Configured. And the wastewater flowing into the denitrification tank 1
Is mixed with the activated sludge and sent to the nitrification tank 2 where the nitrification tank 2
Ammonia nitrogen in wastewater in aerobic conditions
Is processed. Nitrification liquid nitrified in the nitrification tank 2 circulates
Circulated through the pipe 4 to the denitrification tank 1,
The nitrification liquid is denitrified under anaerobic conditions. This allows
Ammoniacal nitrogen in wastewater is removed as nitrogen gas
You. The liquid circulation between the nitrification tank 2 and the denitrification tank 1

And the activated sludge is settled and separated in the solid-liquid separation tank 3.
Release the supernatant.
[0003] By the way, for nitrification in the nitrification tank 2,
Nitrifying bacteria, which are microorganisms, are used for denitrification treatment in the denitrification tank 1.
Because the growth ability is smaller than the denitrifying bacteria that are microorganisms,
Nitrification performance decreases in winter or the like when the water temperature decreases.
As a countermeasure for this, in recent years, carriers supporting nitrifying bacteria at high concentration
Into the nitrification tank 2 to improve the nitrification performance.
Has been done. In addition, waste that flows into the nitrification tank 2 from the denitrification tank 1
Water flows into the upstream position of the nitrification tank 2 and flows out from the downstream position
I do. Therefore, when the carrier is used, the nitric acid in the nitrification tank 2
In order to maintain good gasification performance,
To prevent the carrier from shifting to the downstream side.
Must be prevented from flowing out of the nitrification tank 2
You. For this reason, the carrier is placed in the nitrification tank 2 at an upstream position in the nitrification tank 2.
