Description
Summary:	Because of the high cost and energy demands of activated carbon, the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was selected for a full-scale demonstration of the biological removal of organic carbon at the CECOS International Niagara Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant. Bench-scale studies began in August 1983, and continued for 1 year. Based on these results, a full-scale SBR system was designed and constructed. Operation began in June 1984. Results from the first month of full-scale operation are presented; bench-scale results from SBR operation at room temperature and simulated winter temperature conditions, at increasing loadings of phenol, and under an energy conservation strategy are emphasized.
