Abstract

Biodegradation of settled COD is studied by evaluating the associated OUR profile obtained in an aerated batch reactor. Hydrolysis was selected, as in current modelling, as the rate-limiting step for O₂ consumption. Settled COD was found to incorporate a significant fraction of active biomass that needs to be accounted for in the evaluation. The analysis of the OUR profile yielded a significantly slower hydrolysis mechanism for settled COD, compared to its soluble slowly biodegradable counterpart.
