Abstract

Description of a pilot installation for municipal wastewater treatment. The simultaneous elimination of organic carbon and nitrogen carried out by a fluidized bed reactor with aerobic and anaerobic areas. The presentation of experimental results corresponding to a model of the flow and behaviour of the above mentioned elimination of organic material and nitrogen. Presentation of information concerning the characteristics of COD, N-NH₃, N-NO_x, pH, Redox Potential and D.O. throughout the reactor. Levels of purification reached: COD_S>80%; (BOD₅)_S>90%; N-TKN>80%; N-N_Total>70%.
