The laboratory model of Rotating Biological Contractors (RBC) which was used in the present study, is a modified one, in respect of, increased reactor depth, varying depth of submergence of rotating discs and supplemental air supply. Synthetic sago wastewater was used to study the performance of the modified RBC. The experiment was conducted for different combinations of average influent substrate concentrations, hydraulic loading rates and speed of the rotating discs.
