A novel process that combines partial nitrification, fermentation and Anammox-partial denitrification (NFAD) was proposed to co-treat ammonia rich sludge supernatant (NH-N = 1194.1 mg/L), external WAS (MLSS = 22092.6 mg/L) and WWTP secondary effluent (NO-N = 58.6 mg/L). Three separated reactors were used for partial nitrification (PN-SBR), integrated fermentation and denitrification (IFD-SBR) and combined Anammox-partial denitrification (AD-UASB), respectively. The process resulted in excellent nitrogen removal efficiency (NRE) of 98.7%, external sludge reduction efficiency (SRE) of 44.6% and external sludge reduction rate of 4.1 kg/m after 200 days of continuous operation. IFD-SBR and AD-UASB contributed towards 89.4% and 9.2% nitrogen removal, respectively. In AD-UASB, cooperation between Anammox bacteria (4.1% Candidatus Brocadia) and partial denitrifying bacteria (3.2% Thauera) resulted in significant stability of Anammox pathway, which contributed up to 84.1% nitrogen removal in the combined Anammox-partial denitrification process. NFAD saved up to 100% organic resource demand and 25% of aeration consumption compared with the traditional nitrification-denitrification process.

This study investigated nutrient conversion pathways and corresponding interactive mechanisms in a mainstream partial-nitritation (PN)/anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox)/partial-denitrification-(PD)-enhanced biological phosphorus-removal (EBPR) (PN/A/PD-EBPR) process. A laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactor was operated for 301 days under different operational strategies. Mainstream PN/A/PD-EBPR was successfully operated with aerobic and anoxic utilization of organic matter.

Anammox-mediated systems have attracted considerable attention as alternative cost-effective technologies for sustainable nitrogen (N) removal from wastewater. This review comprehensively highlights the importance of understanding microbial metabolism in anammox-mediated systems under crucial operation parameters, indicating the potentially wide applications for the sustainable treatment of N-containing wastewater. The partial nitrification-anammox (PN-A), simultaneous PN-A and denitrification (SNAD) processes have demonstrated sustainable N removal from sidestream wastewater.

The presence of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) when treating low-strength ammonia wastewater was a challenge in the application of the PN/A process. The partial nitrification/ANAMMOX/partial nitrification/ANAMMOX (PN/A/PN/A) process based on multiple oxidations of ammonia was proposed to solve this problem. The influence of independent variables such as nitrite concentration was analyzed based on the response surface method (RSM).

This study describes an integrated granular sludge and fixed-biofilm (iGB) reactor innovatively designed to carry out the anammox/partial-denitrification (A/PD) process for nitrogen removal with mainstream municipal wastewater. The iGB-A/PD reactor consists of anammox granules inoculated in the lower region of reactor and an acclimated fixed-biofilm positioned in the upper region. Compared to the other reported A/PD systems for mainstream wastewater treatment, this iGB-A/PD reactor is notable due to its higher quality effluent with a total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) of ∼3 mg•L and operation at a high nitrogen removal rate (NRR) of 0.
