Development of electro-post-denitrification system for complete reduction of nitrate

The main objective of the submitted project is to develop an electro-post-denitrification (EPD) unit that will allow biological removal of residual nitrate concentrations from wastewater without the need for dosing of an external organic substrate. The partial objectives of the project are as follows: - to design, parameterize and build a laboratory electro-post-denitrification unit - to put the EPD unit into operation and carry out tests with EPD unit firstly on model water and then on real wastewater - to continuously optimize the operation of the EPD unit based on the results achieved - to isolate a microbial consortium that has been exposed to electric fields for a long time

This project is funded with state support from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic
