Abstract:Nitrifying trickling filters (NTFs) represent an effective technology for water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) to achieve compliance with ammonia-N permits. However, while the potential benefits of NTFs are many, the design methods and associated parameter databases are underdeveloped. Research herein focused on analysis of pilot-scale NTF data to develop enhanced design guidance. r values ranged from 1.19-3.38 gN m*d, and correlated with influent ammonia-N concentration and loading. The transition conce… Show more
