The influence of in situ purification system on pathogen in the river fed by the drainage of sewage plant.

An in situ integrated system, consisting of ecological floating islands (EFI), ecological riverbeds (ER), and ecological filter dams (EFD), was built in a ditch only receiving the effluent of sewage plant; the effect of in situ technologies on the distribution of aquatic pathogen was investigated. The results showed the aquatic pathogen decreased along the ditch. Specifically, the relative abundance of Legionella, Aeromonas, and Acinetobacter decreased from 0.

Effect of adding microorganism and carbon source to substrate on nitrogen removal treating the drainage of WWTP.

Developing substrate with carbon release properties is helpful to enhance nitrogen removal in low C/N ratio wastewater treatment. In this study, substrates with and without adding carbon source and microorganism were prepared to treat the drainage effluent from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), the difference in nitrogen removal were investigated. The results showed that adding a carbon source and microorganism to substrates could not only increase the amount of chemical oxygen demand (COD) released, but also enhance the adsorption capacities of NH -N and NO -N.
