Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in fixed film applications
Published on by Karl-Uwe Schmitz, President at Aqua Equip Technologies LLC (AET LLC)
In Wastewater treatment denitrification describes the final step of the conversion from ammonium NH4+ to Nitrogen gas N2. After ammonium is oxidized by microorganisms in a 2-step process ammonium is at first converted to Nitrate NO3-. Nitrate NO3- is still in the wastewater and although is less harmful than ammonia it can still cause diseases.

In most cases the nitrate formed by oxidation of ammonia and nitrite is utilised by other bacteria as a nitrogen source and is not free to "cause disease"
