N2  - The Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) system consisting of closely  spaced disks has shown great promise as a biological nitrification process.  This study was conducted on upgrading an activated sludge plant with rota-  ting biological contactors incorporated in its aeration tanks, in this case  called SURFACT process.  A single, fundamental model of biological kinetics (Monad's type equa-  tion) is shown to be capable of accurately predicting the performance of a  bench-scale SURFACT process for COD removal and nitrification. SURFACT and  the conventional activated sludge process behave similarly; it means that  the microorganisms on the disks perform the same work as those in suspension.  Therefore the Monad's model, which is based on fundamental and independently  obtainable parameters of bacterial kinetics and limiting substrate, can help  suggest useful process and indicate that the application of RBC units to an  existing activated sludge plant can achieve the purposes of upgrading and  nitrification.  A series of COD removal and nitrification experiments using a completely  mixed batch reactor was carried out to verify the proposed model. A high  ammonia content sludge supernatant was used as the source of wastewater.  Experimental variables were MLSS concentration, and influent substrate concentration.
