TL;DR: Some mulch materials such as bark, peat and woodchips seem to have a great potential for treatment of greywater in robust, low-tech systems and can be expected to be resilient in dealing with variable low and high organic loads and shock loads.

TL;DR: The new configuration of the sponge-based packing medium called Rotosponge can enhance the feasibility of scaling-up the UASB/TF treatment, including when retrofitting is necessary.

TL;DR: In this article, an ultrasonic-assisted electrochemical reactor and the bioreactor/filter were designed to evaluate the potential applicability of biological trickling filter system and to compare the efficiency of two reactors such as SER and TF for the treatment of textile industry effluents.
Abstract: The research study was conducted to design the ultrasonic-assisted electrochemical reactor and the bioreactor/filter to evaluate the potential applicability of biological trickling filter system and to compare the efficiency of two reactors such as SER and TF for the treatment of textile industry effluents. Also the study to design Sonoelectrolytic process for wastewater treatment of textile industry containing strong color, high temperature, suspended particles and dissolved solid particles has been conducted. Effect to environment and health is caused by oxygen demand (BOD), high chemical oxygen demand (COD). The percentage removal efficiency for wastewater treatment of textile industry by using sonoelectrolytic reactor (SER) was found to be higher than 95% at temperature of 25°C and a pH value of 8.9, while for trickling filter (TF), having adsorbent as a filter medium, efficiency was found to be 95%, and optimum conditions obtained were applied for the treatment of different dye samples. Based on experimental outcomes, it is determined that treatment through SER is done faster than trickling filter because in TF the adsorbent capacity decreases with time and is a time-consuming process, but the chance of deposition on electrodes also increases in SER, so both these processes can yield better results if these problems are eliminated.

TL;DR: In this paper, preliminary, primary, secondary, and final treatment methods for wastewater generated from domestic sources are well documented and designed, for the most important biological processes like trickling filters, an activated sludge process apart from the normal treatment designs is discussed in this chapter.
Abstract: In this chapter, the term wastewater includes liquids and waterborne solids from domestic or commercial uses as well as other waters that have been used in man's activities, whose quality has been degraded, and which are discharged to a sewage system. Domestic wastewaters are usually of a predictable quality and quantity. Preliminary, primary, secondary, and final treatment methods for wastewater generated from domestic sources are well documented and designed. For the most important biological processes like trickling filters, an activated sludge process apart from the normal treatment designs is discussed in this chapter. In addition a few designed for aerated lagoons and USABs sludge treatment methods are elaborated.

TL;DR: Evaluating the influence of the excess sludge produced in a trickling filter (TF) on the performance of a UASB reactor used for the combined treatment of domestic sewage and aerobic sludge indicated a higher percentage of compliance with the discharge standards set forth by the Brazilian environmental legislation.
