“…The excellent properties of granular biomass encouraged the high settleability, and consequently, the technology is able to remove organic matter and nutrients in a compact design reactor. Moreover, the microbial relationships found in the granular sludge encourage several metabolic pathways to degrade pollutants in syntrophic association, such as reported by Kasina et al [18] These factors promote a technology with a low footprint, a small surface in need of implementation and low energy costs [16].…”

“…First, ammonium is oxidized to nitrite and subsequently to nitrate under aerobic redox conditions. Then, nitrite and nitrate are reduced by denitrifying microorganisms, which transforms them into nitric oxide, nitrous oxide and finally dinitrogen gas [12,16,23]. The degradation product of one microorganism can serve (d) Removal of organic matter and nutrients within the reactor As mentioned in Subsection c, granules are able to remove organic matter and nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen under the same operational conditions.…”

“…However, it is important to mention that most recently applications are being focused on the denitrification of groundwater contaminated with pesticides and nitrates, implemented at full scale and thereby providing biosafety and high-quality drinking water [15]. Thus, nowadays the technology continues innovate in the water biological treatment area [16].…”

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) comprises an aggregation of microbial cells in a tridimensional matrix, which is able to remove carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous as well as other pollutants in a single bioreactor under the same operational conditions. During the past decades, the feasibility of implementing AGS in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for treating sewage using fundamentally sequential batch reactors (SBRs) has been studied. However, granular sludge technology using SBRs has several disadvantages. For instance, it can present certain drawbacks for the treatment of high flow rates; furthermore, the quantity of retained biomass is limited by volume exchange. Therefore, the development of continuous flow reactors (CFRs) has come to be regarded as a more competitive option. This is why numerous investigations have been undertaken in recent years in search of different designs of CFR systems that would enable the effective treatment of urban and industrial wastewater, keeping the stability of granular biomass. However, despite these efforts, satisfactory results have yet to be achieved. Consequently, it remains necessary to carry out new technical approaches that would provide more effective and efficient AGS-CFR systems. In particular, it is imperative to develop continuous flow granular systems that can both retain granular biomass and efficiently treat wastewater, obviously with low construction, maintenance and exploitation cost. In this review, we collect the most recent information on different technological approaches aimed at establishing AGS-CFR systems, making possible their upscaling to real plant conditions. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these proposals and suggest future trends in the application of aerobic granular systems. Accordingly, we analyze the most significant technical and biological implications of this innovative technology.

“…Apesar de competirem com os PAOs pela DBO de fácil biodegrabilidade eles não promovem a remoção de fósforo (CAR-VALHEIRA et al, 2014). Manter o pH do reator entre 6,5-7,5 e a temperatura entre 15-30 • C favorece o crescimento dos PAOs (PURBA et al, 2020).…”
