Abstract: A methanogenic fluidized‐bed biofilm reactor was successfully operated for the removal of 1‐μm organic colloids. The removal efficiency of total suspended solids was 72–76%, and the total chemical oxygen demand removal was ...

Abstract: Particle transport and capture are essential for the successful treatment by fluidized‐bed biofilm processes of wastewaters containing suspended organic matter. Small‐scale, once‐through, fluidized‐bed filters were utilized ...
