Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of added polyethylene bio-carrier (SOFTRON CUBE) on nitrification and organic oxidation in the aeration tank. It was found that high microbial growth inside the bio-carrier promoted higher removal rate of ammonia nitrogen and organic oxidation in the batch aeration reactor. Addition of bio-carrier helps improve the removal efficiency without expanding the aeration tank.
