Anammox for wastewater treatment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anammox is a wastewater treatment technique that removes nitrogen using anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox).[1] This process is performed by anammox bacteria which are autotrophic, meaning they do not need organic carbon for their metabolism to function. Instead, the metabolism of anammox bacteria convert ammonium and nitrite into dinitrogen gas.[2] Anammox bacteria are a wastewater treatment technique and wastewater treatment facilities are in the process of implementing anammox-based technologies to further enhance ammonia and nitrogen removal.
