Shortcut Nitrogen Removal - Nitrite Shunt and Deammonification Water Environment Federation

Publisher Marketing: Shortcut nitrogen removal refers to biological nitrogen removal when ammonia is not converted to nitrate, but halts at nitrite to shortcut the conventional nitrification/denitrification process. Shortcut nitrogen removal processes provide significant potential benefits in terms of energy, carbon, and chemical savings compared with conventional biological nitrogen removal. Shortcut Nitrogen Removal-Nitrite Shunt and Deammonification provides owners, managers, engineers, operators, and researchers with a solid understanding of shortcut nitrogen removal and the most current research and cutting-edge industry practices on how to implement these emerging resource-saving technologies in a sustainable manner. Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction and Rationale Chapter 2: Process Fundamentals-Microbiology, Stoichiometry, Kinetics, and Inhibition Chapter 3: Processes for Sidestream Nitrite Shunt Chapter 4: Sidestream Deammonification Chapter 5: Mainstream Simultaneous Nitrification and Denitrification and Nitrite Shunt Chapter 6: Mainstream Deammonification Chapter 7: Toward Energy Autarky: Carbon Redirection Coupled with Shortcut Nitrogen Processes Chapter 8: Process Types, Flowsheets, and Design Criteria for Implementation Chapter 9: Future Issues and Considerations of Nutrient Management in Wastewater Treatment Contributor Bio:  Water Environment Federation This manual was developed by the three partner organizations using consensus-review procedures established by WEF's Technical Practice Committee (TPC). However, it is NOT a Manual of Practice. The manual represents the wisdom, experience, and hard work of more than 200 subject matter experts, staff, and members from each of these three partner organizations. Many of the chapter lead authors are senior individuals who will soon be retiring from the profession.
