Aerobic granular sludge can be classified as a type of self-immobilized microbial
consortium, consisting mainly of aerobic and facultative bacteria and is distinct from …

Wastewater treatment has been a challenge throughout the years due to varying influent
characteristics and stringent effluent regulations. In response to this dilemma, a reliable, cost …

One of the main challenging issues for the aerobic granular sludge technology is the long
startup time when dealing with real wastewaters. This study presents a novel strategy to …

To investigate the inducements of increase of cell hydrophobicity from aerobic biofloc (ABF)
and granular sludge (AGS), in this study, as the first time the hydrophilic and hydrophobic …

Aerobic granules are dense microbial aggregates with the potential to replace floccular
sludge for the treatment of wastewaters. In bubble-column sequencing batch reactors …

Mycelial pellet of Aspergillus niger Y3 was used as a biomass carrier to immobilize the
aniline-degrading bacterium, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus JH-9 and the mix culture of the …

A novel operational strategy with a combination of short settling time and high
food/microorganism (F/M) ratio was developed to start up a pilot-scale granular sequencing …

The high COD and turbidity level of palm oil mill (POM) wastewater has been the driving
force to find an efficient treatment system. In this work, biological and adsorption methods …

The process of nitrification–denitrification via nitrite for nitrogen removal under real-time
control mode was tested in two laboratory-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) with …

Aerobic granular sludge was produced in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) characterized
by a height to diameter ratio of 2.5 and the use of mechanical stirring. Compact and regular …
