Technology Assessments: Nitrogen Removal Using Oxidation Ditches

Abstract

This report compares several denitrification processes that use oxidation ditches, a popular method of secondary treatment for wastewater; the performance, cost, and ease of operation are rated, based on full-scale tests over a wide range of operating conditions. 2000. 81 pages. Soft cover.

Originally funded as WERF project 96-CTS-1.
