Treatment of Medical Wastewater by Moving Bed Bioreactor System
The hospital wastewater is considered as a complex mixture, populated with microbial and a variety of toxic substances. The performance of EEC USA moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) with polyethylene media as biofilm support carrier, packaged wastewater treatment plant with a capacity of 250 m3/day w...
