Abstract: In comparison to an activated sludge process, the organics removal performance of a lab-scale hybrid bioreactor of volume 14.5 L was studied using waste automobile tyre-tube beads as bio-carrier. Batch study was performed using synthetic wastewater with soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) ranging between 1000-3500 m/L for a period up to 9 h under purely suspended growth as well as hybrid condition with bio-carrier concentrations in the range of 10-30 g/L of reactor volume. Hybrid condition showed significant improvement in biomass settleability and organics removal with average COD removal efficiency of 89.6% as compared to 70.6% under purely suspended growth condition.
