| Description |
An Anaerobic Packed Bed Bioreactor System was used for treatment of cotton digestion wastewater. The biofilm loss rate (Rs) due to internal properties of biofilm: decay (Kd) biofilm thickness (Lf) and biomass concentration (Xf) is determined for various flow rates applied to the anaerobic packed bed bioreactor. Relationships among Rs σ flow velocity were also developed. It is evident that as Lf increases, there is a tendency for increase in σ and Rs. The same tendency is true for increase in flow velocity applied to the reactor. Various expressions were developed among σ, Lf, Rs and Q for the anaerobic reactor. The biofilm thickness determined in the present investigation is in the range of 0.6 mm to 3.9 mm and the biofilm loss rates are in the range of 1.6 × 10–4 to 8.68 × 10–4 KgCOD/m2d fora flow rate of 3.1 to 50 liters/day.
