Performance of Continuous Micro Photo Reactor – Comparison with Batch Process

Performance of Biological hydrogen Production Process from Synthesis Gas, Mass Transfer in Batch and Continuous Bioreactors

Biological hydrogen production by anaerobic bacterium, Rhodospirillum rubrum was studied in batch and continuous bioreactors using synthesis gas (CO) as substrate. The systems were operated at ambient temperature and pressure. Correlations available in the literature were used to estimate the gas-liquid mass transfer coefficients (KLa) in batch reactor. Based on experimental results for the con...

Evaluation of sequencing batch reactor performance for petrochemical wastewater treatment

Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) technology has found many applications in industrial wastewater treatment in recent years. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal time for a cycle of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and evaluate the performance of a SBR for petrochemical wastewater treatment in that cycle time. The reactor was operated with a suspended biomass configuration under ae...

Aqueous Quinoline Treatment with Iron/ Copper Activated UV/ Persulfate Process in a Falling Film Photo-Reactor

Sequencing Batch Reactor versus Continuous Flow Process for Pilot Plant Research on Activated Sludge

The objective of this article is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) versus the more conventional continuous flow reactor (CFR) setup for pilot plant studies. The SBR process can offer many superior features for research applications. The control of operational conditions is more reliable, precise and versatile. Data collection by sampling and on-li...
