Aerobic Wastewater Treatment By S.M. Kumar
Technologies: A Mini
Review..........42
For concentrated industrial wastewater aerobic treatment is
a substitute to the slower anaerobic treatment processes. The
review concludes that suspended growth bioreactors are very
efficient at low organic loading rates for treating wastewaters.
Most of the biofilm reactors have a same level of COD removal.
