Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Fluidized-bed denitrification of surface water with methanol as the carbon source is currently being studied in Belgium. Residual methanol and microbial excretion products increased the dissolved assimilable organic carbon in the reactor effluent. Hyphomicrobium sp. was isolated as a methylotrophic denitrifier of primary importance. The anoxic denitrifying environment apparently provides a favorable niche for a large diversity of associated bacterial strains. Hydraulic shear resulted in the constant washout of these indicator species from the reactor. Thus, the microbiological quality of the effluent is altered by the denitrifying process, and the treated water has to be further subjected to filtration and disinfection in order to guarantee the removal of residual organic carbon and prevent breakthrough of indicator organisms. |
