Abstract
⺠Treating hair colourant wastes in the PCP industry is very energy intensive. ⺠New biofilter designs were tested for treating high strength colourant wastes. ⺠Packed- and sponge-media designs removed by COD and TN > 90% and 60%, respectively. ⺠Aerated sponge biofilters tolerated high oxidant levels better than other designs. ⺠Sponge reactors can reduce energy costs by >40% over current practices.
