Abstract
Abstract A four‐month bench‐scale study was undertaken to assess the capability of the Virginia Initiative Plant (VIP) process for removing nitrogen and phosphorus from domestic wastewater. The VIP configuration consists of an anaerobic/anoxic/oxic treatment sequence for accomplishing organic carbon removal, nitrification, denitrification and phosphorus removal. Average effluent total nitrogen (TN) concentrations ranged from 5.1 to 23.4 mg/L as N, whereas average effluent soluble total phosphorus concentrations ranged from 4.7 to 6.5 mg/L as P. Observed specific nitrification rates (SNRs) ranged from 0.006 to 0.08 mg N/mg MLVSS‐day whereas observed specific denitrification rates ranged from 0.003 to 0.18 mg N/mg MLVSS‐day.
