Part 3: Removal of N: Nitrification With RBC System
This document discusses nitrification processes for removing nitrogen from wastewater using rotating biological contactor (RBC) systems. It explains that nitrification is a two-step biological process where ammonia is first converted to nitrite then to nitrate by nitrifying bacteria. RBC systems provide media for the growth of nitrifying bacteria and are effective at nitrifying wastewater to meet discharge standards with typical nitrogen removal rates of 80-90%.
