<p>In a vertical shaft bioreactor, improved devices and methods are provided fo r enhanced secondary and/or tertiary treatment of wastewater, including residential, municipal and industrial wastewater. The devices and methods of the invention are useful for enhanced secondary wastewater treatment, including BOD and TSS removal. Tertiary treatment can alternately or additionally be achieved in the biorecator with nitrification of ammonia, wi th nitrification and denitrification, and with nitrification, denitrification, and chemical phosphorus removal. A vertical shaft bioreactor is also provide d which achieves thermophilic aerobic digestion and pasteurization of sewage sludges, optionally to produce class A biosolids.</p> |
