External Carbon For Denitrification in Wastewater Systems
Internal carbon substrate is often exhausted in the aeration process in activated sludge systems leaving very little to support denitrification. Augmenting external organic carbon is often necessary to achieve optimal nitrate removal.
BioLynceus® provides an alternative organic carbon source, Candy Carbon® (CC), to fuel BNR for denitrification.
Denitrification with Candy Carbon®
Download White Paper Here Even with BNR, denitrification can be challenging when the plants are underloaded for flow as well as biological or biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and perhaps chemical oxygen demand (COD). Denitrification is inhibited by a lack of available...
Candy Carbon® Denitrification in an Activated Sludge System
Activated Sludge Plant 0.2 MGD For many municipal wastewater treatment facilities, removing inorganic nitrogen to permitted discharge levels is a challenging requirement. Without the role of biological nutrient removal (BNR) in treatment systems, effluent wastewater...
