This study was conducted to investigate the biological treatment capability of MMCMAS(Movinig Media Complete Mixing Activated Sludge) reactor for high strength organic wastewater (Average BOD=800㎎/ℓ). And this experimental results were compared previous study for low strength organic wastewater (Average BOD=150㎎/ℓ) by the same reactor. In this study, we abtained following conclusions ;
(1) The laboratory MMCMAS reactor demonstrated that SBOD removal efficiencies of more than 90% can be achieved at organic loading rates of 30.9 gBOD/㎡/d for high strength organic wastewater and 39.4 gBOD/㎡/d for low strength organic wastewater, respectively.
(2) The nitrification rates of MMCMAS reactor was found same results of similiar organic loading rates.
(3) The ratio of attached biomass to total biomass on the moving media varied in the range of 40 to 63% and 32 to 94% for high and low strength organic wastewater, respetively. And it was varied at the various concentration of influents for the similiar organic loading rates. The sludge production rates was found approximately 0.37 gVSS/gBODrem. in MMCMAS reactor.
