NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recognizes the critical challenge of effectively treating industrial wastewater, particularly concerning nitrogen removal. A key aspect of this process often involves denitrification, a biological process where nitrate is converted into nitrogen gas. This process, however, frequently requires an external carbon source to function optimally, especially when dealing with wastewaters that have a low biodegradability or insufficient natural carbon content.

One highly effective external carbon source that has gained significant attention in the field is glucose. When incorporated into anoxic reactors, glucose acts as an essential electron donor. This role is paramount for the bacteria responsible for denitrification to efficiently convert nitrates and nitrites into nitrogen gas, which then escapes into the atmosphere. Without an adequate carbon supply, the denitrification process can be sluggish, leading to lower total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiencies.

Research indicates that the optimal addition of glucose can substantially increase TN removal efficiencies. Studies have shown that by strategically introducing glucose, wastewater treatment plants can achieve significantly higher rates of nitrogen removal compared to systems relying solely on the wastewater's intrinsic carbon sources. This is particularly beneficial for industrial wastewater, which can be complex and contain recalcitrant organic compounds that hinder natural biological processes.

Furthermore, the addition of glucose not only benefits denitrification but can also aid in the removal of other pollutants. It can act as a co-substrate, supporting the breakdown of recalcitrant organic compounds that might otherwise persist through conventional treatment. This dual action makes glucose a valuable tool for improving overall wastewater quality.

The precise dosage of glucose is crucial for maximizing benefits while remaining cost-effective. Excessive amounts can lead to inefficiencies or undesirable byproducts, while insufficient amounts may not provide the necessary boost. The optimal ratio of glucose carbon to the wastewater's original chemical oxygen demand (COD) has been identified through various studies, typically falling within a specific range. For those looking to buy or purchase this solution, understanding these optimal parameters is key to achieving the best results.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing advanced solutions for wastewater treatment. By leveraging the power of glucose as an external carbon source, we help facilities enhance their denitrification capabilities and achieve superior water treatment outcomes.
