[Effects of COD/TN and HRT(s) on nutrients removal by an alternating anoxic/oxic CAST].

The effects of different COD/TN and HRT(s) (hydraulic retention time of select) on nutrients removal were investigated by using an alternating anoxic/oxic CAST (cyclic activated sludge technology) fed with municipal wastewater. The results showed that various COD/TN and HRT(s) had a bigger influence on the nitrogen removal efficiency rather than the COD removal efficiency. As the influent C/N ratios were about 2.
