Description
Summary:The purpose of the study was to investigate the use of the Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) to treat high strength wastewater in a tropical climate. Total organic carbon, BOD and COD were used as analytical parameters to determine the efficiency of treatment of the wastewater using high influent concentrations (400 - 6500 mg COD/L) and high loading rates with a laboratory scale rotating disc system operating under ambient temperatures in Singapore.
