Abstract
Nitritation of ammonia conserves energy by reducing aeration requirements for nitrogen removal. To date, however, stable long-term nitritation has proved difficult to achieve. In this work, we test a new method for stabilization of nitritation of high strength sidestreams from anaerobic digestion - the Alternating Stressors Sequencing Batch Reactor (ASSBR),. In this process, pH fluctuates between 6.5 and 9.5, alternately exposing nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) to two inhibitors - free ammonia (FA) and free nitrous acid (FNA). This control method resulted in stable nitrite accumulation ratio(NAR) of 98 ± 1 % and ammonium removal efficiency of 97 ± 2 % with an influent ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) concentration of 1020 ± 25 mgN/L. Community analysis established that this selection regime led to increased NOB and decreased AOB. The dominant AOB specie was Nitrosomonas stercoris (15%), a species that can tolerate high NH4+-N. Unexpectedly, the ASSBR also selected for 15% Xanthomonadacea, a family that is reportedly capable of heterotrophic nitrification. Besides stable nitritation, ASSBR exhibited distinct advantages in operational simplicity and flexibility over a conventional SBR.
