THE PERIODIC ANAEROBIC BAFFLED REACTOR

 

Objective:

The Laboratory for Biochemical Engineering and Environmental Technology (LBEET) is carrying out research on modeling, design, optimisation and control of bioprocesses with special emphasis on the processes used for Environmental Protection.

 

Research projects:

  1. Nitrifying Trickling Filters
  2. Growth and denitrification by Ps. Denitrificans
  3. Modeling and Optimization of Denitrification Systems
  4. Adaptive Optimization of Nitrogen Removing Sequencing Batch Reactors
  5. Biological Phosphorus Removal by Acinetobacter sp.
  6. Development of the Periodic Anaerobic Baffled Reactor
  7. Anaerobic Codigestion of Agroindustrial wastewaters
  8. Optimization of anaerobic wastewater treatment processes
  9. Biodegradation of azo-dyes by pure and defined mixed microbial cultures
  10. Integrated Chemical (ozonation) and Biological Wastewater Treatment
  11. Glycerine and carotenoid production using the alga Dunaliela Salina
  12. Sedimentation under saline conditions
