Description: Full Scale Demonstration of Non-VFA Pathway Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal
Full Scale Demonstration of Non-VFA Pathway Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal
Abstract
This full scale study was conducted at Ballenger-McKinney Wastewater Treatment ENR plant (BMENR) in Maryland to demonstrate glycerol based enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) under operational conditions that are not susceptible to fermentation of glycerol as an external carbon source and therefore generation of volatile fatty acids (VFA). This promoted an alternative EBPR pathway via direct internalization of glycerol in the absence of electron acceptors (NOx-N and O2) via specialist groups of microorganisms which do not seem to be among the conventional PAO bacteria spectrum.
