As shown in chapter 5 it is believed that aerobic granules form through self-immobilization of 85 2008 by Taylor Francis Group LLC 86 Wastewater Purification bacteria when suitable selection pressure is provided in the SBR. Compared to continuous microbial culture the unique feature of an SBR is its ability to be operated in a cyclic mode and a cycle of SBR for aerobic granulation may comprise filling aeration settling and sludge discharge. A number of parameters have been known to influence the properties of aerobic granules formed in SBRs. Basically contributing parameters include substrate composition organic loading hydrodynamic shear force feast-famine regimen feeding strategy dissolved oxygen reactor configuration solids retention time cycle time settling time and volume exchange ratio .
