  • Publication number: 20220144678
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for removing nitrogen and phosphorus from sewage and wastewater through a combination of a biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal process using nitrite nitrogen and an anaerobic ammonium oxidation process. An objective of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for removing nitrogen and phosphorus in which, by inducing a denitritation- and nitritation-based biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal process in a bioreactor and applying an anaerobic ammonium oxidation process, nitrogen and phosphorus can be economically and effectively removed without separately injecting organic materials.

  • Patent number: 10899642
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wastewater treatment apparatus for shortcut nitrogen removal using anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) and partial nitritation using ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) granules. High-purity AOB granules are formed by means of AOB predominance using a side stream generated during a sludge treatment process. Moreover, the formed AOB granules are supplied to a partial nitritation tank (130) of a main treatment process and thus the partial nitritation is efficiently performed and nitrogen is quickly removed, and thus oxygen and an organic material is reduced compared to an existing method.

  • Patent number: 10556816
    Abstract: A waste water treatment includes a biological filtration tank, a nitritation tank, and an anammox tank. The biological filtration tank performs biological filtration as a pretreatment process with regard to influent waste water and removes solids and organic matters. The nitritation tank performs a nitritation process with regard to waste water flowing from the biological filtration tank and supplies an electron acceptor needed for removing the organic matter in the biological filtration tank by returning some of the waste water back to the biological filtration tank. The anammox tank performs an anaerobic ammonium oxidizing process with regard to the waste water received from the biological filtration tank and the nitritation tank.

  • Publication number: 20190367399
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nitrogen-rich wastewater treatment apparatus using a partial nitritation sequencing batch reactor (SBR) tank, ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) granules and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX). AOB granules can efficiently be formed by means of a sludge exchange between the SBR tank and an AOB granule production tank. Moreover, partial nitritation is performed by means of allowing the AOB granules to flow into the SBR tank again, nitrogen is quickly removed by means of ANAMMOX without a supply of an external carbon source, and oxygen and an organic material are reduced and a sludge yield decreases compared to an existing method.
