For the augmented attached growth system empty bed hydraulic retention times (EBHRT) of 1.9 hours to 11.6 hours were run. Results showed that at 11.6 hour EBHRT 80% removal of 10.8 mg/L feed benzene, 96.8% removal of 8.1 mg/L feed toluene and 12.7% removal of 6.1 mg/L feed xylene were achieved. In the treatment of high strength sewage, significant removal of COD, BOD and oil and grease was observed over a 4 month trial run period. | Source Title: | Water Science and Technology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/74426 | ISSN: | 02731223 | DOI: | 10.1016/0273-1223(96)00256-9 |
