Immobilizing nitrifying bacteria in compact reactors enhances nitrogen removal from wastewater. This study evaluates integrated nitrification and denitrification in single-reactor systems for efficient wastewater treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental microbiology
  • Wastewater treatment engineering

Background:

  • Nitrification, a key step in nitrogen removal from wastewater, is hindered by slow-growing nitrifying bacteria.
  • Immobilization techniques can enhance nitrification efficiency in compact reactor systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the potential of integrated nitrification and denitrification within a single reactor.
  • To compare two distinct reactor configurations for co-immobilized and separately immobilized bacteria.

Main Methods:

  • Co-immobilization of Nitrosomonas europaea and Pseudomonas denitrificans in gel beads within an air-lift reactor.
  • Separate immobilization of the same bacteria in different compartments of a multiple gas-lift reactor.

Main Results:
