TL;DR: Investigations indicated that variation of bulk parameters successfully stratified the reactor into zones that predominantly either nitrified or denitrified, and simultaneous nitrification and denitrification occurred throughout the airlift bioreactor.

TL;DR: It was found that denitrification was the limiting step in removal of nitrogen in the BMBR in this study, which demonstrated the possibility of further improvements in its performance.

TL;DR: Different nutritional and process parameters influencing lactic acid production by Lactobacillus casei, adsorbed to Poraver beads in a recycle batch reactor system, were studied in an attempt to set up a system having a long operational lifetime and permitting use of high substrate concentrations for maximal conversion to the product.

TL;DR: A solid-liquid-gas, multiphase, fluidized bed bioreactor with low density particles was used in this study to treat the high organic content starch industry wastewater and it was observed that increase in initial substrate concentration leads to decrease in COD Reduction and COD reduction increases with increase in hydraulic retention time.

TL;DR: An inclined plate coupled membrane bioreactor for treating feed water having excessive level of nutrients in particular chemical oxygen demand and total nitrogen and suspended solids has been proposed in this paper.
Abstract: An inclined plate coupled membrane bioreactor for treating feed water having excessive level of nutrients in particular chemical oxygen demand and total nitrogen and suspended solids has an aerobic bioreactor for nitrification and aerobic biodegradation in which membranes are submerged for permeate extraction, and an anoxic bioreactor for denitrification within which the inclined plates are outfitted to confine as much anoxic sludge as possible An air oxygenating and an air scouring are continuously provided to the aerobic bioreactor to maintain a desired aerobic environment and to mitigate membrane fouling while an intermittent air blowing is provided to the anoxic bioreactor to blow out gaseous content generated through denitrification and to rectify the uniformed flow along the inclined plates The aerobic sludge is recycled to the lower compartment of anoxic bioreactor and the supernatant of anoxic bioreactor is collected as weir effluent and delivered to the downstream aerobic bioreactor Permeate is intermittently extracted from the membranes by a suction pump There is no excess sludge withdrawn from the inclined plate coupled membrane bioreactor throughout the experiment
