The Relationship Between the Biokinetic Parameters of an Aerobic Granular Sludge System and the Applied Operating Conditions

Biokinetic parameters help to describe the rate of substrate utilization and biomass production or growth by microbial action, which is important design process performance optimization wastewater treatment. Although studies biokinetic aerobic granular sludge (AGS) systems have been increasing lately, significance for each value in terms maximum specific (μ<sub>max</sub>), concentration at one-half (K<sub>S</sub>), cell yield (Y) relation applied operating conditions are rarely discussed. Therefore, this study investigates relationship between above-stated with organic loading (OLR) reactor height/diameter (H/D) ratio from five different batches AGS treated sewage, using independent t-test. The summarized as (<i>Y</i> <i>μmax</i>) relied upon relative increase OLR H/D ratios. Additionally, granules developed reactors a high shorter setup time more active contrast low reactors.
