Meeting Strict TN Limits: ANITA™ Mox

The City of Durham, NC, completed a comprehensive wastewater master plan that evaluated different treatment techniques for meeting strict total nitrogen (TN) limits at the South Durham Water Reclamation Facility (SDWRF). The SDWRF will need to meet a TN limit of 3 mg/L at its design flow to comply with the total maximum daily load (TMDL) in the Jordan Lake Watershed, which serves as a source of drinking water in the region. Durham selected Veolia’s ANITA Mox sidestream deammonification system for ammonia and total nitrogen removal.
