Abstract: An enclosed rotating disc unit was operated anaerobically as a denitrifying system, with methanol as the hydrogen donor. As the bacterial population became established, denitrification rate increased by 1·5 mg NO3−—N reduced m−2 h−2, to a maximum rate of 260 mg NO3−—N reduced m−2h−1. The C:N ratio necessary for complete denitrification was found to be 2·6:1. Optimum pH for denitrification lay in the range between pH 7·0 and 8·5. Q10 values were 1·38 between 10 and 30°C, −2·66 above 30°C and 13·06 below 10°C.
