The Use of Reagents in Up-flow Submerged Biofilters

  • Conference paper
Chemical Water and Wastewater Treatment III

Summary

This paper presents results concerning three wastewater treatment plants combining biological treatment (by upflow biofiltration) and chemical treatment in order to achieve:

  • Suspended solids and phosphorus removal in a lamella settler before biofiltration enhancing dissolved organic matter removal and nitrification (Perroy — Switzerland).

  • Simultaneous nitrification and phosphorus removal in biofilters, after adding Al salts and polymers at the inlet of the biofilters (Cologne — Germany).

  • Denitrification in upflow biofilters, (Oslo — Norway) after chemical preprecipitation

The results show advantages of such an association which makes it possible to reach high effluent quality and reliability with respect to stringent standards (C, N, P).
