Integrated anaerobic/anoxic/oxic process with biological aerated filter
AAO-BAF system was used to treat domestic wastewater with low C/N ratio of about 4. By adjusting influent flow rate of the AAO reactor and aeration rate of BAF
the effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and aeration rate on the performance of the AAO-BAF system was investigated. The results showed that air/liquid ratio and hydraulic load rate (HLR) of BAF had great influence on NH4+ removal. At air/liquid ratio 3:1
NH4+ removal rate decreased to 72%. Further
when HRT = 4 h and HLR of BAF was 3 m3·m-2·h-1
NH4+ could not be removed completely even with a high air/liquid ratio of 8:1. This work confirmed that there was an obvious relationship between PO43- and NH4+ removal efficiencies in the AAO-BAF system. The NH4+ removal should reach 98% for over 90% of the PO43- removal. When HRT of the AAO reactor was greater than 6 h
