Nitrogen in the Ammonia form can have deleterious effects in water resources. Ion Exchange by zeolite and biological Nitrification processes are two proposed methods for removing Nitrogen compounds from wastewater and effluents. The main objective of this research was to investigate the efficiency...

Biological treatment has been carried out in two different systems: aerated closed and threephase fluidized bed reactors for hydrocarbons removal from refinery wastewaters. For the two systems, hydrodynamic study allowed the determination of operating conditions before treatment experiments. Then...
