Role of Bio-filtration in Petrochemical Wastewater Treatment using CSTR

Continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR)operated at 35"C, were efficaciously used for the anaerobic digestion of a petrochemical effluent. Biofiltrationof petrochemical wastewater was carried out and the results were evaluated in terms of basic water quality parameters. The effects of organic lo...
