In this study, partial nitrification and post endogenous denitrification (PED) were combined with enhancing bacterial phosphorus removal (EBPR) in an anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic operated sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for deep-level nutrient removal from low carbon/nitrogen (C/N, chemical oxygen demand (COD)/total nitrogen (TN)) domestic wastewater. At anaerobic stage, abundant organic matters (96.6% of COD consumption) in raw wastewater were stored as poly-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by phosphorus and glycogen accumulating organisms with enhanced activities, which provided sufficient intracellular carbons for subsequent aerobic phosphorus uptake and anoxic PED. By controlling suitable aeration rate and duration, high nitrite accumulation rate (97.2%) was obtained at aerobic stage, which saved intracellular carbons consumption of PED. Moreover, the subsequent utilization of glycogen after PHAs via PED ensured the deep-level TN removal (94.9%) without external carbon addition. After 160-day operation, the average effluent PO-P and TN concentrations were 0.4 and 3.0 mg/L, respectively, at C/N of 3.1.

Stable inhibition of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) is a significant challenge in achieving partial nitrification (PN) and partial nitrification-anaerobic ammonia oxidation (PNA). Growing evidence suggested that NOB can develop resistance to suppression over time, leading to the re-enrichment of NOB within reactors. To address these issues, this study aimed to achieve stable PN by regulating SRT to selectively washout NOB during the lag phase of activity recovery following FA/FNA exposure.

A full-scale simultaneous partial nitrification, anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox), and denitrification (SNAD) reactor was initiated to address the problem of high energy consumption for the treatment of low C/N wastewater. The SNAD system achieved a nitrogen removal rate of 0.9 kg/(m·d) at an influent NH₄-N concentration of 500 mg/L after 450 days of stable operation.

The integration of partial nitrification-anammox (PN/A) into membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a promisingly energy-efficient and high-efficiency technology for nitrogen removal. The inhibition of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) remains as the most significant challenge for its development. In our investigation, we proposed a novel process to integrate carriers to MABR (CMABR), which combined the carriers enriched with anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) and partial nitrifying MABR system.

The liquid fraction of digestate (LFD) from anaerobic digestion of food waste contains high nitrogen concentrations, and in some countries, the LFD is treated as wastewater. We modelled alternative LFD treatments, including pretreatment with the partial nitritation Anammox (PNA) process. The PNA effluent is discharged to the sewers to undergo further treatment by conventional nitrification and (post- or pre-) denitrification.
