The performance of two anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) upflow biofilm (UBF) reactors was investigated. The results show that anammox UBFs become unstable under nitrogen loading rate (NLR) applied higher than 1.0 g/(L·d). The consumptions of acidity in the anammox reaction lead to the increase of pH, which is as high as 8.70-9.05. Free nitrous acid concentration is accompanied to be lower than the affinity constant of anammox bacteria, and then starvation effect appears. Moreover, free ammonia concentration increases to 57-178 mg/L, resulting in inhibitory effect on the anammox bacteria. Both negative effects contribute to the instability of the anammox bioreactors.展开更多

The nitrogen removal rate(NRR) finally improved to 15.77 kg/m3/d by shortening hydraulic retention time(HRT) to 1.06 h. Well-shaped red anammox granules were extensively enriched inside the reactor. The results of nitrogen removal kinetics indicated that the present bioreactor has great nitrogen removal potential, because the maximum rate of substrate utilization(Umax) predicted by Stover-Kincannon model is suggested as 55.68 kg/(m3·d). Analysis of the microbial community showed that the anammox genus Candidatus Kuenenia dominated the bacterial communities. The relative abundance of Candidatus Kuenenia rose from 12.29% to 36.95% after progressively shorter HRT and higher influent substrate concentrations, illustrating the stability of nitrogen removal performance and biomass enrichment offered by the UASB in carrying out high-rate anammox process.展开更多
