Wherever waste water is discharged into a receiving water of a sensitive area the treatment efficiency has to be increased beyond the removal of easily biodegradable carbonaceous compounds (BOD5). The main requirements are then the removal of nitrogenous and phosphorous compounds in order to prevent eutrophication in the receiving waters. With these requirements a much better removal of carbonaceous matter is achieved too. One of these prerequisites for nitrogen removal is the nitrification process which removes ammonia toxicity from the waste water. The removal of ammonia from the waste water can easily be monitored by the treatment plant operators and can be classified as the best indicator for a stable high treatment efficiency for every waste water.
