Part 3: Removal of N: Nitrification With RBC System
This document discusses nitrification in 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 conditions suitable for nitrification by having oxygenated wastewater continuously contact the biofilm-coated media to support the growth of nitrifying bacteria. Proper design and operation parameters are required to achieve effective nitrification in RBC systems.
