Abstract
The optimum conditions for the % CVOD and % TSS reduction in UPLB wastewater by pilot-scale hybrid crossflow and vertical flow trickling filter were determined using the Response Surface Methodology, Central Composite Design aided with Design Expert® software version 7.0. The highest reduction for both responses were observed at 4 LPM/LPM recirculation ratio and 400 ppm substrate concentration with 82.34% COD reduction and 95.65% TSS reduction. The model equations for both responses were experimentally verified and found to be mainly affected by the recirculation ratio.
