Abstract

Water is a universal solvent that is used both for domestic and commercial purposes. Used water is referred to as wastewater which is released in a varying quantity of volumes to the environment. Wastewater could be point source or non-point source. This water consists of wastes, solid, liquid and gaseous. Ammonia, also known as NH3, is a colourless gas with a discrete odour and a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, but when the compressed liquid of anhydrous ammonia gets into the atmosphere, it turns into a dangerous gas. In order to minimize these effects, both biological and physico-chemical technologies have been applied in the elimination of ammonium from wastewaters for a long period; however, these methods are not very effective in the removal of this ammonium, in accordance to the stringent discharge standards; hence, more effective technologies are called out, and one of these effective and efficient technologies is referred to as anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX). ANAMMOX process is an economical and energy-saving biotechnology that encompasses a great potential in the treatment of ammonium-rich wastewaters, especially after its successful case in the treatment of sludge digest liquids. This chapter is therefore written to focus on ANAMMOX organisms, their applications in wastewater treatment and their advantages and disadvantages.
