Abstract

Effluents coming from anaerobic digesters are characterized by a COD/N ratio between 2 and 10, high ammonia NH₄⁺ concentrations about 500 mg/L and a temperature range of 25-35°C. To remove nitrogen from these effluents biological processes as the autotrophic denitrification with sulfur compounds, hydrogen or methane can be applied. The main goal of this chapter is to describe and evaluate the use of these processes from an economic point of view. The methanotrophic denitrification is the cheapest alternative to remove nitrate from effluents with low COD/N ratios.
