Abstract

The inorganic fractions of the biomass components produced in aerobic biological reactors were defined experimentally. Experiments were conducted on synthetic waste and filtered domestic sewage to represent directly the production of active biomass and the inert biomass; results were supported with modeling studies. The average TSS content of the sludge was estimated as 1.15 g TSS/g particulate COD for synthetic waste and 1.05 g TSS/g particulate COD for domestic sewage higher than the values reported in the literature
