[0040] 3. Existing anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactors have low processing loads, and when the processing load is high, a large amount of particulate microbial inoculum is easily lost, resulting in waste;
[0041] 4. Existing anaerobic ammonia oxidation reactors have complex structures and high costs, which prevents their widespread application.
[0042] Therefore, the design concept of this application is to combine anammox technology, granular sludge cultivation and integrated process design into a high-efficiency biological denitrification device. Through functional integration and granular sludge enhancement, it achieves efficient and low-consumption biological denitrification, while also enabling rapid proliferation of granular bacteria.
[0043] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this application provides an integrated anaerobic ammonia oxidation granular bacteria propagation reaction device, including a reaction tank 1.
