The Granular Sequencing Batch Reactor (AguaClara GSBR ) team is under the Wastewater group. The research focus for the semester is "optimizing" the GSBR operation process–changing the anaerobic and aerobic time–and observing the impact a modified regime has on denitrificationteam has been researching ways to improve inoculation and granulation for aerobic granules. To do this, the team plans to explore the effect of certain parameters on granulation like types of inoculum or type of substrate by monitoring granulation in several reactors under different conditions. Future goals include testing GSBR resistance to high strength wastewater, pairing with the UASB team, and researching low-tech control and aeration.
