Abstract

In this study, development of M2-Dephanox and M3-Dephanox process has been tried to enhance the nitrogen removal of M-Dephanox process on the basis of previous study about M-Dephanox. The results showed that T-N removal efficiency of M3-Dephanox process was 8.9% or 11.3% higher than M-Dephanox or M2-Dephanox processes, respectively. This result is due to the lower $NO_3{^-}-N$ concentration in the effluent of M3-Dephanox than of M-Dephanox and M2-Dephanox processes. This results were recurrenced by PASS simulator. As result of simulation by PASS program, effluent $NO_3{^-}-N$ concentration of M3-Dephanox process was 1.4 mg/L and 3.6 mg/L lower than M-Dephanox and M2-Dephanox processes. In the study about optimization of M3-Dephanox processes by PASS program, SRT greatly affected T-N removal of M3-Dephanox process, whereas, the recycle rate and recirculation rate did little affect T-N removal efficiency of M3-Dephanox. In the study about optimization of reactors following the nitrification reactor of M3-Dephanox process, it was shown that the best optimum volume ratio of denitrification reactor, intermittently aerated reactor and anoxic reactor for the T-N removal were 29.1(%) : 32.7(%) : 38.2(%). T-N removal efficiency at this volume ratio was similar to T-N removal efficiency at the volume ratio of 36.3(%) : 36.3(%) : 27.4(%) designed for the lab-scale M3-Dephanox.
