ABSTRACT:

Incomplete nitrification was studied in a completely and partially submerged rotating biological contactor (RBC). In a partially submerged RBC without additional aeration, 50 to 90% nitrite accumulation (α) was achieved at rotation speeds (ω) of 2 to 18 min^sup -1^. In a completely submerged RBC operating during 80 days, a higher α of 96% was achieved at ω = 2 min^sup -1^. Incomplete nitrification in a completely submerged RBC at oxygen concentrations of 1...
