The stability of biofilms attached to support particles plays a crucial role in fluidized bed
bioreactors (FBBRs) when treating non-Newtonian sewage. Biofilm instability is governed by …

One of the most promising technologies employed for biological wastewater treatment and
biogas production in recent years is the fluidized bed bioreactor, in which microorganisms …

A methanogenic fluidized-bed biofilm reactor was successfully operated for the removal of 1-
μm organic colloids. The removal efficiency of total suspended solids was 72–76%, and the …

The objective of this work is to investigate the effects of surface area loading rates (SALRs)
and hydraulic retention times (HRTs) in moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) systems on the …

There are several configurations of fluidized beds commonly used in wastewater treatment
units. Often their hydrodynamics is challenging to be evaluated experimentally, or too …

Fluidized bed bioreactors have been increasingly applied to wastewater treatment, since
they offer advantages when compared to other reactors, such as high mass transfer and low …

Moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) are commonly used to remove organic pollutants and
ammonia from wastewater for water reuse as secondary treatment. In MBBRs, small, free …

Performance of fluidized‐bed biofilm reactors (FBBRs) greatly depends on the amount of
biomass attached to the inert core support particles and overall bed voidage. Thus, for …

Biofilm systems such as the moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) are finding increased
application in wastewater treatment. One important process that governs MBBRs and yet is …

This paper examines the influence of bed segregation on the performance of an anaerobic
fluidized bed bioreactor (AFBR) using both an integrated mathematical model previously …
