Applications

Nitrification

In the nitrification process (Fig. 9-1) MARPAK 
MXF Series fixed film reactor provides an 
effective means of oxidizing ammonia nitrogen of 
secondary treated wastewater.

Nitrifying trickling filters require less mechanical 
equipment, less operating power and less 

attention than the activated sludge process 
(Fig. 9-3). Nitrifying trickling filters are less 
effected by cold temperature than the 
activated sludge process (Fig. 9-4).

MARPAK nitrification fixed film reactor, 
when preceded by clarified secondary 
effluent with the BOD

5

 below 35 mg/l, will 

continue to reduce suspended solids and 
BOD

5

 to a level below 20 mg/l.

A performance curve for nitrification is 
shown in Fig. 9-2.
