Abstract

In this study, we investigated start-up of an Anammox bioprocess from a secondary activated sludge seed fed primary effluent from a domestic used water reclamation plant (WRP). To test the hypothesis that an anammox-enriched sludge could still be achieved under such conditions given enough nitrite and ammonium, nitrite was supplemented at a molar ratio of 2:1 to ammonium. Anammox activity was observed within 50 d of operation and the relative abundance of Anammox bacteria increased from
