A-) START-UP OF ANAMMOX MBBR WITH
ACTIVATED SLUDGE
B-) START-UP OF ANAMMOX MBBR WITH
ENRICHED ANAMMOX
Why Anammox Process?Anammox process is a revolution for sustainable wastewater treatment.
Pollutants become a renewable energy source by this process.
Anaerobic and autotrophic Anammox bacteria eliminate the external carbon
addition and CO2 emission. This process reduces the oxygen requirement and
excess sludge treatment cost.
Why MBBR?MBBR is a flexible solution for nitrogen removal processes. This is an
attached growth system, polyethylene rings have a high surface area they
can carry large biomass population. MBBR systems do not have sludge
recirculation and providing long sludge age, thus they are efficient for
processes including slow growing bacteria (eg. Anammox).
Results & Discussions
CONCLUSION• Inhibition of the heterotrophic bacteria was identified at feeding
composition changes. They could not adapt easily to a new feed
solution.
• Heterotrophic attachment was observed at 49th day.
• The highest removal efficiency was observed at acetate and sewage
wastewater feeding under continuous flow conditions. Beef extract and
peptone solution was inhibited the heterotrophic bacteria.
• Enriched Anammox granules were larger for attaching. Free cells were
not attached in the study period.
Next StepAnammox seeding will be occurred to MBBR for Anammox bacteria attachment over the heterotrophic layer.
Seed Waste activated sludge :
• Bursa Doğu WWTP’s RAS line.
• WAS supplied from Ataköy
WWTP.

Results & Discussions
Seed• Enriched Anammox seed was supplied from
Bursa Doğu STP Mainstream Anammox
Pilot Plant .
• Anammox bacteria were in granular form
(0.5-1cm) they were transformed to free
cells with magnetic stirrer.
• MBBR was designed as batch at first phase then continuous flow was provided in the reactor.
• pH: 7.5 Temperature: Room Temperature Dissolved Oxygen: 6 mg/L

Aim of the StudyEvaluating different start-up strategies to provide quick attachment on carriers for Anammox process in MBBR systems.
• Anammox bacteria are slow growing organisms and they are not easily attach to hydrophobic carrier.
