Abstract: In recent years, the partial nitritation and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (PN/A) process has been widely appreciated by many countries around the world. As an autotrophic nitrogen removal process, this process can save more than 60% of the aeration energy consumption, reduce 80% of the residual sludge yield, and do not need to add additional carbon sources. However, this process is faced with several kinds of problems. This paper summarizes several effects of operating parameters on the inhibition of NOB in municipal wastewater treatment, implications of the reactor configuration and operation, and fixed film processes vs. suspended growth systems. The fixed film processes based on Anammox granular sludge and AOB flocculent sludge are alternative. Finally, a new strategy of continuous flow PN/A process with partial nitrification flocculent sludge and Anammox granular sludge was proposed.
