Abstract

Various studies have been performed to determine the nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from biological nitrogen removal processes during wastewater treatment but standard sampling protocols do not exist for those measurements and very broad ranges of values have been reported. To close this gap this study focuses on the identification of factors influencing the results of full-scale N2O-measurements with different meas-urement techniques. Not only measurable boundary conditions (pH, O2, etc.) but also spatial and temporal effects are taken into account For the calculation of the overall emission The aim of the study is to lay a foundation for more reliable quantification of N2O emissions.
