Abstract

Biological treatment systems contain living organisms and require carbon, nutrients and water as a vital part of the process. Such systems are affected by temperature, light, movement and chemical conditions of pH, oxygen, salinity and metals and the interrelations of the organisms present. Biotechnology research for the future is striving to develop new strains of microorganisms and processes for destruction of organic toxics and hazardous materials heretofore immune to treatment and to shorten process and retention times. This article discusses the subject in terms of treatment processes and techniques, treatment equipment, and related topics.
