This specification describes a membrane aerated biofilm media and reactor (MABR) having a discontinuous layer of a porous material applied to the outer surface of a gas-transfer membrane. The porous material may have a void fraction of 50% or more. The porous material may have a thickness of up to about 500 microns and a pattern on the same order of magnitude as its thickness. The media may be used to carry on a deammonification reaction. In use, ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and annamox bacteria grown in or on the media, with the annamox bacteria located primarily in the porous material. The supply of oxygen through the gas-transfer membrane is limited to suppress the growth of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB). Excess biofilm is removed, for example by coarse bubble scouring. The media may be placed in an anoxic zone of an activated sludge plant, which may be upstream of an aerobic zone.

A cord for supporting a biofilm has a plurality of yarns. At least one of the yarns comprises a plurality of hollow fiber gas transfer membranes. At least one of the yarns extends along the length of the cord generally in the shape of a spiral. Optionally, one or more of the yarns may comprise one or more reinforcing filaments. In some examples, a reinforcing yarn is wrapped around a core. A module may be made by potting a plurality of the cords in at least one header. A reactor may be made and operated by placing the module in a tank fed with water to be treated and supplying a gas to the module. In use, a biofilm covers the cords to form a membrane biofilm assembly.

A wastewater treatment method comprising splitting wastewater influent into a first influent stream and second influent stream; subjecting the first influent stream to treatment within at least one membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) to provide a MABR effluent; subjecting the second influent stream and said MABR effluent to treatment within an anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) reactor to obtain treated water effluent; and discharging from said Anammox reactor said treated water effluent. Also provided is a wastewater treatment system comprising at least one membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) module; an anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) reactor comprising at least one inlet and an outlet for discharging treated water effluent; and a wastewater influent arrangement configured for splitting a wastewater influent to a first influent stream and a second influent stream and for supplying said first influent stream to said MABR module and said second influent stream to said Anammox reactor.

A total nitrogen (TN) removal device for sewage and its operation method. The TN removal device includes a denitrification tank, a supplementary reaction zone filled with aerobic granular sludge and a sedimentation and separation zone. The supplementary reaction zone and the sedimentation and separation zone are arranged inside the denitrification tank, and communicated through a three-phase separator. The sedimentation and separation zone is located above the supplementary reaction zone. A top of the sedimentation and separation zone is greater than its bottom. A membrane aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) assembly is arranged in a space formed by outer walls of the sedimentation and separation zone and supplementary reaction zone and an inner chamber of the denitrification tank. A side wall of the denitrification tank is provided with a chemical oxygen demand (COD) detector and a nitrate nitrogen detector.

A self-circulating high-efficiency biological denitrification device includes a tank body, where an aerobic zone, an anoxic zone, a settling tank water distribution zone, a sludge zone, a sludge-water separation zone, and an effluent flow stabilization zone are arranged from bottom to top in the tank body; the settling tank water distribution zone includes a settling tank influent guide cylinder, and a circular butterfly jet water distributor is arranged between the settling tank influent guide cylinder and the aerobic zone; the settling tank influent guide cylinder is connected to a guide plate arranged in the aerobic zone, the anaerobic zone, and the sludge zone; the guide plate includes three sections; a nitrification liquid return gap and a sludge return gap are formed; a bottom of the aerobic zone is provided with an aerator; the aerator is connected to an air inlet pipe located outside the tank body.

This application relates to a system of treating wastewater wherein an oxygen infusion system is used to supersaturate wastewater before aerobic biological processes, wherein oxygen is transferred to the wastewater free of oxygen bubbles and achieves a reduction in power demand for the aeration process of wastewater.
