Denitrifiction MBBR could be used for WWTP effluent reuse

The full‐scale MBBRs had also been applied since 1997 & 1999 for post denitrification in Sjölunda and Klagshamn WWTPs of Malmö City, Sweden, and the effluent TN could met the WWTP limitation (Mases et al. 2010).

COD removal

  • The CODCr removal were 53.3±44.9%, 52.5±30.6%, 65.5±18.6% and

63.8±19.5%, which indicated that the temperature had little effect on the COD removal

  • In batch tests, the CODcr removal were steady after 5h operation, and the

CODCr removal rate increased gradually with the temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30.

The content of narG, nirS and nosZ genes at 13 and 19 conditions were higher than those under 25 and 30. The highest abundance of narG, nirS and nosZ genes, i.e. 2.04×109 , 1.95×109 and 1.63×107copies/g-SS, were achieved at 13, 19 and 13 respectively, which were consistent with the long 12h HRT compensation.

CONCLUSIONS

  • 1. The NO3
  • -N removal and denitrification rate were not influenced by the

temperature of 13, 19, 25 and 30 at 12h HRT for polyethylene MBBR, the NO3

  • -N removal rate were 82.9±26.7 %, 80.1±27.2 %, 85.0±22.3 % and

82.9±13.3%. The long HRT of 12h may compensate for the denitrification ability of low temperature, which resulted the similar nitrate removal and denitrification rate at different temperatures.

  • 2. The effluent COD could meet the Class IV limitation of Environmental

Quality Standards for Surface Water (GB 3838-2002). Three-dimensional fluorescence spectra showed that both of the MBBR influent and effluent contained DOM, such as fulvic acid-like and tryptophan-like substance, etc., and the total fluorescence intensity removal were 47.6%, 49.0%, 50.5% and 52.5%, respectively, at different temperatures.

  • 3. The abundance of narG, nirS and nosZ gene at 13 and 19

conditions were higher than those under 25 and 30. The highest abundance of narG and nosZ genes, i.e. 2.04×109 and 1.63×107copies/g-SS were achieved at 13, which were consistent with the long 12h HRT compensation. The abundance of narG nitrate- reducing gene and nirS nitrite-reducing gene were both greater than that of nosZ nitrous oxide reducing gene.

  • 4. Considering the nitrogen, organic pollutants removal efficiency and

denitrification genes abundance as a whole, 25 was the optimum temperature for nitrogen removal of WWTP effluent by denitrification MBBR.
