Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients if in excessive amount pollute lakes, drinking water wells, streams, and wetlands. Most nutrients come from human activities and through municipal and home sewage systems. Wastewater treatment plants are required to remove nutrients such as nitrogen before their discharge to water bodies. This research investigates using BioCord biofilm technology to remove nitrogen from domestic wastewater. Currently, the BioCord technology has been successful in several municipal wastewater applications, including lagoons and wastewater stabilization ponds. Specifically, it has shown an ability to reduce levels of ammonia and biological oxygen demand at a lower cost from incoming waste streams and during cold weather conditions. Its semi-passive operation allows for high treatment efficiencies with minimal operator oversight, footprint, and operational/capital costs. However, as regulatory bodies continue to update effluent limit guidelines to keep up with growing environmental concerns, it is anticipated that reductions of total nitrogen, not just ammonia will become increasingly desirable. This research evaluates a new opportunity to manage nitrogen at a higher intensity and lower energy input. By understanding the mechanisms of total nitrogen removal within the BioCord Reactor and discerning the effect of oxygen delivery on total nitrogen reductions, Bishop Water Technologies has the potential to remain competitive in the wastewater treatment technology industry by providing a comprehensive solution with an ability to meet future targets for treatment.

氮是一种主要的营养物质，如果过量污染湖泊，饮用水威尔斯，溪流和湿地。大多数营养物质来自人类活动以及市政和家庭污水系统。废水处理厂需要在将氮等营养物质排放到水体之前去除氮等营养物质。本研究采用BioCord生物膜技术对生活污水进行脱氮处理。目前，BioCord技术已成功应用于多个城市废水处理领域，包括泻湖和废水稳定池。具体而言，它已经显示出以较低成本从进入的废物流和在寒冷天气条件下降低氨和生物需氧量水平的能力。其半被动操作允许以最小的操作员监督、占地面积和运营/资本成本实现高处理效率。然而，随着监管机构继续更新污水限制指南以跟上日益增长的环境问题，预计减少总氮而不仅仅是氨将变得越来越可取。这项研究评估了一个新的机会，以更高的强度和更低的能量输入管理氮。通过了解BioCord反应器内总氮去除的机制，并识别氧气输送对总氮减少的影响，Bishop Water Technologies有可能通过提供具有满足未来处理目标能力的综合解决方案，在废水处理技术行业保持竞争力。
