ANITATM Shunt is an innovative technology to eliminate ammonia in highly-loaded effluents while meeting environmental objectives in terms of carbon footprint reduction.
Overview
ANITATM Shunt is ideal for plant upgrades or installations where a simple solution for increased nitrogen removal is required.
ANITATM Shunt uses a traditional activated sludge and a sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) to stop nitrogen oxidation at the nitrate stage (NO2-) and to reduce the quantity of biological sludge produced.
The process is designed to treat highly-loaded effluents with a N-NH4 concentration of over 100 mg N/l.
A versatile range of use
- Biological treatment coupled with anaerobic digestion using methanol during post-denitrification
- Leachate from sludge composting or co-digestion platforms
- Liquid from advanced sludge treatment following
> Thermal drying
> Hydrothermal oxidation
> Thermal hydrolysis + anaerobic digestion
> Anaerobic digestion
> Digestion + lysis + digestion
