Acetylene blockage technique as a tool to determine denitrification potential of a biomass fixed on an organic media treating wastewater

Biofiltration on organic media is used in many wastewater applications. However, no tools are available to survey the microorganisms' activity inside the process. The acetylene blockage technique w...
