Abstract:The performance of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process was evaluated for real leachate treatment, assessing the system capacity to form granules, biomass characteristics, and other engineering and microbiological aspects. Two sequencing batch reactors were operated with a leachate concentration of 25% (R1) and 50% (R2), with an 8-h cycle. The time required for granulation was greater than 80 days in both reactors, and solids loss was significant. The sedimentation rate was also outside the typical values for… Show more
