NITRIFICATION REACTIONS IN TREATMENT OF SUPERNATANT FROM DEWATERING OF DIGESTED SLUDGE
Separate nitrification of the reject water from dewatering of digested sludge has been studied at the Bromma sewage plant in Stockholm. Experimental studies were carried out in an SBR pilot plant. It was shown that a very high nitrification rate could be obtained in the reactor, about 30-40 g NH^-N/kg MLVSS, h. During the nitrification […]
