The study tested the performance of a batch-type recirculating laboratory scale bio-tower for the treatment of municipal wastewater. Performance tests were done with a HACH DR-1900 spectrophotometer include chemical oxygen demand, total phosphorus and nitrogen ammonia. This study showed that the recirculated laboratory type bio-tower containing 0.276 ft3 (0.008 m3) of polypropylene growth media with a surface area of 6.624 ft2 (0.615 m2) can reduce the chemical oxygen demand between 70% to 87%. NH3-N reduction was found to be between 94% to 96%, and total phosphorus reduction was between 69% and 87% for flow rates of 0.6 l/min to 1.5 l/min.
