Irreversible nitrite-oxidising bacteria inhibition by operational shutdowns for high‑ammonia wastewater treatment: from mechanism insights to pilot‑scale granular sludge reactor verification.

Short-cut nitrogen removal is a promising strategy for treating high-ammonia wastewaters but is hindered by the persistence of nitrite-oxidising bacteria (NOB). This study evaluated whether operational shutdowns could selectively suppress NOB while p…
