Abstract

Aerobic granular sludge is an emerging technology in wastewater treatment. Aerobic granules form larger biofilm aggregates, settle much faster, and can maintain higher biomass levels compared to conventional sludge floccular biofilms. Thus, the application of aerobic sludge granules has potential operational and financial advantages. However, long start-up periods are required to develop aerobic granules from a floccular-based system, and loss of biomass can occur. In a recent study using an innovative seeding strategy, addition of crushed granules to a floccular sludge significantly reduced the start up period (Pijuan et al. submitted). However, currently there is a poor understanding of how granules form, which is required for identifying optimal start-up strategies. Keywords: aerobic granulation; crushed granules; fluorescence microbeads.
