1)Sampling of TP failed

2)The Hofmansgave facility was only in operation from February to April in both monitoring periods due to technical problems. In the beginning of the second year, all woodchips were removed and stored, and a new membrane was installed. Hereafter, woodchips were filled into the bioreactor again
