Effects of hydraulic loading rate and aeration mode on nitrogen removal and nitrogen functional gene abundances in subsurface wastewater infiltration systems.
Matrix dissolved oxygen, nitrogen removal and nitrogen functional gene abundances in two artificial aeration modes, continuous aeration (CA) and intermittent aeration (IA), in subsurface wastewater infiltration systems (SWISs) under different hydraulic loading rates (HLRs) were investigated. Aeration not only successfully created aerobic conditions at 50 cm depth, but also did not change anoxic or anaerobic conditions at 80 and 110 cm depths. Meanwhile, aeration significantly enhanced chemical oxygen demand, NH4 + -N, and total nitrogen (TN) removal and the enrichment of nitrogen removal functional genes (amoA, nxrA, napA, narG, nirK and qnorB) compared to the non-aerated SWIS, especially for high HLRs. IA SWIS (79.7%-85.8%) had a better performance on TN removal compared with CA SWIS (73.8%-82.2%) when the HLRs ranged from 0.06 to 0.3 m3 /(m2 d). Intermittent aeration is a sensible strategy to achieve high HLR, good nitrogen removal performance and comparatively low operation cost for SWISs.
