Denitrification Of A Synthetic Waste With A Submerged Filter, Dominic Joseph Grana
Masters Theses
"The facultative anaerobic submerged filter is a plug flow, packed bed, column type reactor in which the facultative microorganisms responsible for nitrate reduction are attached to the filter media. The objective of this study was to evaluate filter performance and the kinetic equations of the process under variable conditions of flow rate, nitrate nitrogen concentration, and organic loading.
Two 0.5 cu ft (14.25 1) laboratory filters were operated for 144 days at 35°C using a synthetic waste as the substrate. Filter media consisted of smooth quartzite stone, 1 to 1.5 in. (2.54-3.82 cm) in diameter. Each filter had a porosity …
