Effect of Landfill Leachate Pretreatment and SBR Operational Parameters on Nitrification Efficiency and Activated Sludge Microbial Populations

Creator:

Miller, Kierstin M.

Abstract:

A year-long, bench-scale treatability study was performed to assess whether an activated sludge sequencing batch reactor could be used to treat an influent stream of 50/50 (v/v) municipal wastewater and landfill leachate to discharge standards established by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. One primary obstacle that was exposed during...

Molecular and Kinetic Characterization of Anammox Bacteria Enrichments and Determination of the Suitability of Anammox for Landfill Leachate Treatment

Creator:

Sultana, Sharmin

Abstract:

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) has recently appeared as a promising approach for removing nitrogen from landfill leachates because it requires less oxygen and no organic carbon compared to traditional nitrification-denitrification system, and it produces low sludge volumes, thereby reducing operating and biological sludge disposal costs by over 60%. Anammox bacteria...
