The applicability of set-point titration for monitoring biological processes has been widely demonstrated in the literature. Some operating procedures have been specifically developed to be applied to biological nitrogen removal, so that real-time information about the process and/or the effects of the influent on nitrifying biomass can be obtained. This, in turn, would allow plant operators to select the most appropriate actions to protect the nitrification capacity of the plant. Operating modes for the detection of influent toxicity and for the monitoring of the maximum nitrification capacity are here described, together with the preliminary results of an on-going experimentation. These results have been obtained by means of an automated titrator TITAAN (TITrimetric Automated ANalyser) which is in operation on a pilot scale SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor) fed on real wastewater.

Abstract
The applicability of set-point titration for monitoring biological processes has been widely demonstrated in the literature. Some operating procedures have been specifically developed to be applied to biological nitrogen removal, so that real-time information about the process and/or the effects of the influent on nitrifying biomass can be obtained. This, in turn, would allow plant operators to select the most appropriate actions to protect the nitrification capacity of the plant. Operating modes for the detection of influent toxicity and for the monitoring of the maximum nitrification capacity are here described, together with the preliminary results of an on-going experimentation. These results have been obtained by means of an automated titrator TITAAN (TITrimetric Automated ANalyser) which is in operation on a pilot scale SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor) fed on real wastewater.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
