The SHARON (Single reactor system for High activity Ammonium Removal Over Nitrite) wastewater treatment process is a combination of two already used nitrogen removing reactions. One process utilizes fast growing nitrifiers utilizing nitrification of ammonia to nitrite and Anammox which is the denitrification of nitrite to atmospheric nitrogen ...
The oxidation of the ammonium to nitrogen gas has been achieved with attached growth and suspended growth wastewater treatment processes. The most common bacteria responsible for the two step conversion are the autotrophic organisms, Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter , and many different heterotrophs.
[12] [13] Complete nitrification, the conversion of ammonia to nitrate in a single step known as comammox, has an energy yield (∆G°′) of −349 kJ mol −1 NH 3, while the energy yields for the ammonia-oxidation and nitrite-oxidation steps of the observed two-step reaction are −275 kJ mol −1 NH 3, and −74 kJ mol −1 NO 2 − ...
In early 2013, the wastewater treatment plant was renamed the San José–Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility, though it retained its former name for legal purposes. [1] A $114 million cogeneration facility was completed in August 2020, featuring a façade by Buster Simpson that is illuminated at night. [7]
Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via the intermediary nitrite. Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil. The process of complete nitrification may occur through separate organisms [1] or entirely within one organism, as in comammox bacteria. The transformation of ammonia to nitrite is ...
The compact size and cheap wastewater treatment costs offers many advantages for the system. The main objective of using MBBR being water reuse and nutrient removal or recovery. [ 2 ] In theory, wastewater will be no longer considered waste, it can be considered a resource.
Bespoke biofilters have been developed and commercialized for the treatment of animal wastes, [13] landfill leachates, [14] dairy wastewater, [15] domestic wastewater. [ 16 ] This process is versatile as it can be adapted to small flows (< 1 m3/d), such as onsite sewage [ 17 ] as well as to flows generated by a municipality (> 240 000 m3/d). [ 18 ]
The plant was built to centralize wastewater treatment, instead of sending it to the 22 treatment plants that used to exist in the Sacramento Area. [1] The SRWTP employs approximately 350 people, treats approximately 127 million gallons of effluent daily for over 1.4 million people in Elk Grove, Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Folsom, and Rancho ...
