Article Synopsis
- * This study compared two filtration technologies: a smaller pressurized media filtration (PMF) plant and a larger dissolved air flotation filtration (DAFF) system, assessing their efficiency in removing protozoa and viruses using model organisms.
- * The DAFF process was more effective in reducing bacteriophage levels than PMF, while both systems had comparable effectiveness for yeast; the study also examined trade-offs in energy usage and chemical consumption, providing insights for designing effective recycled water systems.
The anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process is widely acknowledged to be susceptible to a wide range of environmental factors given the slow growth rate of the anammox bacteria. Surprisingly there is limited experimental data regarding the susceptibility of the anammox process to feed starvations which may be encountered in full-scale applications. Therefore, a study was established to investigate the impact of feed starvations on nitritation and anammox activity in a demonstration-scale sequencing batch reactor.
