Evaluation of kinetic constants for anaerobic fixed film fixed bed reactors treating tannery wastewater

An approach has been made to evaluate the kinetic constants for a two stage anaerobic fixed film fixed bed reactor system treating tannery wastewater. The research reported herein is concerned with the bench scale performance evaluation of the reactor system treating the wastewater and application of the data to various models to evaluate the kinetic constants for substrate bio-oxidation, biomass growth and biogas yield.
