The first of the two reviews, “Simultaneous Biological Nutrient Removal: A State-of-the-Art Review” by Glen T. Daigger and Helen X. Littleton, continued the release, adds to the knowledge base about biological nutrient removal (BNR) by using tools such as computational fluid dynamics to describe situations where existing flow patterns lead to fluctuating dissolved oxygen concentrations.
