Abstract A pilot-scale (50 ㎥/day) of a single sludge reactor, which contains an anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic reaction zone in a cylindrical single reactor, was evaluated. This process has been developed and designed to remove nutrients as well as organic matters in a single sludge reactor. During the experimental period, special attempts were made to quantify nitrification and denitrification efficiencies and to evaluate factors affecting the performance of nitrogen removal. In the case of removing nitrogen, which consists of nitrification and denitrification reaction under steady-state conditions, the results indicated that seasons` variation of the temperature was a major factor affecting the performance of the nitrogen removal.
