Background and purpose: The performance of full-scale moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was evaluated as an alternative for upgrading of Kish Island Mirmohana wastewater treatment plant. In this study activated sludge process upgrade to MBBR process and different operating parameters were compared. Materials and Methods: Effect of upgrading on different parameters such as organic loading rate (...

Nowadays formaldehyde is used as raw material in many industries. It has also disinfection applications in some public places. Due to its toxicity for microorganisms, chemical or anaerobic biological methods are applied for treating wastewater containing formaldehyde.In this research, formaldehyde removal efficiencies of aerobic biological treatment systems including moving bed biofilm (MMBR) a...

ANITATM Mox is a new one-stage deammonification Moving-Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) developed for partial nitrification to nitrite and autotrophic Nremoval from N-rich effluents. This deammonification process offers many advantages such as substancial reduction in aeration requirement and sludge production along with the lack of need for an external carbon source. In this paper, we present the ex...

In this paper, utilization of clustering algorithms for data fusion in decision level is proposed. The results of automatic isolated word recognition, which are derived from speech spectrograph and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis, are combined with each other by using fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially fuzzy k-means and fuzzy vector quantization. Experimental results show that the ...

DNA stability and thiol-disulphide status of rat sperm nuclei was observed in vivo during maturation in the epididymis and penetration of oocytes. When spermatids and spermatozoa were stained with acridine orange after fixation with acetic alcohol, the red/green fluorescence ratio observed under a confocal microscope was not different between spermatids (3.81 +/- 0.16) and testicular spermatozo...

In this study, a municipal lagoon with high wintertime effluent total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentrations was upgraded pilot-scale nitrifying-nitrifying-denitrifying (NIT-NIT-DENIT) moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) treatment train to characterize its over operation, investigate the feasibility of upgrading lagoons achieve substantial biological removal across ultra-low temperatures (0.6–3.0)...

Abstract In this paper, Moving Bed Bioreactor (MBBR) reactor was used as the research object to explore effects of carbon source type on phosphorus removal performance MBBR system and changes microbial metabolic characteristics in typical cycles. The results showed that absorption release by sodium propionate starch were obvious. accumulation degradation PHA glycogen observed three reactors, pr...

Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures ...
