Over the past few decades, more and more stringent standards are being enforced for the industries generating effluents with high organic and inorganic nitrogen. Biochemical nitrification of industrial wastewater is a two step process involving two different types of micro organisms. These microorgnisms have low cell yield and poor flocculating properties. Moreover, these micro organisms are sensitive to environmental conditions within the reactor e.g. pH, salinity, presence of toxic and inhibitory substances and COD:N ratios. Due to complex nature of industrial effluents, achieving stable nitrification is often a challenge due to frequent wash outs and inhibition effects of the wastewater matrix itself. Application of Levapor Technology allows for retention of very high amount of nitrification biomass within the biological reactor. Carbon impregnation and inner porosity of Levapor carriers also provides protection against toxic shock loads, changing hydraulic and organic loading conditions under a wide range of physico chemical properties specific to industrial effluents.
