To improve the deficiencies of the traditional Aerated Submerged Filters (ASF) in removing Nitrogen and Phosphorus ,a study of treating domestic sewage from the Taipei Min- Seng Domestic Sewage Treatment Plant by operating an ASF with intermettent aeration patterns of different aeration time scales(100%, 75% and 50% of the Hydraulic Retention Time, HRT) was conducted. The results of the studies are found as follow: 1.Under the condition of 75% aeration time scales of an 8 hours'' HRT, a 61% TN removal can be accomplished, and of an 12 hours'' HRT, a 77% amonia nitrogen removal can be accomplished. 2.While the influent ratio of TBOD/TN =3.23, SBOD/TN =1.3, a 64% TN removal can be accomplished. In the other hand, and the influent ratio of TBOD/TN=1.79, SBOD/ TN=0.38, only 1% TN is removed. 3.Every substrate has a linear relationship between the unit area loading rates and unit area removal rates. For example, the relationship is Lr = 0.88Lo + 0.024 for TBOD under the condition of 100% aeration time scales. 4.The unit area removal rate is 0.196 g amonia nitrogen per squared meter per day under the condition of 100% aera- tion time scales when the unit area loading rate is 0.3g amonia nitrogen per squared meter per day. 5.Because of the low wash-out frequency of Biomass, the removals of TP were not obvious in the intermettent aeration systems. 6.When the unit area loading rates are higher than 0.256g TN/ per squared meter per day, the operation of 75% aera- tion time scale can obtain higher unit area removal rates
