A Study on the Start-up Period of Underground Infiltration System Treating Rural Domestic Sewage

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studied the removal effect of domestic sewage nitrogen and phosphorus during the start-up period of underground infiltration system. The experiment is conducted under the conditions of influent temperature 9~10°C, hydraulic loading 0.04m3·m-2·d-1, COD concentration 112.31~143.49mg / L, NH4+-N 20.93~27.26mg / L and TP 2.12~2.86mg / L. The experimental results showed the removal rate of COD, NH4+-N and TP was 80%, 98% and 95% respectively. In the start-up period, TN removal was not obviously for 34% removal rate. After treated the effluent nitrate nitrogen concentration was high, showing during the start-up period the nitrification was better than the denitrification. Lacking of carbon source and low temperature may account for this. To improve the conditions of the start-up period, promoting denitrification was the key to improve nitrogen removal rate by underground infiltration system.
