The wastewater generated from pharmaceutical industry generally contain high organic load and the treatment is primarily carried out using two major types of biological methods; aerobic and anaerobic. However, due to high strength, it is infeasible to treat some pharmaceutical wastewater using aerobic biological processes. As an alternative, an anaerobic process is preferred to remove high stre...

With the beginning of Anthropocene epoch, nature is facing a lot environmental problems that drastically increased in last century. On current rate resource consumption, soon will lose ability for self-restoration. In order to avoid inevitable consequences resources exploitation, new approaches should be developed all areas human life. Linear economy concepts were utilized long time and based o...

Abstract Nitrogen-cycling microorganisms play key roles at the intersection of microbiology and wastewater engineering. In addition to well-studied ammonia oxidizing bacteria, nitrite heterotrophic denitrifiers, anammox there are some other N-cycling that less abundant but functionally important in nitrogen removal. These microbes include, not limited archaea (AOA), complete oxidation (comammox...

Wastewater treatment plants affect the environment in many different ways. It can be assumed that the intensity and range of microbiological emission is the crucial factor in determining the range of restrictedusage zone. This paper presents emission levels of microbiological pollutants from the wastewater treatment plant in Bartoszyce, Poland. It is a new plant with multifunctional activated-s...
