A METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT AND RECIRCULATION OF AQUACULTURE WASTEWATER

摘要

The present invention is a method for the treatment of aquaculture wastewater from indoor facilities such as hatcheries. It comprises of an anaerobic baffled reactor packed with retted brown coconut coir fibres and an aerobic cascading step to aerate the effluent coming out of the anaerobic baffled reactor. The process significantly reduces the nutrient load in the wastewater making it suitable for safe release into natural water bodies or for recirculation.
