Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.
Rotating biological contactors (RBC), also called rotating biological filters, are fixed bed reactors consisting of stacks of rotating disks mounted on a horizontal shaft that are partially submerged in a reactor and rotated as wastewater flows through. They are used in conventional wastewater treatment plants as secondary treatment after primary sedimentation of domestic grey- or blackwater or any other biodegradable effluent. The microbial community is alternately exposed to the atmosphere and the wastewater allowing both, aeration and assimilation of dissolved organic pollutants and nutrients for their degradation.
