Nitrate removal in a closed marine system through the ion exchange membrane b…

Abstract. The accumulation of nitrate in closed marine systems presents a problem for both the marine life and the environment. The present study, proposes the application of the ion exchange membrane bioreactor (IEMB) concept for removing nitrate frommarine systems, suchas aquaculture tanks or marine aquariums. The results obtained demonstrate that the IEMB was able to remove naturally acc…
