Abstract—Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is mon additive that any form of biotreatment by itself can produce a treated
for producing a clean burning fuel with a higher Octane number effluent meeting the discharge limit of 20 μg/L or lower[7].

breakthrough and biological activated carbon (BAC) treatment Bacteria present in the adsorber feed are readily retained
experiments were conducted pare the adsorptive by the carbon particles and begin to grow and e more
capacities of four activated carbons for MTBE, to obtain the acclimated to the pollutant during the long treatment period.
adsorptive capacity indicators useful for predicting the carbon’s When the adsorber is pre-inoculated with effective bacteria, it
MTBE capacity and its utilization in actual treatment, and to will function as a biological activa
