Abstract

For the sewage treatment plants near rivers and closed water bodies in urbanized areas there is a growing demand for introduction of advanced treatment processes for nitrogen and phosphorus removal for water quality conservation and environmental protection. In order to achieve the total nitrogen content of below 10 mg/L in effluent, a compact single sludge pre-denitrification process by dosing immobilized pellets in the nitrification tank (PEGASUS process) has been already developed (Tanaka et al. 1992). Furthermore, a two-stage PEGASUS process and a PEGASUS process with post-denitrification were developed and investigated for nitrogen removal. Both processes achieved the total nitrogen of less than 5mg/L.
