The feasibility of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) in fixed-bed reactors was evaluated on laboratory and pilot scales. Using synthetic wastewater, the specific nitrogen removal rate was increased from 0.05-0.1 kgNm-3reactord-1 to 0.35-0.38 kgNm-3reactord-1 within a year (T = 22-27°C) in all applications. However, the anammox activity was seriously and repeatedly inhibited at prolonged high nitrite concentrations (e.g. six days at 30-50 gNO2-Nm-3) and recovery was always a lengthy process. But even at a moderate nitrite concentration (11 ± 10 gNO2-Nm-3), the observed specific growth rate was only 0.018 d-1 at 26.4 ± 0.8°C, which corresponds to approximately 0.025 d-1 at 30°C (doubling time: 28 days). In a second experimental period for another 250 days, one of the laboratory reactors was fed with partially nitrified sludge liquors from a domestic wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). In this case, the specific elimination rate was as high as 3.5 kgNm-3reactord-1 at 26-27°C. Independently of the feed, the average nitrogen elimination rate lay between 80-85% in all applications. An appropriate hydraulic design is essential to prevent clogging and local nitrite inhibition in fixed-bed reactors.

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria enrichment was explored for the potential application of ammonium rich wastewater removal. Samples of sludge from mature and young landfill leachate treatment plants were screened and used as inocula for anammox enrichment cultures. Enrichments were monitored for N-NH3, N-NO2- and N-NO3- to detect anammox potential activity. Six of the twelve enrichment cultures showed anammox activity after more than five months of enrichment period. All enrichment cultures that gave positive results were obtained from bottom part of sequencing batch reactor (SBR) lagoon indicating localization of anammox bacteria in anaerobic condition.  Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with specific primers targeting anammox and planctomycete were able to amplify the 16S rRNA sequence for anammox bacteria under PCR optimum condition. However, only three of six positive samples were successfully sequenced. DNA sequence analysis using NCBI (BLAST) and RDP showed that the anammox bacterial sequences of the investigated samples were identified as Candidatus Kuenenia stuttgartiensis with similarity of 100% (NCBI) and 99.3% (RDP).
