Abstract:The partial nitrification-anaerobic ammonium oxidation (PN/A) process was successfully launched in a sewage treatment plant in Beijing for the treatment of sludge-digestion liquid treatment by thermal hydrolysis. The optimal operation conditions were proposed based on the project commissioning. Specifically, the PN/A system could be quickly initiated when the proportion of biofilm-inoculated carrier was 18% of the total carrier and the relative abundance of anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria (AnAOB) on the biofilm reached 6.8%. The designed water treatment capacity could be achieved within 3months, where the total nitrogen removal load was 0.26kg/(m³·d) and the total nitrogen removal efficiency reached 80%. Quantitative PCR and high-throughput sequencing analysis showed that different spatial distribution characteristics of AOB and AnAOB abundance, and proportions of both ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and AnAOB increased steadily during the commissioning; and the respective abundance of AOB in flocs and AnAOB on the biofilm reached the magnitude of 1011 and 1012 after 3 months of cultivation. Data from practical operation demonstrated that the sidestream treatment system has a positive impact on the mainstream, where a 2.9 mg/L decrease of the total nitrogen was observed with the influent for a sewage treatment plant of 40×104t/d. At the last running stage of the project, an insufficient supply of free ammonia (FA) was observed in the anoxic zone of the reaction tank, which resulted in the unstable performance of the PN/A system. However, the system could be quickly restored by controlling the FA concentration at the beginning and end of the reaction tank and the remaining ammonia nitrogen concentration.
