BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT
TECHNIQUES
• Suspended growth process
Eg: activated sludge, aerated lagoons
• Attached growth process
Eg: trickling filters, intermittent sand filters, packed bed
reactors, anaerobic lagoons
• Combined growth process
Eg: facultative lagoons
TRICKLING FILTER
• Trickling filters are
conventional aerobic
biological waste water
systems
• Waste water trickles
over the medium
• Bacteria grow on the
medium thus creating
biofilm
CONSTRUCTION
It mainly consists of four parts
• Holding tank
• Distribution system
• Filter media
• Under drainage system
AREA AND COST REQUIRED
Factors to consider for total area:
Total surface area is dependent on the filter
media- diameter and pore space available
• Filter bed is typically 6 – 65m in diameter
• Filters filled with stone media are 1 – 3m deep
• Specific surface area should be atleast 30m³
and can go upto 900m³
Capital cost:
• Land area
• Construction and raw material
• Type of filter materials
• Feeder pumps
Operational cost:
• Electricity consumption for feeder pumps
• Labour cost

BIOFILM FORMATION
BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITY
• Animals – snails, worms, insect larvae.
