Zusammenfassung: | © 2023 The Authors. Water Environment Research published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of Water Environment Federation. The integration of biological phosphorus removal (bio-P) and shortcut nitrogen removal (SNR) processes is challenging because of the conflicting demands on influent carbon: SNR allows for upstream carbon diversion, but this reduction of influent carbon (especially volatile fatty acids [VFAs]) prevents or limits bio-P. The objective of this study was to achieve SNR, either via partial nitritation/anammox (PNA) or partial denitrification/anammox (PdNA), simultaneously with biological phosphorus removal in a process with upstream carbon capture. This study took place in a pilot scale A/B process with a sidestream bio-P reactor and tertiary anammox polishing. Despite low influent rbCOD concentrations from the A-stage effluent, bio-P occurred in the B-stage thanks to the addition of A-stage WAS fermentate to the sidestream reactor. Nitrite accumulation occurred in the B-stage via partial denitrification and partial nitritation (NOB out-selection), depending on operational conditions, and was removed along with ammonia by the tertiary anammox MBBR, with the ability to achieve effluent TIN less than 2 mg/L. PRACTITIONER POINTS: A sidestream reactor with sufficient fermentate addition enables biological phosphorus removal in a B-stage system with little-to-no influent VFA. Enhanced biological phosphorus removal is not inhibited by intermittent aeration and is stable at a wide range of process SRTs. Partial nitritation and partial denitrification are viable routes to produce nitrite within an A/B process with sidestream bio-P, for downstream anammox in a polishing MBBR |
