All parameters given for a municipal plant
Nitrification Srt
Calculates required solids retention time for nitrification using temperature-corrected nitrifier growth with ammonia and dissolved oxygen limitation factors. The template reports growth factors, net growth rate, and the design SRT implied by a selected safety factor.
