Utilization of an Activated Sludge for the Improvement of an Existing Thermophilic Wastewater Treatment System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A pilot-scale activated sludge system was started to determine its effectiveness in treating the thermophilic biological effluent from an existing organic chemical industrial wastewater treatment system. Preliminary results ...
Optimization of Biological Nutrient Removal in a Membrane Bioreactor System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objective of the present study is to develop a modified membrane bioreactor (MBR) system for the treatment of municipal wastewater for the enhanced biological removal of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) simultaneously ...
Effect of Dynamic Loading on Biological Nutrient Removal in a Pilot-Scale Liquid-Solid Circulating Fluidized Bed Bioreactor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A pilot-scale liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed (LSCFB) bioreactor was employed for biological nutrient removal from municipal wastewater at the Adelaide Pollution Control Plant, London, Ontario, Canada. Lava rock ...
Biodegradability of Surfactants under Aerobic, Anoxic, and Anaerobic Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The biodegradability of two surfactants, Triton X-100 and Rhamnolipid, was tested under aerobic, nitrate reducing, sulfate reducing, and anaerobic conditions in a respirometer. The results indicated that from a biodegradation ...
Simultaneous Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal in a Continuously Fed and Aerated Membrane Bioreactor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research demonstrated the feasibility of simultaneous biological nitrogen and phosphorous removal in a single tank membrane bioreactor without cycling of air and/or feed through operation at a low dissolved oxygen ...
