Response of simultaneous nitrification-denitrification to DO increments in continuously aerated biofilm reactors for aquaculture wastewater treatment

Intensive aquaculture usually produces large volumes of nutrient-rich wastewater, which is essential to treat to avoid eutrophication. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of five continuously aerated biofilm reactors treating simulated high-strength aquaculture wastewater under different di...
