Granular activated sludge has gained increasing interest due to its potential in treating
wastewater in a compact and efficient way. It is well-established that activated sludge can …

ANAMMOX (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) represents an energy-efficient process for
biological nitrogen removal, particularly from wastewater streams with low chemical oxygen …

Microbial biofilms are ubiquitous in aquatic environments where they provide important
ecosystem functions. A key property believed to influence the community structure and …

Nitrogen has traditionally been removed from wastewater by nitrification and denitrification
processes, in which organic carbon has been used as an electron donor during …

For municipal wastewater treatment via partial-denitrification/anammox (PD/A) in the anoxic
zone, the primary challenge is effective enrichment of anaerobic ammonium oxidation …

The membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) is a novel wastewater treatment technology
based on oxygen-supplying membranes. The counter diffusion of oxygen and electron …

This research explored the effects of eukaryotic predation on nitrifying membrane-aerated
biofilm reactor (MABR) biofilms. Past research on heterotrophic MABR biofilms showed that …

It is often only at the operation stage of a wastewater treatment plant that there is a need to
adjust the treatment process in terms of variable hydraulic capacity, increased pollutant load …

Biofilms are the most favorable form of microorganism growth in nature. With the urgent
demand for energy-efficient wastewater treatment today, biofilms have become a crucial tool …

Acanthamoeba spp. have always caused disease in immunosuppressed patients, but since
1986, they have become a worldwide public health issue by causing infection in healthy …
