The process of deammonification for the biological treatment of sludge water was investigated in a full-scale pilot plant at Hattingen, Germany. Since deammonification is a completely autotrophic process, no organic carbon is needed for bacteria growth. So, deammonification is an attractive and cost-effective process for the treatment of wastewater with unfavorable COD/N ratio without using an external carbon source.
