This study evaluated the influence of nitrogen loading rates on fate of nitrogen treating anaerobic effluent from latex processing industry using a novel acryl-fibre biomass carrier-bio-fringe (BF) in a swim-bed reactor. At NLR of 0.5 kg N/m³.day, 60% to 70% TKN was converted and the nitrogen...

COD removal and nitrification by swim-bed technology using a novel carrying acryl-fibre biomass carrier (biofringe) was conducted to investigate its effectiveness for latex wastewater treatment. The influent taken from a rubber factory contained 2,000 to 3,500 mg/l COD, 150 to 300 mg/l ammonia-N...

In Asia, small and medium scale industries (SMI) account for over 85% of the total number of manufacturing establishments, and contribute considerably to economic growth. They generally employ old and inefficient technologies, consuming high energy and generate pollution. They also lack...
