To achieve consistent, high-performance treatment from a trickling filter, it is not enough to focus on the trickling filter alone. ...
Trickling filters are valued for their reliability and simplicity, but like any biological treatment process, they must still be maintained to address changing operating conditions. ...
Industrial effluent treatment has a role in managing industries’ environmental impact. A considerable amount of wastewater, called effluents, is produced from factories and industrial plants and may contain a large number of pollutants that are harmful to any ecosystem and humans. This imposes the need to treat such effluent not only to minimize environmental damage but also to comply with ...
The term trickling filter can be misleading, however, as no physical filtration occurs in a trickling filter system. ...
Following pre-treatment (grit removal, primary clarifier and trickling filter), the effluent flows into a five-pond lagoon system. Pond 1 is split into 3 cells, each with a volume of 1.46 MG, surface area of 0.69 acres, and a mean depth of 6-7 ft. ...

The bacterial community composition of a down-flow sponge-based trickling filter treating upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) effluent was investigated by pyrosequencing. ...
The experiments were carried out in a full-scale system in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with two parallel horizontal subsurface-flow constructed wetland units (one planted with Typha latifolia and one unplanted) treating the effluent from a system composed of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor and a trickling filter (TF). ...
Changes in ammonia-oxidizing bacterial (AOB) population dynamics were examined in a new sponge-based trickling filter (TF) post-upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor by denaturating gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), and these changes were linked to relevant components influencing nitrification (chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen (N)). The sponge-based packing media caused strong ...
The objective of the work is to evaluate the performance of an innovative design of a trickling filter for small population sizes, which has been implemented for the post-treatment of sanitary effluent from a UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) reactor. The unit, named open trickling filter (OTF), operates ...
The paper compares the performance of two trickling filters (TFs) filled with plastic- or sponge-based packing media treating the effluent from an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. ...
