Abstract

There are several options for pollutant removal, but the preference must be based on construction costs, the source of the liquid waste, the added value of the resulting material, and the possible effects of the industry accepted on the ecosystem. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a key tool for evaluating wastewater reactor configuration and nearly all unit process optimization.
