Three 4 L anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactors (AMBBR) treated brewery wastewater with AC920 media providing 680 m² protected surface area per m³ of media. Different hydraulic retention times (HRT; 24, 18, 12, 10, 8 and 6 h) at 40% media fill and 35 °C, as well as different temperatures (15, 25 and 35 °C) at 50% media fill and 18 h HRT were examined. Best performance at 35 °C and 40% media fill was observed when HRT was 18 h, which corresponded with 92% removal of soluble COD (sCOD). Organic loading rates (OLR) above 24 kg-COD m⁻³d⁻¹ decreased performance below 80% sCOD removal at 35 °C and 40% media fill. The reason was confirmed to be that surface area loading rates (SALR) above 50 g-sCOD m⁻²d⁻¹ caused excessive biofilm thickness that filled up internal channels of the media, leading to mass transfer limitations. Temperature had a very significant impact on process performance with 50% media fill and 18 h HRT. Biomass concentrations were significantly higher at lower temperatures. At 15 °C the mass of volatile solids (VS) was more than three times higher than at 35 °C for the same OLR. Biofilms acclimated to 25 °C and 15 °C achieved removal of 80% sCOD at SALR of 10 g-sCOD m⁻²d⁻¹ and 1.0 g-sCOD m⁻²d⁻¹, respectively. Even though biomass concentrations were higher at lower temperature, biofilm acclimated to 25 °C and 15 °C performed significantly slower than that acclimated to 35 °C.

三个带有AC920介质的4 L厌氧移动床生物膜反应器（AMBBR）处理的啤酒废水，每m ³介质可提供680 m ^2的受保护表面积。在40％介质填充和35°C的情况下，不同的水力停留时间（HRT； 24、18、12、10、8和6 h）以及在50％介质填充和不同的温度（15、25和35°C）下检查HRT 18小时。当HRT为18 h时，在35°C和40％的介质填充下观察到最佳性能，这对应于92％的可溶性COD（sCOD）去除率。高于24 kg-COD m ^-3 d ^-1的有机负载率（OLR）在35°C和40％的介质填充量下，去除80％sCOD以下的性能下降。确认原因是表面积负载率（SALR）高于50 g-sCOD m ^-2 d^-1导致生物膜厚度过大，从而填满了介质的内部通道，从而导致了传质限制​​。温度对50％介质填充和18 h HRT的工艺性能有非常显着的影响。在较低温度下，生物质浓度显着较高。对于相同的OLR，在15°C时，挥发性固体（VS）的质量是35°C时的三倍以上。适应25°C和15°C的生物膜在SALR分别为10 g-sCOD m ^-2 d ^-1和1.0 g-sCOD m ^-2 d ^-1时实现了80％sCOD的去除。即使在较低温度下生物量浓度较高，适应于25°C和15°C的生物膜的运行速度也明显低于适应于35°C的生物膜。
