Chapter 6Figure 6.2. Evolution of (a) DTN concentration in the UASB effluent () <strong>and</strong> in thepermeate (•); (b) N-NH 4+(•) <strong>and</strong> N-NO x-concentration (Δ) in the first MBR chamberduring the six experimental periods.Denitrification could proceed using either dissolved methane, or remainingbiodegradable COD at the effluent of the UASB system. Thus, during period IV, methanewas stripped off from the UASB effluent in order to estimate the fraction of nitrogenremoved due to the remaining biodegradable COD. This caused a gradual increase ofDTN concentration in the permeate (figure 6.3). Soluble COD in the UASB effluent during160
