Trickling filters are a well-established method for treating wastewater, offering a reliable way to reduce the amount of organic material before it is returned to the environment or reused. These systems involve a biological process where microorganisms attached to a medium break down pollutants in the water. Their simple yet effective design makes them suitable […]

Rotating Biological Contactors (RBCs) are an efficient means of treating wastewater through a biological process that involves microorganisms affixed to a rotating media. These systems are engineered to remove organic and nitrogenous waste from water by allowing microorganisms to come into contact with waste in the water. An RBC system consists of a series of […]

Biological treatment in wastewater management is a process that mimics the natural purification mechanisms found in the environment. It involves using microorganisms, such as bacteria and protozoa, to break down organic matter in sewage or industrial effluents. This method is favored for its efficiency in reducing the load of pollutants and its role in the […]
