Nutrient removal

This chapter describes the possibility to combine wastewater treatment in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) with the production of crop plants biomass. In an aquaponic RAS established in Waedenswil, Zurich, the potential of three crop plants was assessed to recycle nutrients from fish wastewat

Biological nutrient removal and the fate of two estrogenic compounds, bisphenol A (BPA) and 2,4-dicholorophenol (2,4-DCP) were studied using a sequencing anoxic/anaerobic-aerobic membrane bioreactor (SAM) which was fed with synthetic water and operated at SRT of 60 days. Total nitrogen (TN), total p

A novel osmotic membrane bioreactor (OsMBR) is presented. The system utilizes a submerged forward osmosis (FO) membrane module inside a bioreactor. Through osmosis, water is transported from the mixed liquor across a semi-permeable membrane, and into a draw solution (DS) with a higher osmotic pressu
