About Forney, Nicole

Nicole Forney recently graduated from George Washington University with a M.S. in Environmental Engineering. Her masters thesis research was conducted at DC Water and focused on optimization of PdNA for mainstream nitrogen removal. She currently works for Jacobs Engineering as a Water/Wastewater EIT.

Optimization of Partial Denitrification/Anammox with Complex Carbon Sources Under Different Process Configurations

Abstract

This study showed the potential of pre-anoxic partial denitrification – anammox (PdNA) application in achieving high TIN removal rates with both acetate as well as fermentation-based carbon. In addition, it was shown that the higher the VFA content within the soluble COD fraction of fermentation-based carbon sources, the higher the PdN selection. As fermentate composition is not easily managed in practice, design of the PdNA zones to operate at high nitrate removal rates can potentially help to maintain good PdN selection and thus PdNA rates for more complex carbon sources.

Overcoming Limiting Factors for PdNA in Integrated Suspended Process Schemes

Abstract

This study provides an understanding of potential limiting factors of partial denitrification – anammox (PdNA) applications and thus provides guidelines to optimize future projects. The limiting factors discussed include carbon source choice, nitrate residual, nitrate removal rates, anammox retention method, anammox capacity, and substrate management by upstream aeration.
