Bacterial selection during the formation of early-stage aerobic granules in wastewater treatment systems operated under wash-out dynamics

Aerobic granular sludge is attractive for high-rate biological wastewater treatment. Biomass wash-out conditions stimulate the formation of aerobic granules. Deteriorated performances in biomass settling and nutrient removal during start-up have however often been reported. The effect of wash-out dy...
