Full-scale investigations have demonstrated that wastewater lagoons combined with rotating biological contactors can be installed for denitrification without much effort when designed for nitrification. By recirculation of a mixture of nitrified wastewater and biological sludge from the outlet of the high loaded sedimentation tank back to the inlet of the sedimentation pond the removal efficiency was consistently high combined with a high process stability. In addition a considerable amount of enhanced biological phosphorus removal could be attained simultaneously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
