Intermittent Aeration and Biological Phosphorous Removal 1
For nitrogen removal with intermittent aeration, the ratio between anoxic phases and aerobic phases
(VD/VAT) is equal to (ATV-DVWK-A 131E, 2000):
VD S 2.9
= NO 3, D ×

where:
The cycle time (tT) can be determined as follows (ATV-DVWK-A 131E, 2000):
S NO 3, EST
tT = t R × ³2h
S NH 4, N
where:
Therefore, the duration of anoxic (tD) and aerobic phases (tN) is equal to:
