Nitrification Capacity
Influent TKN - two fractions; Organic N and Free and Saline NH3,
Enzymatic conversion of bulk of Organic N to NH3,
N in activated sludge-10 % of VSS in WAS, Always 2-3 mg/L TKN in effluent,
Ncapacity = TKNinf - (TKNeff + TKNsludge).
To Remove 1 g NH4-N:
4.6 g Oxygen required,
0.15 g New Cells formed,
7.14 g Alkalinity (as CaCO3) destroyed,
0.08 g Inorganic Carbon consumed.

MBRs are designed for higher MLSS which reduces volume (foot print)
of reactor. Elimination of clarifiers reduces footprint of plant
