Objective
The aim is to develop new applications and control strategies for the sustainable removal of ammonia from wastewater on the basis of the novel process of anoxic ammonia oxidation (Anammox). Application of this new process will ensure and extend the leading position of European waste technology industries. In order to meet recent European discharge standards, research in co-operation with two wastewater companies will focus on the development and optimisation of key parameters (community structure and functioning, biosensors, control models, new conversions). The innovative aspect is the Anammox process, a more energy-efficient nitrogen removal process. Microbiological methods, biosensor development, quantitative flux analysis, and environmental engineering will be improved in a multidisciplinary approach. The main output will be a new type of pilot plant with improved control of nitrogen removal from wastewater.
