A lab-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) was used to remove Ametryn from synthetic wastewater. It was found that concentrations of MLSS and extra-cellular polymeric substances (EPS) in MBR mixed liquor fluctuated (production and decay) differently for about 40 days (transition period)

The purpose of this work was to develop a modified release system for the herbicide ametryn by encapsulating the active substance in biodegradable polymer microparticles produced using the polymers poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) or poly(hydroxybutyrate-valerate) (PHBV), in order to both improve the
Ametryn, which is a second generation herbicide, was introduced to a lab-scale MBR at a concentration of 1mg/L and a 20-40% removal was observed at HRT ranging from 7.8 to 15.6h for an average influent Ametryn concentration of 0.8 mg/L.
