Sequencing batch reactors for nitrification and nutrient removal

Technical Report · Tue Sep 01 04:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:7033867

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has supported new developments in wastewater treatment to promote the evolution of more efficient treatment techniques. This report specifically addresses the use of Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) for nitrification and nutrient removal. Although limited use of SBRs began in the 1960s, it was not until the early 1980s that the technology became more widely accepted and used. After early acceptance and use, USEPA expressed increased interest in this technology especially in the comparative costs and performance.
