The researchers looked at how intermittent aeration and step-feed affect nitrogen removal in a wastewater treatment system. They tested different conditions and found that all three setups removed the same amount of COD (a measure of pollutants) at 91%. The removal of ammonia (NH4+) was also similar, with efficiencies ranging from 92% to 95%. However, total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) removal improved by 4% with intermittent aeration and by 24% with step-feed intermittent aeration. This means that step-feed intermittent aeration significantly increased TIN removal compared to intermittent aeration alone.
