Roevaluate design Note that some excess capacity is available and is not realized in the initial passes of the symmetsical step-[oed design. Different influent flow splits may be used to reduce the efflucnt nitrate concentration, the anoxi¢ and aerobic volumes can be changed, the anoxic zone may he staged, and the MLSS concentration may be increased. A spreadsheet model is necessary to evaluate various design changes. sama776 | Chapror 8 Suxpended Grewh Biclogica| Featmont Processes Intermittent Aeration Process Design Long SRT systems, such as oxidation ditch processes, may employ intermittent aeration to accomplish both nitvification and denitrification in a single tank. During the aeration- off period, the aeration tank operates essentially us an anoxie reactor as nitvate is used in lieu of DO for BOD removal, uring the anoxic period, the tank operation is similar to a preanoxic tank because influent BOD is added continuously to drive the denitrification reaction, Operation of an oxidation diteh using intermittent aeration is shown on Fig, 8-28. Intermittent aeration systems typically are operated with SRT values in the range of 18 to 40 d and bydraulic detention times in excess of 16 h.
