An RBC system is a biological technology for wastewater treatment, where microorganisms in the water attach to partially submerged rotating discs, forming a biofilm. This paper presents the laboratory-scale evaluation of an RBC system, using wastewater from a non-alcoholic beverage industry. The goal was to reduce sludge generation through oxidation and degradation of compounds present in the water. COD and BOD5 removal percentages of over 80% were achieved in all stages.
