Abstract:

The Operational Performance of the Sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) for treating the Sewage. The Removal efficiency of COD, BOD, TSS and Ammonical Nitrogen were investigated by using Biomedia made of PVC. The experiments were carried out at size 18×15×30 cm with working volume 5–L reactor made from Acrylic sheet. The reactor was operated as SBBR. SBBR was filled with Biomedia to 30 % of the working volume. SBBR were operated at 6h cycling period on a day that consisted of wastewater fill (3 min), reaction (5h), settling (50 min) and draw (3 min). During filling sewage aeration was off. The effect of filling ratio on SBBR performance was determined. In normal operation, average COD removal rate was calculated as 90.14 % SBBR.
