C/N ratio small discharge from small town.
