SHARON Wastewater Treatment
SHARON is a sewage treatment process.
A partial nitrification process of sewage treatment used for the removal of ammonia and organic nitrogen components from wastewater flow streams. The process results in stable nitrite formation, rather than complete oxidation to nitrate. Nitrate formation by nitrite oxidising bacteria is prevented by adjusting temperature, pH, and retention time to select for nitrifying ammonia oxidising bacteria .
Denitrification of waste streams utilizing SHARON reactors can proceed with an anoxic reduction, such as anammox.
