ABSTRACT:
A method for denitrification of aqueous nitrate-containing solutions is disclosed. Specifically the invention provides for denitrification of the effluent from an activated sludge sewage treatment process. Effluent from the settling zone of an activated sludge sewage treatment process containing nitrogen compounds such as nitrates and nitrites, is passed through a deep bed filter, the filter media of which has been innoculated with bacteria that converts the nitrogen compounds to nitrogen gas. The filter, in addition to removing the nitrogen compounds, also removes suspended solids from the settling zone effluent, so that the final effluent from the filter is concurrently clarified and denitrified. By controlling the backwash of the filter, bacteria is retained thereon so as to enable continuous use of the filter for denitrification.
