Abstract

Abstract Nitrogen and phosphorus removal is necessary to avoid eutrophication of water bodies when treated wastewater is outlet to slowly flowing water bodies or recycled as technological water. The “BioBalance” technology as the latest way of nitrogen and phosphorus removal was applied at Utena Wastewater Treatment Plant. Composition of wastewater has an impact on biological phosphorus removal, particularly the ratio of biochemical oxygen demand and total phosphorus (BOD7/Total‐P) in wastewater after mechanical treatment. Nitrates in the anaerobic zone can have a negative effect on biological phosphorus removal. Consequently, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of the mentioned factors on biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal was evaluated and compared by using the “BioBalance” technology for biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal and technology before reconstruction during this investigation. The correlation regressive analysis of the biochemical o...
