Batch reactors bacteria growth

The point is that the same population dynamics are applicable to remediation systems. The principal difference is that in a soil/water system, one has essentially the growth rate of the bacteria as a limiting condition. This is also akin to another type of system known as the Sequencing Batch Reactor or SBR.

It was considered a stirred tank reactor where the Desulfovibrio Alaskensis (DA) bacteria growth is carried out. The DA bacterium is a sulfate reducing bacteria used, in this case, to degrade some undesirable sulfate compounds to sulfides. It was previously determined that the Monod s kinetic equation adequately describes our reactor [2], where its kinetics parameters were determined via standard methodology in a batch culture [3].
