This study deals with the performance of an acivated sludge system which is modified by the researcher to function without any additional chemical or internal recyle in removing organics, nitrogen, and phosphorus from synthetic wastewater. To improve the nutrient removal efficiency, the researcher utilized the anoxic, anaerobic, and aerobic reactor sequences with a single sludge return, whiched to nitrification/denitrification and phosphorus release/overplus accumulation. A bench scale system was operated with a view to investigating the reaction characteristics of each reactor, and to measuring the biological kinetic coefficients(Y, $K_d$, k, $K_s$) for theremoval of COD in relation to the mean cell residence time at five different MLSS concentrations, 5000, 4200, 3300, 2600, and 1900 mg/l. The results of the research showed that organic substance and nutrient were removed simultaneously by this modified activated sludge process. And the process kad 66%-99% ortho-p removal efficiency.
