Acox, T A

The performance of the fluidized-bed bioreactor was modelled for denitrification using a multiple linear regression. Reasonable accuracy was obtained; however, this type of analysis did not take into account the hydraulic characteristics of the fluidized-bed. The Mulcahy and LaMotta computer program previously used to model a fluidized-bed bioreactor cannot be used in this case due to the Michaelis-Menton constant k determined in this study, which was one to two orders of magnitude lower. With some additional bioreactor study and computer program modification, this may prove to be of some benefit.
