In this study, a steady-state operation approach is proposed in order to accurately measure the kinetic parameters of substrate (contaminants) removal in wastewater biotreatment systems. In order to determine the kinetic parameters of a submerged membrane bioreactor (sMBR) when treating high-strength ammoniacal nitrogen wastewaters, a lab-scale sMBR was operated for 205 days with synthetic leachates (1000 mg L−1) at 4 different ammoniacal nitrogen concentrations (220, 340, 665 and 1040 mg NH4-N L−1). Ammoniacal nitrogen oxidation rates were calculated by solving the mass balance equations when steady-state conditions were reached for each tested concentration. The Haldane model was found to be accurate when predicting the specific ammoniacal nitrogen oxidation rates with the following kinetic parameters: rNH,max = 854,4 mg NH4-N L−1 d−1, KS = 1007 mg NH4-N L−1, and KI = 221 mg NH4-N L−1 (R2 = 0,97). The highest ammoniacal nitrogen oxidation rate was found to be 162 mg NH4-N L−1 d−1 when the effluent concentration was 472 mg NH4-N L−1. When compared to the conventional flask test approach for calculating the kinetic parameters, the steady-state approach described in this study showed a lower variability in the predicted specific nitrification rates, as well as a lower effect of the inhibition phenomena, due to the mixed liquor being adapted to each substrate concentration tested.
