The disclosed lagoon biological treatment system helps existing wastewater treatment facilities meet stricter discharge permits mandated by the EPA utilizing a facility's existing wastewater treatment infrastructure. Influent is pumped into and processed in an aerated or non-aerated lagoon system, thus initially treating the wastewater to reduce BOD5 (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids) to approximately 20-30 mg/L. Then the wastewater is transferred to and processed in a nitrification reactor, where sufficient nitrifying bacteria is present to reduce nitrogen levels to regulation-acceptable levels without needing to regulate temperature of the water in the nitrification reactor. Wastewater may also be further processed in a denitrifying reactor if necessary to meet local requirement. Post-nitrification polishing of the wastewater is foregone.

The present invention relates to a wastewater treatment apparatus for shortcut nitrogen removal using anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) and partial nitritation using ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) granules. High-purity AOB granules are formed by means of AOB predominance using a side stream generated during a sludge treatment process. Moreover, the formed AOB granules are supplied to a partial nitritation tank (130) of a main treatment process and thus the partial nitritation is efficiently performed and nitrogen is quickly removed, and thus oxygen and an organic material is reduced compared to an existing method.

An organic wastewater treatment device includes a biological treatment tank in which biological treatment units are connected in series along a flow of organic wastewater. Each biological treatment unit has a pair of an anoxic tank disposed on an upstream side, and an aerobic tank disposed on a downstream side in which a membrane separation device is immersed in activated sludge. The activated sludge returns from a most downstream-side aerobic tank to a most upstream-side anoxic tank through a sludge return path. Whether to stop an operating membrane separation device and whether to start a stopped membrane separation device are determined for each biological treatment unit based on at least one of an inflow amount of the organic wastewater, a tank water level, a transmembrane pressure difference of each membrane separation device, a T-N concentration of the treated water, and an NH3-N concentration of the treated water as an index.

A carbon removal and denitrification treatment device for a leachate from a waste incineration plant includes a pretreatment unit, an anaerobic reactor, a nitrification cycle unit, an anaerobic ammonium oxidation cycle unit and an NF membrane filter that are sequentially communicated. A denitrification cycle assembly is disposed between the nitrification cycle unit and the anaerobic ammonium oxidation cycle unit. When the leachate is treated, the leachate is pretreated by the pretreatment unit to successively enter the anaerobic reactor, the nitrification cycle unit and the anaerobic ammonium oxidation cycle unit for carbon removal and denitrification.

A wastewater treatment system may use recycle water to apply an anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) process to a water treatment process (mainstream treatment process) and to stably supply nitrite required for an ANAMMOX. By applying the ANAMMOX process, nitrogen and phosphorus may be simultaneously treated in the water treatment process, and recycle water may be used as a source of nitrite for ANAMMOX, thereby reducing wastewater treatment costs and pollutant loading.
