Spatial heterogeneity is recognized as a very influent factor in biological diversity, but there is still a need to evaluate how this heterogeneity changes with scale and how pattern or processes change with the definition of the detail level, so this is the aim of this study.
The effectiveness of drywells for aquifer recharge depends on the hydrogeologic setting and land use surrounding a site, as well as influent stormwater quantity and quality.
Gravel biofilm as well as influent and effluent water samples of these systems were taken in order to detect the presence of bacterial indicators such as total coliforms (TC), Escherichia coli, fecal enterococci (FE), Clostridium perfringens, and other microbial groups such as Pseudomonas and Aeromonas.
Partial nitrified effluent of the filtrate from the sludge dehydrator of a brewery company was used as influent to a 20 L anammox reactor using MC.
Moreover based on the experiment conditions and equipment, the COD values at different BAF height was expressed as a function of influent COD concentration, lnCCi="−1.40QCi0.26H.
The COD concentration at different reactor height was expressed as a function of influent COD concentration and hydraulic loading rate, ln(C0/C) = 0.124H/Q0.770 and ln(C/0) = −5.63H/L0.94}, respectively, under the experimental condition.
Biesheuvel et al. [107] presented a pilot-plant experimental data for salt removal in MCDI as a function of influent salt concentration and flow rate and found that the salt concentration ratio between the diluted product and the concentrated salt was as high as 25.
The reactor used the effluent from a methanogenic pilot reactor, which contained ammonium, sulphide and other compounds, and nitrate from a nitrifying plant as the influent.
Leachate from an organic fertilizer factory was used as the influent that consisted of many different cations.
The continuous cultures were also conducted at a hydraulic retention time of 96 h using synthetic dark fermentation soluble metabolites (with a 5 and 10 fold dilution) as the influent.
