TL;DR: The inoculated aerobic granules could maintain stable under short setting time environment, making it directly as the crystal nucleus and the carriers for new particles without obvious disintegration, which eventually shortened the granulation time greatly.

TL;DR: High removal rates to pollutants were achieved by CAGR in the former 65 days, but the removal rates of pollutants dropped sharply from the 66 th day, and with the increase of OLR and particle size, anaerobic cores inside the granules were formed by massive dead cells, while instability of an aerobic core eventually led to the collapse of the system.

TL;DR: Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) was successfully cultivated in a double column cyclic aerobic granular reactor (DCCAGR) within 18 days by inoculating with 30% (w/w) mature aerobic granules and 70% activated sludge, while granulation process and reactor performance was investigated in the continuous flow reactor.

TL;DR: The result indicated that the feasibility of AGS for high C/N ratio industrial wastewater treatment, cultivated in a bench scale sequencing batch reactor within 21 days, was indicated.

TL;DR: Inoculated with mature aerobic granular sludge in a sequencing batch reactor, gradually increasing the proportion of municipal sludge deep dewatering filtrate in influent, aerobic granule sludge was domesticated after 84 days and maintained its structure during the operation.
