Table B2. Calculation parameters used to calculate the percentage N 2O-N produced by removed<br />

Assumptions made for this calculation are; (i) that the microorganisms <strong>in</strong> the system are<br />

unaffected of the changed operation conditions dur<strong>in</strong>g the time span of one m<strong>in</strong>ute<br />

when the <strong>production</strong> rate is approximated, (ii)that the mass transfer of <strong>N2O</strong> through the<br />

phase boundary between liquid and air is negligible dur<strong>in</strong>g the time <strong>in</strong>terval of one<br />

m<strong>in</strong>ute, (iii) that there is no net change <strong>in</strong> <strong>production</strong> due to operat<strong>in</strong>g conditions dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
