Nutrient removal hybrid process to use suspended and attached growth microorganisms and apply the contact and stabilization process was process obtaining good results to HRT within 6 hours to dominate nitrifier and to promote separation and growth of autotrophs and heterotrophs to pack with EPS(Expanded Poly-Styrene) media in nitrification reactor. An average effluent quality of this process was below 5.2 mg/L, 7.3 mg/L, 4.9 mg/L as $BOD_5,\;COD_{Mn}$, SS concentration and 6.8 mg/L, 0.6 mg/L as T-N, T-P concentration. Also, An average removal efficiency of this process was 94.6%, 79.8%, 94.9% as $BOD_5,\;COD_{Mn}$, SS and 70.8%, 76.9% as T-N, T-P. 16S-rRNA analysis result of microorganisms attached to EPS media was researched Nitrosomonas and Nitrosococcus blown to ammonia-oxidizing bacteria cluster to include Gallionella and these microorganisms were researched to involve about 6% of biofilm attached EPS media. Consequently, this process was treated below 10 mg/L and 1.0mg/L as T-N, T-P concentration at short hydraulic retention time(about 6 hr) to dominate nitrifier.
