✦ Synopsis

The performance and biomass retention of a 4.2 L new hybrid reactor (upflow blanket filter, UBF) at 27°C were determined at loading rates of 5 to 51 g Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)/L.d with sugar wastes of 2500 mg COD/L strength.

Maximum removal rates of 34 g COD/L.d and COD removal efficiency of over 93% were reached.

The packing was very efficient in retaining biomass.
