A STUDY ON MICROBIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF UPFLOW ANAEROBIC FILTER
上流式厌氧滤器微生物学特性的研究

This experiment was conducted to study the relationship between performance and bacterial population in upflow anaerobic filter by improved Hungate technique. The results obtained showed as follows: (1) There existed correlation closely between the bacterial population, COD and volatile fatty acids removal; (2)The bacterial population was affected to a small extent by the change of organic loading rate in short bine and suspending performance; (3) Successful performance of the reactor depended on the microbes' composition and their coordinated metabolism.
