the application of neural networks to model a laboratory scale inverse fluidized bed reactor has been studied. a radial basis function neural network has been successfully employed for the modeling of the inverse fluidized bed reactor. in the proposed model, the trained neural network represents the kinetics of biological decomposition of organic matters in the reactor. the neural network has b...

A novel wastewater treatment system has been developed, utilizing an oxygen-rich algal liquid to supply oxygen to an aerobic biofilm reactor. Aerobic treatment of wastewater takes place in a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor, where the aerobic biomass which breaks down organic and nitrogenous pollutants grows as a biofilm on floating carriers. Algae grown in an open raceway pond produce oxygen through...

A laboratory-scale pilot plant of moving bed biofilm reactor coupled with membrane bioreactor (MBBR-MBR) was studied regard to wastewater treatment in the textile industry, and reuse feasibility treated water investigated. The comprised two connected parts: an aerobic tank filled carriers a submerged tank. MBBR-MBR system reduced hydraulic retention time 1 day, which is very promising compared ...
