| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emission at a full scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was investigated, in which the same influent sewage was treated by three different activated sludge systems in parallel, to clarify dynamics, mechanisms and countermeasures of the emission. Lower dissolved (D-) N2O concentrations were observed in an anoxic/oxic process with three-step feeding, while higher concentrations were detected at third oxic tank in an anoxic/oxic process. It was also found that sudden decrease of dissolved oxygen concentration induced N2O production in the tank. Evaluation of functional genes associated with N2O production and decomposition indicated that almost no N2O reduction occurred in the oxic tank and dynamics of N2O producing bacteria should be studied more in detail. In conclusion, aeration management is important to mitigate N2O emission from a full scale WWTP.
