- Abstract
The article cites a study conducted to assess the performance of an integrated bio-treatment process for reducing the mutagenicity associated with reservoir water containing oily contaminants. The reservoir, located in Northern China, has been used as one of the major water sources for the surrounding communities. It was reported that the reservoir water has been heavily polluted with oily organic matters, which were suspected to come from an upstream petrochemical industry as well as from fishing activity taking place within the reservoir. The innovative treatment system used in this study is consisting of a bio-ceramic pre-treatment unit along with a conventional water treatment system. The performance characteristics of the innovative treatment system were meticulously evaluated in this study.
