The invention discloses apparatus and method for removing
nitrogen and
phosphorus by adopting a denitrifying
ammonium oxidation (DEAMOX)-based post anoxic filter enhanced anaerobic-anoxic-axic+biological aerated filter (AAO+BAF) process, and belongs to the field of
sewage treatment by adopting an
activated sludge method. The apparatus for removing
nitrogen and
phosphorus by adopting the DEAMOX-based post anoxic filter enhanced AAO+BAF process mainly consists of AAO treatment, a secondary
sedimentation tank, a BAF and a post anoxic filter. By controlling average
hydraulic retention time to be within 3-8 hours in an anoxic zone under the condition of low C / N ratio, the method for removing
nitrogen and
phosphorus by adopting the DEAMOX-based post anoxic filter enhanced AAO+BAF process is capable of synchronously realizing
denitrification and phosphorus removal. The BAF is utilized so as to realize highly efficient
nitrification. The post anoxic filter is arranged so as to mix
ammonia nitrogen (NH4<+>-N) in the water discharged from the secondary
sedimentation tank with
nitrate nitrogen (NO3<->-N) in the water discharged from the BAF; and
carbon source is added, so that short-
cut denitrification and DEAMOX reaction occur in the post anoxic filter. Thus, the
disadvantage of an AAO + BAF process, namely existence of
nitrate nitrogen, is solved so as to further remove
total nitrogen in
municipal sewage. The apparatus and method for removing nitrogen and phosphorus by adopting the DEAMOX-based post anoxic filter enhanced AAO+BAF process are suitable for construction,
upgrade reconstruction and the like of municipal
wastewater treatment plants under low C / N ratio
municipal sewage conditions; and requirements on
total nitrogen and stable quality of discharged water are met.
