Evaluation on the performance of triple oxidation ditch system treating municipal wastewater

The oxidation ditch system in Handan WWTP is the biggest triple oxidation ditch system (T O.D.) treating municipal wastewater in China with a service population of 350000. The system can perform three functions, aerobic, anoxic and precipitation process in different ditch by alternating the operation mode, and the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and organic substances can be attained. Statistic analysis of data from past five year operation in the WWTP was presented, and investigations on COD, nitrogen, phosphorus removal in system were carried out in the field. The optimum number of aerated brush to meet satisfied nitrification and denitrification was determined on basis of field experiment. The effluent is reused as cooling water for a electricity power plant, and excess sludge is utilized as fertilizer. The concept of an ecological WWTP is put forward by the example of Handan WWTP.

生物脱氮的研究进展

脱氮是大部分废水处理系统中不可缺少的一环。与物理化学法相比,生物脱氮具有经济有效、操作方便以及无二次污染的优势。综述了各类生物脱氮技术的研究背景、机理及其存在的问题,并作了简单比较。结果表明,全程硝化反硝化应用广泛且稳定可靠。异养硝化-好氧反硝化对碳源需求较高(COD/N>10),而短程硝化反硝化可节约大量能源和碳源。厌氧氨氧化脱氮速率高且无外加碳源,但细菌富集和前期启动较为困难。
