ADVANCED BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES FOR WASTEWATER TR...

This book presents recent developments in advanced biological treatment technologies that are
attracting increasing attention or that have a high potential for large-scale application in
the near future. It also explores the fundamental principles as well as the applicability of
the engineered bioreactors in detail. It describes two of the emerging technologies: membrane
bioreactors (MBR) and moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR)  both of which are finding increasing
application worldwide thanks to their compactness and high efficiency. It also includes a
chapter dedicated to aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology  and discusses the main features
and applications of this promising process  which can simultaneously remove organic matter 
nitrogen and phosphorus and is considered a breakthrough in biological wastewater treatment.
Given the importance of removing nitrogen compounds from wastewater  the latest advances in
this area  including new processes for nitrogen removal (e.g. Anammox)  are also reviewed.
Developments in molecular biology techniques over the last twenty years provide insights into
the complex microbial diversity found in biological treatment systems. The final chapter
discusses these techniques in detail and presents the state-of-the-art in this field and the
opportunities these techniques offer to improve process performance.
