About this document
Overview of Rotating Biological Contactors by prem_k_s is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC) contain rotating discs or corrugated packing units that are partially submerged in liquid waste. Biofilm grows on the surfaces of the discs or packing. As the surfaces rotate out of the liquid, the biofilm is exposed to air where oxygen can diffuse in and carbon dioxide can escape. The rotation also aerates the liquid. The biofilm thickness is limited to 1-2 mm before portions detach and are collected. RBCs can be compartmentalized to approach plug flow for efficient con
