• Industrial applications of Biological Aerated Filters 

  Rundle, Howard; Chen, Jeffrey J.; McCarty, Don (School of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1999-03-03)

  Biological aerated filters (BAF's) are compact wastewater treatment reactors capable of achieving biological oxidation and solids removal in a single reactor. The basic principle of operation is that biomass grows on the ...
• A new generation of Aerated Filter 

  Martin, J. (School of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1999-03-03)

  The use of the activated sludge process is a very well known technology. It is and has been used very widely in full scale plants from its first development at the Davyhulme works in Manchester. However this process ...
• Operating performance and future development of the BioBead (TM) system 

  Cantwell, A. D. C. (School of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1996-06-12)

  This paper reports on the performance of the BiobeadTM version of the Biological Aerated Flooded Filter Process over the last few years. More than twenty of these units have been installed in the U.K. and the operating ...
• Recent experience and developments using the Biopur BAF process 

  Clarke, S. (School of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1996-06-12)

  Biological processes have been used to treat waste waters for many years in order to improve public health, remove offensive odours and to reduce pollution in the receiving watercourse. In the 1980's public concern led ...
• Aeration optimisation of Biolgical Aerated Filters 

  Pearce, Peter A. (of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1996-06-12)

  Aeration costs account for a large proportion of the total running costs of biological aerated filters (BAFs) which are in themselves an energy intensive form of treatment process. Optimisation of oxygenation efficiency ...
• Operational trials of different propriety lamella and BAF systems 

  Budge, F.; Gorrie, D. (School of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1996-06-12)

  Halcrow Scotland were appointed by Grampian Regional Council (now North of Scotland Water Authority) in April 1993 to carry out the Aberdeen Wastewater Treatment Feasibility Study. The study started with a verification ...
• Development of a recitculating plastic media Biological Aerated Filter (REBAF) 

  Stephenson, Tom (School of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1996-06-12)

  True biological aerated filters (BAFs) combine two unit operations in one reactor: aerobic biological treatment and subsequent biomass separation from the effluent (Stephenson et al., 1993). The submerged media used as ...
• Poole waste water treatment BAF plant 

  Brewer, Peter (of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1996-06-12)

  1. The town of Poole in south east Dorset has undergone substantial development during the 1980's. Wessex Water recognised the pressure on the water services in this region and commissioned a strategy study for this ...
• Experiences with BIOFOR reactors at Veas, Norway 

  Sagberg, Paul; Grundness Berg, Kirsti (of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1996-06-12)

  Both the local situation in the inner Oslofiord and the political decisions of the countries surrounding the North Sea called for further treatment. Through 1989 and 1990, VEAS put bits and pieces of known technology ...
• Experiences with Biological Aerated Filters for treatment of settles sewage and dairy effluent 

  Rundle, Howard (School of Water Sciences, Cranfield University, 1996-06-12)
