The purpose of nitrate removal
EU regulations[1]:
• 50 mg/l of nitrate
• 0,5 mg/l of nitrite
• The following condition must be achieved:
[nitrate]/50 + [nitrite]/3 ≤ 1
However, water with >25 mg/l of nitrate should already be purified.[2]
USA regulations[3]:
• 10 mg/l of nitrate
• 1 mg/l of nitrite
The water intended for human consumption may contain maximum: The effects of too high concentration of nitrate:
On humans:
• Methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome)
• Carcinogenicity (gastric cancer)
On animals:
• Bad flavor and taste as well as toxic effect on fish
On the environment:
• Eutrophication of lakes and rivers[4]

The quantitative objective is to double the denitrification rate which is in Rampillon typically
below 350 mg of N-NO3/m2/day
Low Nitrate ANR project: to fasten the denitrification in the wetland of Rampillon with electromicrobiology
Conclusions (suite à la table ronde)
L’électromicrobiologie donne l’opportunité de coupler les processus électrochimiques et microbiologique pour le traitement des eaux
Les verrous principaux verrous pour son application hors des laboratoires est la faible conductivité des solutions (mS/cm) et une densité de courant relativement faible (A/m2)
Les processus bioanodiques sont maintenant assez bien connus
Les opportunités se situes du côté des processus biocathodiques pour favoriser des processus de dénitrification, de production de biohydrogène ou encore la récupération de métaux à forte valeur
Intérêt industriel pour les biopiles microbiennes, qui donneraient des opportunités d’innovation dans la filière traitement d’eau
