Anammox process is a revolution for sustainable wastewater treatment. Pollutants become a renewable energy source by this process. Anaerobic and autotrophic Anammox bacteria eliminate the external carbon addition and CO 2 emission. This process reduces the oxygen requirement and excess sludge treatment cost. Why MBBR? MBBR is a flexible solution for nitrogen removal processes. This is an attached growth system, polyethylene rings have a high surface area they can carry large biomass population. MBBR systems do not have sludge recirculation and providing long sludge age, thus they are efficient for processes including slow growing bacteria (eg. Anammox). Results & Discussions CONCLUSION Inhibition of the heterotrophic bacteria was identified at feeding composition changes. They could not adapt easily to a new feed solution. Heterotrophic attachment was observed at 49 th day. The highest removal efficiency was observed at acetate and sewage wastewater feeding under continuous flow conditions. Beef extract and peptone solution was inhibited the heterotrophic bacteria. Enriched Anammox granules were larger for attaching. Free cells were not attached in the study period.

ENRICHED ANAMMOX

Why Anammox Process?Anammox process is a revolution for sustainable wastewater treatment.

Pollutants become a renewable energy source by this process.

Anaerobic and autotrophic Anammox bacteria eliminate the external carbon

addition and CO2 emission. This process reduces the oxygen requirement and

excess sludge treatment cost.

Why MBBR?MBBR is a flexible solution for nitrogen removal processes. This is an

attached growth system, polyethylene rings have a high surface area they

can carry large biomass population. MBBR systems do not have sludge

recirculation and providing long sludge age, thus they are efficient for

processes including slow growing bacteria (eg. Anammox).

Results & Discussions

CONCLUSION• Inhibition of the heterotrophic bacteria was identified at feeding

composition changes. They could not adapt easily to a new feed

solution.

• Heterotrophic attachment was observed at 49th day.

• The highest removal efficiency was observed at acetate and sewage

wastewater feeding under continuous flow conditions. Beef extract and

peptone solution was inhibited the heterotrophic bacteria.

• Enriched Anammox granules were larger for attaching. Free cells were

not attached in the study period.

Next StepAnammox seeding will be occurred to MBBR for Anammox bacteria attachment over the heterotrophic layer.
