Journal ArticleDOI
Coliform concentration reduction and related performance evaluation of a down-flow anaerobic fixed bed reactor treating low-strength saline wastewater
TL;DR: In this study, a laboratory down-flow anaerobic fixed bed reactor (DFAFBR) was used for treating saline wastewater and showed that at sea salts concentrations in the range from 5 to 15 g/l, total coliform concentration reduction efficiencies higher than 97% were achieved.

Oil Water Separation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that steel, aluminum, food, textile, leather, petrochemical, and metal finishing are sources of high concentrations of oil and grease in their wastewaters as shown in Table 1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate of tetracycline resistant bacteria as a function of activated sludge process organic loading and growth rate.
TL;DR: Based on evaluation parameters, increases in organic loading and growth rate both resulted in amplification of tetracycline resistance, indicating that biological wastewater treatment plants, such as the activated sludge process, may be significant sources of antibiotic resistance to the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and calibration of a mathematical model for the simulation of the biofiltration process
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model has been developed to understand better the operating conditions that influence the efficiency of a biofiltration process, which allows the calculation of the COD and N-NH 4 + profiles along the filter height and inside the biofilm and simulates filter clogging due to the biomass growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced biological denitrification in the cyclic rotating bed reactor with catechol as carbon source.
TL;DR: The CRBR is a high rate bioreactor and thus serves as an appropriate technology for denitrification of wastewaters containing a high concentration of nitrate and toxic organic compounds.
