The aim of this work was to model the performance of a vertical flow (VF) wetland for nitrogen compound removal from dairy wastewater. A pilot-scale system was monitored and the collected data were used to fit stepwise multiple linear regression (SMLR) models. The obtained results showed the competition for oxygen consumption among the pollutants through the ammonification and nitrification processes. The modelling can be used with the international design guidelines to obtain a suitable dimensioning to the treatment requirements in the specific environmental conditions of the application site.
