Table 3 Nitrification and denitrification rates and TN removal efficiencies of both SF1 and SF2

From: Effect of COD:N ratio on biological nitrogen removal using full-scale step-feed in municipal wastewater treatment plants

WWTP Influent COD:N ratio (g COD g−1 N) Nitrification rate
(g NH4+-N g− 1 VSS d− 1)
Denitrification rate
(g NO3-N g− 1 VSS d− 1)
TN removal (%)
SF1 4:1 0.55 ± 0.02 0.047 ± 0.003 48 ± 10
SF2 10:1 1.23 ± 0.15 0.12 ± 0.03 59 ± 2
