Shortcut Nitrogen Removal - Nitrite Shunt and Deammonification

Shortcut nitrogen removal refers to biological nitrogen removal when ammonia is not converted to nitrate, but halts at nitrite to shortcut the conventional nitrification/denitrification process. Shortcut nitrogen removal processes provide significant potential benefits in terms of energy, carbon, and chemical savings compared with conventional biological nitrogen removal. Shortcut Nitrogen Removal-Nitrite Shunt and Deammonification provides owners, managers, engineers, operators, and researchers with a solid understanding of shortcut nitrogen removal and the most current research and cutting-edge industry practices on how to implement these emerging resource-saving technologies in a sustainable manner.
