Effect of mixing mode on the behavior of an ASBBR with immobilized biomass in the treatment of cheese whey

A hydrodynamic study of a mechanically stirred anaerobic sequencing batch biofilm reactor (ASBBR) containing immobilized biomass on polyurethane foam was performed with the aim to determine homogeneity of the reactor based on total mixing time. Turbine or helix propellers were used for stirring at r...
