Removing Nitrate With a Methylotrophic Fluidized Bed: Microbiological Water Quality

Fluidized-bed denitrification of surface water with methanol as the carbon source is currently being studied in Belgium. Residual methanol and microbial excretion products increased the dissolved assimilable organic carbon in the reactor effluent. Hyphomicrobium sp. was isolated as a methylotrophic denitrifier of primary importance. The anoxic denitrifying environment apparently provides a favorable niche for a large diversity of associated bacterial strains. Hydraulic shear resulted in the constant washout of these indicator species from the reactor
