Over a 7-months period, a pilot was fed with variable inlet concentrations and hydraulic loading rates of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 m3.m-2. Two aeration strategies were tested, intermittent aeration and continuous aeration, and their results were compared. Online measurement of NH4-N and NO3-N helps to balance nitrogen oxidation processes during a feeding event. The average removal rates of TSS, COD, dissolved COD (CODs), and NH4-N were always above 74%. Despite continuous aeration had showed higher oxygen concentration, the percentage of untreated NH4-N leaving the filter was similar in both aeration strategies. Additionally, higher NO3-N outflow loads during continuous aeration may be explained by temperature effect. Ongoing tests aim to reach a better comprehension on nitrogen conversion processes.
