Mr. Khuu Thien Minh explains the role and application of biotechnology in the environment
The speaker explained that environmental biology involves the application of biotechnology in the environmental industry to treat wastewater, air, and solid waste pollution. Additionally, the speaker analyzed how microbial technology works in wastewater treatment, highlighting the benefits and efficiency of microorganisms in biological treatment processes. He also discussed several biological wastewater treatment technologies currently in use, such as conventional aerobic activated sludge technology (Aerotank), sequenced batch reactor (SBR) technology, moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) technology, and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) technology.
As part of the seminar, speaker Thien Minh introduced students to new, environmentally friendly treatment methods for wastewater, using multi-purpose biological preparations such as Microbe-Lift Ind, Microbe-Lift N1, and Microbe-Lift DGTT.
