This invention relates to an apparatus and method for rapidly inhibiting
nitrite-oxidizing
bacteria to achieve deep
nitrogen and
phosphorus removal in urban
wastewater, belonging to the field of biological
wastewater treatment. The apparatus includes an influent reactor unit, an influent unit, an
aeration unit, and an
effluent unit. The method operates a short-
cut nitrification /
anaerobic ammonium oxidation system with
low nitrogen and
phosphorus removal efficiency due to the proliferation of
nitrite-oxidizing
bacteria in an anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic mode. By controlling the aerobic and anoxic time distributions, the
nitrite accumulation rate in the aerobic section of the
system is rapidly increased, reducing the
total nitrogen and
phosphate content in the
effluent. This invention, by changing the operating mode, rapidly inhibits nitrite-oxidizing
bacteria, improves the
nitrogen and
phosphorus removal efficiency of the short-
cut nitrification /
anaerobic ammonium oxidation system operating in an anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic mode, achieves deep
nitrogen and phosphorus removal in urban
wastewater with a low C / N ratio, and ensures stable operation. The operation and control are simple, requiring no
external energy, thus saving energy and reducing consumption.
