Diversity of Eukaryotic Algae in Propylene Oxide Saponification Wastewater Activated Sludge

Ammonia Wastewater Treatment by Immobilized Activated Sludge

Textile wastewater treatment: aerobic granular sludge vs activated sludge systems.

Textile effluents are characterised by high content of recalcitrant compounds and are often discharged (together with municipal wastewater to increase their treatability) into centralized wastewater treatment plants with a complex treatment scheme. This paper reports the results achieved adopting a granular sludge system (sequencing batch biofilter granular reactor - SBBGR) to treat mixed munic...

Effects of pistachio processing wastewater on treatment efficiency of urban wastewater using activated sludge process

Background: In this study, the effect of wastewater produced by pistachio processing in processing terminals on wastewater treatment plants with activated sludge process was investigated. Methods: The pilot of activated sludge was constructed at the laboratory scale similar to wastewater treatment plant in Kerman and it was investigated in different ratios of the wastewater of pistachio proces...

Experimental Comparison of Two Modifications of Activated Sludge for Treatment of Furfural-Containing Wastewater

 A case study is presented in which two modifications of activated sludge treatment of complex chemical wastewater are experimentally compared: a combination of common activated sludge with powdered activated carbon treatment (PACT), and bioaugmentation of activated sludge treatment (BAST). Industrial wastewater of Pars Oil Refinery that was passed through an oil recovery stage was used to inve...

Modeling and Experimental Prediction of Wastewater Treatment Efficiency in Oil Refineries Using Activated Sludge Process

In this study, activated sludge process for wastewater treatment in a refinery was investigated. For such purpose, a laboratory scale rig was built. The effect of several parameters such as temperature, residence time, effect of Leca (filling-in percentage of the reactor by Leca) and UV radiation on COD removal efficiency were experimentally examined. Maximum COD removal efficiency was obtained...
