Abstract: Fluidized sand bed anaerobic biofilm reactors were operated in parallel to study the effects of inoculum, loading, residence time and carrier type on the startup dynamics for the degradation of molasses and phenol. Degradation rates generally depended most directly on concentrations rather than on other operating variables. Residence times did not appear to directly influence startup. Short residence times and high loadings gave the highest specific activities for both substrates. The type of inoculum was found to be most important for the molasses system, and inoculation on fresh carrier was found to be better than reinoculation. The two times higher specific biomass retention on Siran porous glass gave essentially the same degradation rates on a volume basis.
