The MBBR was enriched for 4 weeks, followed by introduction of raw AMD and sampling at intervals for 7 weeks. Maximum removal efficiency of COD was 99 % followed by 75 % sulphate reduction. The results showed that the bio-carrier is more suited for the COD reduction. | Description: | Conference Paper | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/11189/8149 | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.17758/EARES4.EAP1118236 |
