Advancing the understanding of mainstream shortcut nitrogen removal: resource efficiency, carbon redirection, and plant capacity
Kester McCullough, Stephanie Klaus, Michael Parsons, Chris Wilson, Charles Bott
Abstract
Shortcut nitrogen removal (SNR) reduces aeration, carbon, and alkalinity requirements, but the magnitude of this benefit is often overstated. SNR allows for upstream carbon diversion and anammox processes allow for significant WRRF capacity gains.
