The purpose of these studies was to examine the effect of complete biomass retention in a membrane separation bioreactor against the severe conditions at low temperature. The bioreactor was operated under intermittent aeration of a 180-minute operational cycle to achieve simultaneous nitrification and denitriflcation for nitrogen removal.

Nitrogen removal started to deteriorate as temperature dropped to 10°C and from more than 90°C at 25°C reached 20 ° at 5°C. Increasing oxygen supply by increasing aeration time in the operational cycle could completely recover nitrification at 10°C. High nitrogen removal was again achieved by the introduction of a non-aeratlon period. 4 Membrane Technology No. 48
