Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation
The ANAMMOX® (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) process is an innovative biological process that represents a major breakthrough in nitrogen removal. It is a cost effective, robust and sustainable way of removing ammonium from wastewater and from waste gas. Compared to conventional nitrifation/denitrification, operational costs are reduced by up to 90% as are CO2 emission levels. This brings the plant’s carbon footprint down to a minimum.
Advantages of Anammox process compared to conventional De/Nitrification process
- High nitrogen removal
- No methanol dosing is needed for denitrification
- Up to 60% reduction of power consumption
- Minimal production of excess sludge
- Up to 90% reduction of CO 2 emission
- Up to 50% less space required
