Wastewater treatment (WWT) is a significant process that is required to protect the environment, with an emphasis on effective pollutant removal and resource recovery [].It has been reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) that 55.5% of global domestic wastewater was safely treated and converted to potable water in 2020 …

However, research on municipal wastewater treatment through PNA, especially in the most common continuous flow activated sludge systems in WWTPs (Jin et al., 2014), is still scarce. Moreover, aside from higher energy gains, the advantages of PNA compared to partial denitrification coupling with anammox (PDA) are not yet clear in …

Municipal Wastewater and Sludge Treatment At municipal wastewater treatment plants in the United States, raw municipal wastewater undergoes preliminary, primary, secondary, and in some cases, additional treatment to yield treated effluent and a concentrated stream of solids in liquid, called sludge. The sludge is treated as required
