Abstract
The hydrodynamic characteristic performance of an internal draft tube inverse fluidized bed biofilm reactor was studied for the aerobic biodegradation of phenol (1,200 mg/l) using Pseudomonas fluorescens for various ratios of settled bed volume to reactor working volume (Vb/Vr) under batchwise condition with respect to liquid phase. The operating parameters, such as superficial gas velocity, phase hold ups, aspect ratio and bed height, were analyzed for_x000D_
different ratios of (Vb/Vr). The effect of biodegradation on synthetic phenolic effluent was determined from the reduction in chemical oxygen demand and phenol removal efficiency. The optimum value of (Vb/Vr)m was 0.20 for the optimal superficial gas velocity, Ugm=0.220 m/s with the COD reduction efficiency of 98.5% in 48 hours. The biomass and biofilm characteristics of P. fluorescens were determined for optimal hydrodynamic operating parameters by evaluating its biofilm dry density and thickness, bioparticle density, suspended and attached biomass concentration.
