| Summary: | Adequate treatment of wastewater is important for the protection of the environment. In many
countries, the existing conventional biological wastewater treatment systems are unable to meet the required
standards. Therefore, present research focused on the improvement of aerobic wastewater treatment plant
by adding readily available cheap media. Plastic filamentous media was used due to the non-biodegradable
property. The media length was 5 meter but it was rolled into spiral shape. The average removal of TDS and
COD, without the media, was about 35% and 70%. After the media has been added, the removal efficiency
improved to 55% and 95%, respectively. The experimental results demonstrated that the use of filamentous
media is capable of improving the quality of effluents in wastewater treatment towards a better quality of
effluent to be discharged to nature. |
