A Biofilm Airlift Suspension (BAS) reactor was operated with nitrifying biofilm growth and heterotrophic suspended growth, simultaneously converting ammonium and acetate. Growth of heterotrophs in suspension decreases the diffusion limitation for the nitrifiers, and enlarges the nitrifying capacity
The effect of liquid flow velocity on biofilm development in a membrane-aerated biofilm reactor was investigated both by mathematical modeling and by experiment, using Vibrio natriegens as a test organism and acetate as carbon substrate. It was shown that velocity influenced mass transfer in the dif
