The paper presents the study correlating the profile of on-line monitoring parameters and nutrient removal in an intermittent cyclic process bioreactor (ICPBR) system, thereby utilizing the parameters as operational tool. A laboratory scale ICPBR was employed to treat low C/N ratio domestic wastewater from a township. The study was conducted for correlating biological nutrient removal and on-line monitored parameters pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). The results revealed that pH, DO and ORP related with the dynamic behavior of nutrient concentration (NH₄-N, NO₃-N, and PO₄-P) during treatment in an ICPBR system. The variation in pH and ORP of the reactor liquor correlate to conversion of ammonia (NH₄-N) and nitrate (NO₃-N) concentrations, respectively. As the bioconversion of ammonia nitrogen and phosphorus are related to the varying profile of the on-line monitored parameters, the profiles could possibly be used as onsite process control parameters.
