The novel CANDAN (Complete Ammonium and Nitrate removal via Denitratation-
Anammox over Nitrite) converts nitrate into nitrite by denitratation and then removes both
nitrite and ammonium into nitrogen through anammox, possessing significant economic and
environment advantages compared to traditional processes. It reduces COD demand, oxygen
consumption, sludge production, and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it demonstrates
great technological superiority in achieving high-efficiency nitrogen removal and treating
various nitrogen-containing wastewaters.
Moreover, the novel CANDAN process performing in a single reactor configuration or two
separately dedicated reactors configurations were established to treat low-ammonium
municipal wastewater, nitrate-contained secondary effluent and synthetically high-nitrate
wastewater. It is indicated that CANDAN process is an Effective way to meet stringent
discharge standards with excellent effluent quality, an Efficient way to allow high loading
rate with small footprint, an Economic way to lower operation cost with tremendous interest
and an Environmental-friendly way to lessen by-products generation with great
sustainability. The implementation of CANDAN process would indeed advance the
wastewater treatment towards carbon neutral.
