Nitrogen Ratio

In this study, we examined the influence of the organic carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (chemical oxygen demand (COD/N)) and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels on the removal efficiency of pollutants and on the change in total microflora in the cyclic activated sludge system (CASS) in the Nyingchi prefecture in Tibet. The results demonstrated that the treatment performance was the best when the COD/N ratio was 7:1 or the DO levels were 2–2.5 mg/L in comparison with four different tested COD/N ratios (4:1, 5:1, 7:1, and 10:1) and DO concentrations (0.5–1, 1–2, 2–2.5, and 2.5–3.5 mg/L). The treatment performance can be explained by the relative operational taxonomic unit richness and evenness of the microbial communities in activated sludge. Evident microbial variance was observed, especially different COD/N ratios and DO concentrations, which were conducive to the disposal of urban sewage in plateaus. The results help to understand sewage treatment under different COD/N ratios or DO concentrations on plateaus. This work provides practical guidance for the operation of any wastewater treatment plant on a plateau.

This paper enumerates various practical consideration concerning the design and operation of activated sludge plants for the removal of phosphates. When phosphate removal is required without the conversion of ammonia to nitrates, either the Pho-strip or the Phoredox processes could be used. If ammonia conversion and/or the removal of nitrogen are also required, the use of the Phoredox process in combination with internal nitrification and denitrification would be required. Nitrates, when formed in the process should be removed to sufficiently low levels through internal denitrification so that they will not prevent anaerobic conditions of being maintained at all times in the anaerobic basin. Factors that may influence the proper functioning of the plant include temperature, pH, carbon to nitrogen ratio, septicity of the sewage, operator input, DO control, sludge age and clarifier design.

Effect of carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) on the sludge extracellular polymer composition is studied in synthetically fed semi-continuous reactors with 8 days of sludge age. Results show that C/N ratio influences the relative distribution of polymer carbohydrate and protein. At low C/N ratio of 5, polymer extracts have high protein and low carbohydrate content. As the C/N ratio is increased to 17.5 and then to 40, carbohydrate concentration increases sharply and protein concentration decreases.
