TY  - JOUR
AB  - Phenol degrading biofilms were grown on Celite diatomaceous earth particles in three-phase fluidized beds. Investigations were undertaken to establish conditions in the fluidized beds that could be used to maintain a constant reactor biomass holdup. Initially, a conventional three-phase fluidized bed, in which fluidization occurred primarily by virtue of a recycled liquid flow entering at the base of the bed, was utilized. Insufficient turbulence was generated to control the biomass growth and the bioparticles were washed out of the reactor because of over expansion of the fluidized bed. Subsequently, a draft tube fluidized bed was employed. The gas flow rate through this reactor and the resulting level of turbulence could be manipulated to control and stabilize the biomass holdup.
