“…In the recent years some authors reported that it is possible to use the electrical conductivity of the liquid phase as an estimate of the nitrogen species concentration when a biotrickling filter was used for the treatment of ammonia emissions (Melse et al 2012;Pongkua et al 2020). In order to explore whether similar correlations could be observed on a bioscrubber used for the treatment of high ammonia loading rates, the electrical conductivity of the liquid phase was monitored.…”

This work presents a novel bioscrubber configuration for the treatment of high ammonia loads at short contact times. The biological reactor was designed to work as a moving-bed biofilm rector (MBBR) increasing biomass retention time. This configuration is still unexplored for the treatment of waste gases. Long-term operation of a lab-scale bioscrubber under different inlet concentration of ammonia (60-570 ppm v ) and a gas contact time of 4 s was performed to study the system operational limits during 250 days. The effect of the dissolved oxygen concentration on the nitrification rate was also evaluated. Under these conditions a critical elimination capacity (EC) of 250 NH 3 ꞏm -3 ꞏh -1 and a maximum EC of 300 g NH 3 ꞏm -3 ꞏh -1 were obtained. The maximum nitrification rate obtained was 0.5 kg Nꞏm -3 ꞏday -1 . However, this nitrification rate only was possible to be achieved under partial nitrification. For complete nitrification, the critical nitrification rate was 0.3 kg Nꞏm -3 ꞏday -1 . These results confirm that bioscrubber coupled to a MBBR is a good alternative to treat high ammonia loads with remarkable advantages, such as the retention of properly biomass concentration without auxiliary equipment.
