Abstract
Activated sludge from a new activated sludge modification for biologic al phosphorus and nitrogen removal was studied. Population dynamics an d the phenomenon of anoxic phosphate uptake with simultaneous denitrif ication were investigated. The ability of the process to remove nutrie nts and to suppress filamentous bulking was studied. The course of pho sphate concentrations along the tested system showed an anoxic phospha te uptake with simultaneous denitrification. The mechanism of anoxic p hosphate uptake was confirmed using kinetic batch tests. (C) 1998 IAWQ . Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
