Abstract

Two aerobic distinct granular sludge reactors were operated to treat freshwater aquaculture streams at laboratory-scale:An Expanded Granular Sludge Bed (EGSB) reactor operated in continuous mode and an Aerobic Granular Sludge-Sequencing Batch Reactor(AGS-SBR) operated as a sequencing batch reactor. Both units were fed with low ammonium concentrations (2.5 mgN/L). Granular biomass accumulated in both reactors. With the imposed operational conditions, nitrogen removal was of 10 -20 % and 80 % for the EGSB and AGS-SBR, respectively.
