Pilot-Scale Experiences on Anaerobic Fluidized-Bed Treatment of Brewery Wastes
TLDR
In this paper, the results of a pilot-plant study on the Anaerobic Fluidized-Bed Reactor (AFBR) treatment of brewery wastes were reported, showing that a COD removal efficiency of greater than 75% was achieved at an organic loading rate (OLR) of 8.9 kg COD/m3 of expended bed/day for 82 days from start-up.About:

Kinetic analysis of an anaerobic filter treating soybean wastewater
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the kinetics of the treatment of soybean wastewater in an anaerobic filter and compared the substrate loading removal rate with predictions from a modified Stover-Kincannon model, the Monod model and a regression relationship.

Acid Mine Drainage Treatment in Fluidized-Bed Bioreactors by Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria: A Critical Review
TL;DR: The fluidized-bed configuration is an efficient way for acid mine drainage remediation due to the high biomass retention, the great resistance to inhibitors, and the possibility to use high organic, sulfate, and metal loading rates at low hydraulic retention times as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A sulfidogenic fluidized-bed reactor (FBR) process was developed for treating acidic metal and sulfate-containing wastewater as discussed by the authors, which was based on sulfate reduction by sulfatereducing bacteria (SRB), precipitation of metals as sulfides with the biogenic H 2 S and neutralization of the water with biologically produced bicarbonate alkalinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
