Comparison of methods for nitrous oxide emission estimation in full-scale activated sludge
Nitrous oxide (N2O) gas transfer was studied in a full-scale process to correlate liquid phase N2O concentrations with gas phase N2O emissions and compare methods of determining the volumetric mass transfer coefficient, KLa. Off-gas and liquid phase monitoring were conducted at the Viikinmäki wastew...

Nitrous oxide (N2O) gas transfer was studied in a full-scale process to correlate liquid phase N2O concentrations with gas phase N2O emissions and compare methods of determining the volumetric mass transfer coefficient, KLa.

KLa was calculated with three methods: empirically, based on aeration superficial velocity, from experimentally determined O2 KLa, and using a static value of best fit.
