Comparison and strategy of nitrogen removal at different low temperatures in a pilot-scale A 2 /O system.
Environmental Technology 2018 March 6
To ensure low effluent total nitrogen (TN ≤ 15 mg L-1 ) and NH3 -N( ≤ 5 mg L-1 ) at low temperatures (8.8-14.7°C), a pilot-scale A2 /O system with a low return activated sludge (200%) was employed to seek the optimal operation strategy. In the 90 days' experiment, the tests were separated into three stages (14.2°C, 11.0°C, and 9.1°C), and the 49 samples were analysed. Our results showed that the nitrification was remarkably inhibited when the temperature was below 10°C, while the denitrification was remarkably inhibited at the temperatures of 10-15°C. Once the effluent NH3 -N concentration was over 2.5 mg L-1 , or [Formula: see text] concentration was over 13 mg L-1 , the effluent TN would be in excess of 15 mg L-1 . When the temperature was over 10°C, increasing dissolved oxygen (DO) was an optimal strategy to reduce the effluent NH3 -N; nevertheless, when the temperature was below 10°C, simultaneously increasing DO and MLVSS would be carried out due to the low max. nitrification rates (36.0 mg (g-1 d-1 )). If the carbon source (CODcr/[Formula: see text] ratio ≥ 7.3) was enough, increasing MLVSS was an effective method to relieve the negative influence of low temperature on denitrification.
