Role of identified bacterial consortium in treatment of Quhafa Wastewater Treatment Plant influent in Fayuom, Egypt.

This study was aimed to biologically treat domestic wastewater using identified bacterial consortium for chemical pollutants removal by treating/passing it through sand biofilters. The identification, toxicity test, and the optimum dose of the investigated bacterial consortium were carried out using Microtox analyzer and Batch biological treatment, respectively. Furthermore, application of sedimentation followed by gravel and sand biofilters for wastewater treatment was evaluated.

Design of a bioaugmented multistage biofilter for accelerated municipal wastewater treatment and deactivation of pathogenic microorganisms.

Biological treatment of municipal wastewater for reuse in irrigation is highly required, especially with the current global financial and water shortage crises. Bioaugmentation is a simple and cost-effective technology which could be a useful tool in alleviating this challenge. Thus, this study aimed to enhance the biological treatment of municipal wastewater using a bioaugmented substance supplemented in a three-stages bio-filter consisting of a sedimentation step followed by gravel biofiltration and then sand biofiltration at a laboratory scale.
