Abstract
A bench-scale fluidised bed bioreactor was used to treat aquaculture e ffluent intended for recycling. The reactor was loaded with ammonia-ni trogen (NH4-N) from 0.025 to 5.675 g m(-2) day(-1) . Maximum NH4-N rem oval was 82% of influent concentration when loading was between 0.201 and 0.397 g m(-2) day(-1); at this level, effluent NH4-N did not excee d 0.05 mg l(-1).
