SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT NITROGEN AND CARBON REMOVAL AND PHOSPHORUS RECOVERY OF SOURCE-SEPARATED FRESH URINE BY BIOCHEMICAL COMBINATION
Disclosed are a system and method for efficient nitrogen and carbon removal and phosphorus recovery of source-separated fresh urine by biochemical combination. The system includes a functionally zoned membrane aerated biofilm reactor for in-situ nitrogen and carbon removal, a source separation toilet, a source-separated urine storage tank, a phosphorus recovery reactor, a calcium salt solution tank, a water production tank, and a control system. The membrane aerated biofilm reactor is divided into an upper part and a lower part, a micro-aerobic environment is formed in the upper part while an anaerobic environment is formed in the lower part, and thus nitrogen and carbon can be removed only in the membrane aerated biofilm reactor. The system disclosed by the present disclosure can achieve the goal of removing nitrogen and carbon by 95% and more without additional carbon source, and can meet the demand of in-situ sewage treatment on a train.
IMPROVEMENTS IN RELATION TO WASTE TREATMENT
A method of removing phosphates from water in a continuous process, the method comprising the steps of: (a) passing the water through a first zone in which the pH is adjusted; and (b) passing the water through a second zone in which the water is contacted with magnesium ions; wherein the water is contacted with ammonia in the first zone and/or in the second zone.
Aerobic granular sludge in continuous flow reactors
Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is an energy efficient and compact biological wastewater treatment process. There is only one commercially available AGS technology which utilizes sequencing batch reactors (SBR). Many existing wastewater treatment facilities consist of long, continuous flow reactors that would not be readily suitable for retrofit to SBR. Therefore, a continuous flow process is preferred for municipalities that cannot economically invest in the only commercially available SBR technology (i.e., Nere-da®). Lab- and pilot-scale experimentation has demonstrated that stable granulation can be achieved in a continuous flow configuration GT suitable for retrofit into existing infrastructure. An anoxic/anaerobic/aerobic configuration can be designed and stably operated for conversion of flocculent biomass to AGS Preliminary pilot-scale results on primary effluent from a municipal wastewater treatment facility indicated that granules of 0.2-0.5 mm, SVI<75 mL/g, and SV.sub.30 min/SVI.sub.5 min>70% can be formed within a month of steady operation.

The invention provides a dynamic membrane reactor with function of nitrogen and phosphorus removal and an operation method thereof, and comprises a biological treatment system, a dynamic membrane loading system and an automatic system. The operation method comprises the following steps. (1) Before the formation of dynamic membrane, a porous filter for phosphorus removal is used as a cathode, a conductive precision filter screen is used as an anode, and aerobic denitrifying bacteria are inoculated into the dynamic membrane reactor under certain constant current density, hydraulic retention time and flux. (2) After the dynamic membrane is formed, the porous filter for phosphorus removal is used as the anode, the conductive precision filter screen is used as the cathode. And intermittent aeration is started at the anode under certain constant current density. (3) When the transmembrane pressure difference exceeds a certain range, hydraulic backwashing is performed under certain constant current density.

Biological phosphorus and nitrogen removal in activated sludge processing
An activated sludge process for the treatment of municipal wastewater, particularly applicable to oxidation ditch activated sludge treatment systems which utilize a conventional race track or continuous loop reactor basin configuration. The process removes phosphorus and nitrogen from an activated sludge wastewater treatment system, with an anoxic cycle followed by an aerobic cycle, and followed by a surface wasting cycle until a low flow diurnal period is reached in a diurnal or twenty-four hour period. Automated microprocessor control system using “oxidation-reduction potential” (ORP) and “dissolved oxygen” (DO) as process variable inputs automate aerated and anoxic cycles to optimize phosphorus and nitrogen removal using the available carbon in the influent wastewater resulting in an energy efficient dynamic dissolved oxygen control during the aerated periods.
