Influence of organic loading on an anaerobic sequencing biofilm batch reactor (ASBBR) as a function of cycle period and wastewater concentration
Article Abstract:
The effect of organic loading on the performance of a mechanically stirred anaerobic sequencing biofilm batch reactor (ASBBR) utilizing polyurethane foam cubes for biomass immobilization is investigated by varying wastewater concentration and cycle period. The organic loading was calculated by considering the volume of wastewater in contact with the microorganisms and also the retention time that quantifies the reaction time in the anaerobic reactor.

Performance and stability of an anaerobic fixed bed reactor subjected to progressive increasing concentrations of influent organic matter and organic shock loads
Article Abstract:
Experiments are conducted on a fixed bed anaerobic reactor subjected to progressively increasing organic loading rates (OLR) and organic shock loads (OSL) to study its performance and stability and the results are observed and discussed. It is concluded that no performance instability results from increase in OLR and the system regains its operational performance after slight instability on application of OSL.
