  • The basics of nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment systems. Focusing on biological nitrification and denitrification. This applies to most all biological reactors, but the video focuses on the Carrousel System by Eimco Water Technologies.

    Dear Steven,
    This is a very focus video on netrogen removal process in Waste water treatment plants. Thank you for making this.

      I'm so happy to see you are studying aquaculture. I'm going for a bachelor degree in environmental science. Now I study micro biology.
      My hobby is aquaponic and are very interested in aquaculture as well.
      Sustainability is my motto (could you guess hahaha) and I would live to talk with someone in this topic (aquaculture).
      I'm trying to find solutions for dinitrifacation as nitrate is the hardest impact in aquaculture. Sure you have seen pic's from Laguna de Bay in Philippines (just Google if you have not already seen it).
      Enough for now;)
      Beware, english is not my native tongue. I'm from Scandinavian country, so bear with me;).
      If you are interested pls contact me (not sure if it's possible to from here). However, that's not a problem. Dot down some words here and I'll give you my mail. I don't care about spam, I'll soon change may adress soon anyway hahaha.
      If not, I which you all the best with your studies!

    this video is very useful for me to understand activated sludge process. Thank you very much. However, there is one thing that makes me confuse. Can you tell me what autotrophs do during anoxic zone? Because this video shows that nitrification is a very hungry oxygen process.

    • @NwoDispatcher
      @NwoDispatcher 10 лет назад

      "Can you tell me what autotrophs do during anoxic zone?" i think they denitrify the water.@2:38
      what i don't understand is why do we encourage the break down of nitrate to nitrogen? Why isn't nitrate used as more fertilizer? Why must we depend on the Haber-Bosch process?

    • @nguyenyen5012
      @nguyenyen5012 10 лет назад

      excess amount of nitrate in water can cause harm to aquatic system (eutrophication) and human health (blue skin baby syndrom). The amount of Nitrate in waste water is too small to use as fertilizer, and it is very hard to manage if it exists in liquid form.

    • @nguyenyen5012
      @nguyenyen5012 10 лет назад

      And i think the most simple way to make nitrate get out of water is using microorganism to change nitrate to nitrogen. it is reason why we use this method to treat water.

    • @NwoDispatcher
      @NwoDispatcher 10 лет назад

      I understand that aquatic life is harmed, what I want to know is the difficulty in concentrating nitrate in the water.
      How about centrifuging it out? NO3 should be much heavier than H2O... just saying, if a cheap process could be found, you would be competing with a multi-billion dollar industry, as well as promoting recycling.

    • @StevenMyers0071
      @StevenMyers0071  10 лет назад +2

      NwoDispatcher Nope. Denitrification is accomplished by Heterotrophic (BOD reducing) bacteria. Autotrophs don't do much of anything in anoxic conditions.

Im a little confused about this, would you be able to explain to me?

I have heard elsewhere that these bacteria can also turn nitrate back into nitrite. Is this true?
    Under what sorts of circumstances would these hetereotrophic bacteria turn nitrate into nitrogen gas and under what circumstances would they create nitrite?
