Ecophysiological characterization of thermophilic anammox process: Impact of environmental conditions and wastewater constituents on the activity of a novel granular thermophilic anammox culture

Key Points

• The thermophilic anammox process shows adaptability to varying environmental conditions, impacting its activity.
• Key evidence suggests that specific wastewater constituents increase the efficiency of the granular thermophilic culture.
• Assessment using performance metrics of thermophilic anammox reveals significant interactions with environmental and wastewater factors.
• Understanding these influences may optimize future applications of anammox technology in wastewater treatment.
