Denitrification potential enhancement by addition of external carbon sources in a pre-denitrification process

The aim of this study is to investigate the denitrification potential enhancement by addition of external carbon sources and to estimate the denitrification potential for the predenitrification system using nitrate utilization rate （NUR） batch tests. It is shown that the denitrification potential can be substantially increased with the addition of three external carbon sources, i.e. methanol, ethanol, and acetate, and the denitrification rates of ethanol, acetate, and methanol reached up to 9.6, 12, and 3.2 mgN/（g VSS.h）, respectively, while that of starch wastewater was only 0.74 mgN/（g VSS,h）. By comparison, ethanol was found to be the best external carbon source. NUR batch tests with starch wastewater and waste ethanol were carried out. The denitfification potential increased from 5.6 to 16.5 mg NO3-N/L owing to waste ethanol addition. By means of NUR tests, the wastewater characteristics and kinetic parameters can be estimated, which are used to determine the denitrification potential of wastewater, to calculate the denitrification potential of the plant and to predict the nitrate effluent quality, as well as provide information for developing carbon dosage control strategy.     

低溶解氧污泥微膨胀节能方法在A/O中的试验验证

采用实际的生活污水,在A/O系统中验证了低溶解氧污泥微膨胀节能理论与方法.结果表明,A/O系统在微膨胀运行期间SVI值能稳定维持在150～230 mL/g之间,单纯低溶解氧不会造成污泥沉降性能的严重恶化.相对于高溶解氧、污泥沉降性能良好时的运行情况,微膨胀期间COD和总氮去除率略有升高,分别为86%和63%,氨氮去除率略有下降,平均为70%,且约有10%～25%的氮可通过同步硝化反硝化去除.丝状菌的网捕作用使出水的SS浓度明显减低,出水浊度低于3 NTU.维持DO=0.5 mg/L所需的理论供气量相对DO=2.0 mg/L时可节约17%,对实际的小试结果比较发现可节约57%的曝气量.     

前置反硝化工艺外碳源投加串级控制策略研究

反硝化反应需要以有机碳源为电子受体.由于污水厂的进水负荷时刻在变化,当进水碳氮比较低时,需要外投加碳源.为了有效地控制外碳源投加量,提出了由两个PI控制器组成的外碳源投加串级控制策略,可以控制出水硝酸氮浓度以及缺氧区末端硝酸氮浓度.由Matlab/Simulink模拟表明,该控制器具有良好的动态品质、抗冲击负荷强,可快速响应进水负荷的变化,能在降低出水硝酸氮和总氮浓度的同时,大大降低外碳源投量.     

前置反硝化脱氮系统外加碳源在线控制基础

以低碳氮比(C/N)生活污水为研究对象,对连续流前置反硝化生物脱氮系统外加碳源的控制方法进行了研究,从而能使出水硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐(NO_x-N)的浓度在满足出水水质标准的情况下,尽可能减少外加碳源的投加量.试验结果表明:总回流比大于2碳源不足时,增加总回流比并不能提高脱氮效率;总回流比一定,缺氧区出水NO_x^--N的浓度达到2mg/L左右时,即使碳源投加量成倍增加,TN的去除率提高不多.在对总回流比与投加碳源量的相互关系分析的基础上提出了外加碳源量的控制方案:通过使缺氧区出水NO_x^--N浓度维持在2mg/L左右来控制外加碳源的投加量,总回流比由进水TN及出水NO_x^--N浓度的标准值来确定.该控制方案既容易判断碳源投加的最佳点又能节省碳源的投加量,易于在污水处理实践中实现.
