Abstract
A hydrogenotrophic denitrification system, comprising a suspended growth membrane bioreactor (MBR) with membrane hydrogen gas diffusion, was developed to remove nitrate from groundwater. A hollow fiber gas permeable membrane module was designed for hydrogen delivery and a commercially available hollow fiber membrane module was used for solid/liquid separation. The MBR was operated at an SRT of 20 days and at room temperature. Four nitrate loading rates of 24, 48, 96 and 192 NO3(-)-N mg I(-1) d(-1) were applied to the system. As the nitrate loading was raised, pH increased due to increased denitrification and release of OH- ions. The oxidation reduction potential (ORP) remained fairly stable when full denitrification was achieved, but increased when nitrate loading rates reached 192 NO3(-)-N mg I(-1) d(-1) and residual nitrate was present in the reactor. Nitrate removal was complete (100%) in the first three nitrate loadings and 72% in the system with 192 NO3(-)-N mg I(-1) d(-1). Nitrate utilization rates of 30.6, 23.4, and 37.7 g NO3(-)-N m(-3) d(-1) were achieved in the first three loadings. Average effluent dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration of approximately 8 mg l(-1) was observed in all four nitrate loading regimes, possibly owing to the generation and release of soluble microbial bi-products (SMP).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
