Abstract This study was carried out to develop the new process for RBC process which is capable of nutrient removal and to obtain its design parameters for Sludge Settling Type Rotating Biological Contactors by comparing RBC with RBC combined with HBR (Hanmee Bio-Reactor). To achieve more than 90% of organic removal efficiency, organic loading rate less than 6.0g BOD/㎡/d is recommended. Nitrification rate was about 90% at 6.0g BOD/㎡/d. TN removal efficiency of RBC+HBR was higher than those of RBCl and RBC2. TN removal efficiency at condition of 5.0g BOD/㎡/d was about 60% in RBCl. When BOD loading rate was 6.0g BOD/㎡/d, TN removal efficiencies in RBC2 and RBC+HBR were about 70%, 80%, respectively. TP removal efficiency was more than about 67% for RBC1, about 63% for RBC2 and about 71% for RBC+HBR at the same loading rate. From the blank experiment to observe removal efficiency in the first stage, it can be known that COD removal efficiency was about 30% and suspend solids settling rate was about 45%. It was proved that RBC+HBR is much better in sludge dewatering than RBC.
