The feasibility of nitrite accumulation in a pilot-scale A/O (anoxic/oxic) nitrogen removal plant treating domestic wastewater was investigated at various dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations and pH levels. The results showed that the pH was not a useful operational parameter to realize nitrite accumulation. Significant nitrite accumulation was observed at the low DO concentration range of 0.3-0.8 mg/l and the maximum nitrite accumulation ratio of about 90% occurred at a DO concentration of 0.6 mg/l. This suggests a reduction of 22% in the oxygen consumption, and therefore a considerable saving in aeration. However, the nitrite accumulation was destroyed at the high DO concentration and the resumption was very slow. In addition, the average ammonia removal efficiency reached as high as 93% at the low DO level. Moreover, experimental results indicated that nitrogen could be removed by simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) via nitrite in the aerobic zones at the low DO concentration, with the efficiency of 6-12%.
