Abstract |
|
Due to increasingly urbanized and industrialized society with a rapidly expanding population, the need for cost effective and environmentally sound technologies for wastewater treatment is required. Filtration technology is the simplest and low cost treatment technology based on the principle of attached growth process. Multimedia Filters represent a significant improvement over single media filters. A laboratory scale multimedia filter model was developed for treatment of domestic wastewater. Different packing media such as cellulose pads, brick bats and aerocon stones of varying sizes were used. The model was operated for varying detention time. The results obtained from this experimental study showed removal efficiency for BOD as 67%, COD as 69% and TS as 86% for 24 hours of detention time. |
