Nutrient removal of industrial wastewater through simultaneous nitritation - denitritation by using granular sludge.

The aim of this research project is to achieve and hold a stable and profound (>80% via nitrite) nitritation in granular sludge. Trough combine this two technologies, significant advantages in terms of energy – efficiency (saving 25% O2, 40% COD and settle times) and land use (saving till 75%) can be obtained. The harmonization of the factors that benefits on one hand the granulation and on theother the nitritation will be the main challenge of this research.
