Abstract

La dénitrification dans le cadre de procédés relatifs à des biofilms sessiles, représente un problème qui jusqu'à présent dans les techniques des eaux usées n'a pas été solutionné de manière satisfaisante. En tant que donneur d'électrons pour l'oxydation du nitrate, des eaux usées sont remises en circulation ou du carbone artificiel est ajouté, les deux techniques s'avérant complexes et coûteuses. Le procédé selon l'invention permet de palier ces inconvénients et est mis en oeuvre avec des organismes qui sont en mesure de prendre en charge des électrons directement d'une cathode. Le procédé est écologique pour différents aspects : la consommation de courant est significativement réduire; la quantité de boues produite est réduire; et le processus est facilement réglable. Un avantage important pour l'environnement réside dans le fait que des systèmes économes en énergie comprenant des biofilms sessiles peuvent facilement et pour des frais limités, faire l'objet d'un renouvellement d'équipement.
