A device and method for treating sidestream
sludge with
formate to achieve short-
cut nitrification belongs to the field of urban
sewage treatment and regeneration. The metabolic diversity of
nitrite-oxidizing
bacteria (NOB) is utilized to perform sidestream treatment with VFAs such as
formate to achieve mainstream short-
cut nitrification. The
sludge is returned from the bottom of the secondary
sedimentation tank to the anaerobic zone and the dosing regulating tank respectively.
Formate is added to the dosing regulating tank. The PLC controller controls the COD concentration at 140-160 mg / L. The returned
sludge is mixed in the dosing regulating tank and enters the front end of the aerobic zone. The
reflux ratio R2 = 100%; when the
nitrite accumulation rate (NAR) is higher than 60%, R2 is adjusted to 50%; when the NAR is higher than 80%, R2 is adjusted to 25%. The present invention achieves short-
cut nitrification with little
impact on
ammonia oxidizing
bacteria (AOB), does not affect the
total nitrogen removal rate, and achieves sludge reduction and
resource utilization; as the NAR increases, the amount of
formate added is gradually reduced, and short-cut nitrification is maintained while reducing formate consumption, saving costs.
