Abstract
According to characteristics of microbial growth, anaerobic treatment proce sses can be classified in two major groups: fixed-film and suspended growth . In this study, operational conditions for both fixed-film (Downflow Stati onary Fixed Film, DSFF and Upflow Anaerobic Filter, UAF) and suspended grow th (Thermophilic Anaerobic Contact Reactor, TACR) model anaerobic reactors are presented and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies of thes e systems are compared.
