The effects of the flow pattern on organic oxidation and nitrification in aerated submerged biofilters

Previous research has shown that a submerged biofilter is effective in removing organic matter and total organic nitrogen. Upflow and downflow biofilters were set up to investigate the different oxidative efficiencies on organic matter and ammonia nitrogen of different biofilter positions and to com...

520 |a Previous research has shown that a submerged biofilter is effective in removing organic matter and total organic nitrogen. Upflow and downflow biofilters were set up to investigate the different oxidative efficiencies on organic matter and ammonia nitrogen of different biofilter positions and to compare the biological activities of the upflow and downflow patterns. A comparison of the operational characteristics of the two types of biofilters is discussed. The main COD removal zone is 0-20 cm in the upflow biofilter, but in the downflow biofilter it occurs in the submerged zone. The nitrification process is dependent on the HRT and the residual COD. In the downflow biofilter, the efficiency of the nitrification increases with the HRT. The growth of nitrifying bacteria has a tendency to take place in higher zones in the downflow biofilter, especially for a longer HRT. Batch tests measured the biological activity of heterotrophs and nitrifying autotrophs with decomposition rates. In the upflow biofilter, the nitrification rates increased while the COD oxidative rates decreased with the height of the biofilter, so the effect of the HRT on the activity of the nitrifying autotrophs is significant. However, in the down biofilter, the activity of the nitrifying autotrophs was similar at different heights in the same HRT runs with the maximum nitrifying autotrophs activity being at an HRT of 6 hours
