The influence of process conditions (substrate loading rate and detachment force) on the structure of biofilms grown on basalt particles in a Biofilm Airlift Suspension (BAS) reactor was studied. The structure of the biofilms (density, surface shape, and thickness) and microbial characteristics (bio

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 biofilm airlift suspension (BAS) reactor can treat wastewater at a high volumetric loading rate combined with a low sludge loading. Two BAS reactors were operated, with an ammonium load of 5 kg N/(m 3 d), in order to study the influence of biomass and oxygen concentration on the nitrification pr
