Abstract


Two identical sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) namely R1.4N and R1.4Y were operated at superficial air velocity (SAV) of 1.4 cms-1 to investigate the influence of static mixer on aerobic granulation. Reactor R.14Y was added with a static mixer. The formation of aerobic granules with good settling properties were observed in R1.4Y showing SVI and SV of 29.5 mLg-1 and 80.4 mh-1, respectively, with high accumulation of biomass concentration in the reactor (7.18 gL-1). The SBR system also demonstrated good removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color of 94.2% and 63.1%, respectively. Therefore, it appears that static mixer could enhance the biogranulation process treating textile wastewater.
