Abstract
Based on a pseudo-first-order model of organics removal in biological filters the data for various agricultural wastes are interpreted. It is evidenced that the model is applicable to both anaerobic and aerobic biofilters. Various advantages of biofiltration are presented in applications to the agricultural industry. Anaerobic and aerobic biofilters have been successfully applied to treatment of dilute piggery wastes. It is postulated that a series of anaerobic and aerobic biofilters could offer a short-detention-time system for strong agricultural effluents, capable of attaining high effluent quality from operations where traditionally suspended-growth systems are used.
