EXTENDED ABSTRACT For nitrogen rich streams, conventional biological treatment based on nitrification and denitrification usually lacks of efficiency and requires considerable amounts of an external carbon source to be supplied; on the other hand, physical-chemical processes are characterized by high operating costs. The possible application of partial nitritation SHARON (Single reactor for Hig...

This study investigated the influence of dissolved oxygen concentration and aeration time on nitrification and nitrite accumulation in an attempt to optimize the recently developed biological-partial-nitritation process for the treatment of strong nitrogen wastewaters. Investigation of dissolved oxygen concentration on ammonium and nitrite oxidation was carried out in a batch reactor. The disso...

Oxygen-limited autotrophic nitrification/denitrification (OLAND) is a one-stage combination of partial nitritation and anammox, which can have a challenging process start-up. In this study, start-up strategies were tested for sequencing batch reactors (SBR), varying hydraulic parameters, i.e. volumetric exchange ratio (VER) and feeding regime, and salinity. Two sequential tests with two paralle...
