dc.description.abstractA sensor‐mediated strategy was applied to a laboratory‐scale granular sludge reactor (GSR) to demonstrate that energy‐efficient inorganic nitrogen removal is possible with a dilute mainstream wastewater. The GSR was fed a dilute wastewater designed to simulate an A‐stage mainstream anaerobic treatment process. DO, pH, and ammonia/nitrate sensors measured water quality as part of a real‐time control strategy that resulted in low‐energy nitrogen removal. At a low COD (0.2 kg m−3 day−1) and ammonia (0.1 kg‐N m−3 day−1) load, the average degree of ammonia oxidation was 86.2 ± 3.2% and total inorganic nitrogen removal was 56.7 ± 2.9% over the entire reactor operation. Aeration was controlled using a DO setpoint, with and without residual ammonia control. Under both strategies, maintaining a low bulk oxygen level (0.5 mg/L) and alternating aerobic/anoxic cycles resulted in a higher level of nitrite accumulation and supported shortcut inorganic nitrogen removal by suppressing nitrite oxidizing bacteria. Furthermore, coupling a DO setpoint aeration strategy with residual ammonia control resulted in more stable nitritation and improved aeration efficiency. The results show that sensor‐mediated controls, especially coupled with a DO setpoint and residual ammonia controls, are beneficial for maintaining stable aerobic granular sludge.Practitioner pointsTight sensor‐mediated aeration control is need for better PN/A.Low DO intermittent aeration with minimum ammonium residual results in a stable N removal.Low DO aeration results in a stable NOB suppression.Using sensor‐mediated aeration control in a granular sludge reactor reduces aeration cost.Multiple metabolic pathways and competition for nitrite exist in the treatment of anaerobically pretreated mainstream wastewater using a granular sludge reactor.
