Biological Treatment Processes: Suspended Growth vs. Attached Growth

A. Ebrahimi; G. D. Najafpour

Volume 7, Issue 2 , April 2016, , Pages 114-123

https://doi.org/10.5829/idosi.ijee.2016.07.02.05

Abstract
  Microorganisms play an important role in biological treatment processes. Biodegradable organic matter in wastewater would be removed completely by proper microbial consortia. The mixed culture is either generally present in the wastewater, or is introduced to the target wastewater by mixing it with domestic ...  Read More
