a bench scale aerobic sequencing batch reactor (sbr) was evaluated in terms of its potential to treat synthetic dairy wastewater. the 2-l plexiglass bioreactor was supplied with oxygen via a fine bubble air diffuser, fed with synthetic dairy wastewater under various operational conditions. to analyze the process, three significant independent variables — influent chemical oxygen demand (cod), m...

Advance biological wastewater treatment is performed in various ORP conditions including anaerobic, anoxic and oxic processes. For removal of specific industrial and petrochemical contaminants such as: aromatic hydrocarbons (BTX), the anaerobic treatment is recommended as the adequate alternative for their removal. Anaerobic treatment process is well known as an efficient method to degrade high...

To preserve environmental and human health, improved treatment processes are needed to reduce nutrients, microbes, and emerging chemical contaminants from domestic wastewater prior to discharge into the environment. Electrocoagulation (EC) treatment is increasingly used to treat industrial wastewater; however, this technology has not yet been thoroughly assessed for its potential to reduce conc...

Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Advisor (WASDA) is an interactive computer system that could support users for designing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) construction facilities. It is consisting of computation tools and information management capabilities, developed to aid decision makers especially engineers in solving problem on wastewater treatment process. For design purposes, WASDA can...

Background: Considering the toxic effects of heavy metals and microbial pathogens in industrial wastewaters, it is necessary to treat metal and microbial contaminated wastewater prior to disposal in the environment. The purpose of this study is to assess the removal of heavy metals pollution and microbial contamination from a mixture of municipal and industrial wastewater using membrane bioreac...

background and aims: the removing of (potential) toxic heavy metal ions from sewage, especially in industrial and mining waste effluents, has been widely studied in recent years. the aim of present study was to investigate the various methods for lead removal of lead ions from industrial wastewater. methods: this study was a review research. data were collected through different databases in va...
