Q » What is biological nitrogen removal (BNR)?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Biological nitrogen removal (BNR) is a process used in wastewater treatment to eliminate nitrogen compounds, primarily through microbial activity. It involves nitrification, where ammonia is converted to nitrate by bacteria, followed by denitrification, in which nitrate is reduced to nitrogen gas and released into the atmosphere. This process effectively reduces nutrient pollution and helps protect aquatic ecosystems from eutrophication.
