ALTERNATIVE CARBON SOURCES FOR THE CONTROL OF NITROGEN CONCENTRATION IN WATER

摘要

The system and method of improved denitrification of wastewater using an external carbon source composition. The composition is a mixture that comprises a diluent and a surfactant. Optionally, the mixture may comprise additional components. The mixture may comprise polysorbate 80 as the surfactant and crude glycerin as the diluent. The additional component may be the result of a lack of purity in the diluent, or it may be added separately. In some cases, the surfactant may be degraded.
