Fig. 8.3 Biomass balance for suspended growth for the determination of b s , b t and b d (for batch
study with synthetic carbonaceous wastewater)
8.2.2 Determination of Kinetic Coefficients from Semi-batch
Study with Municipal Wastewater
8.2.2.1 Determination of K s and µ max (Ref. Clause 3.2, Chapter 3)
Specific growth rate μ is calculated from the expression
μ = (X hybrid2 − X hybrid1 )(X hybrid1 )θ
as shown in Fig. 8.4.
In order to determine the half-saturation constant (K s ) and maximum specific
growth rate (μ max ) for synthetic carbonaceous wastewater treatment in the hybrid
bioreactor system, μ was plotted along Y-axis against S w plotted in X-axis as shown
