Abstract: A biofilm model incorporating diffusive mass transport and Monod kinetics to represent substrate uptake by biofilm during its growth phase, is developed, calibrated, verified, and used for estimation of minimum hydraulic‐retention ...

Abstract: Response of biofilms to toxic compounds has been modeled using Monod-type inhibition kinetics. Biofilm inhibition due to substrate, secondary substrate, and product is considered. For biofilm inhibition due to substrate ...

Abstract: Feasibility of the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process was investigated for the treatment of tapioca starch industry wastewater. After removal of suspended solids by simple gravity settling, starch wastewater ...
