Optimization of DEAMOX Processes Driven by Inorganic (Sulphide) or Organic (VFA) Donors with Regard to Ammonia Removal Rate

摘要

This paper reports about the optimisation of both the process with regard to ammonia removal rate (ARR). Both approaches for a stepwise increase of ammonia loading rate (ALR) were explored: i) the increase of influent substrate concentrations under fixed hydraulic retention time (HRT) and ii) the decrease of HRT under fixed influent substrate concentrations.
