A laboratory-scale pilot plant of moving bed biofilm reactor coupled with membrane bioreactor (MBBR-MBR) was studied regard to wastewater treatment in the textile industry, and reuse feasibility treated water investigated. The comprised two connected parts: an aerobic tank filled carriers a submerged tank. MBBR-MBR system reduced hydraulic retention time 1 day, which is very promising compared ...

This study examines the use of a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) as a tertiary treatment step for ammonia removal in high temperature (35-45°C) effluents, and quantifies different phenotypes of ammonia and nitrite oxidizing bacteria responsible for nitrification at elevated temperatures. Bench scale reactors operating at 35 and 40°C were able to successfully remove greater than 90% of the inf...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of predictions of aniline removal efficiency in a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) by various methods, namely by RBF, ANFIS, and fuzzy regression analysis. The reactor was operated in an aerobic batch and was filled by light expanded clay aggregate (LECA) as a carrier for the treatment of Aniline synthetic wastewater. Exploratory data an...
