A Simple-Model Describing Nitrate and Nitrite Reduction in Fluidized-Bed Biological Reactors
A uniquely simple model is developed to describe the NO3-, and NO2- concentration profiles within a dentrification fluidized bed biological reactor. This simple model is compared to experimental data, and to a more complex model similar to those previously proposed in the literature. The simple model fits the experimental data at least as well as the more complex model.
