Organic loading rate 

Loading rates are important operational parameters in conventional activated sludge processes. Studies on biofilm 

have demonstrated that the structure of biofilm was closely related with organic loading rate (OLR) (Liu et al.,

2007). In the formation of anaerobic granules, organic loading rate is one of the most critical factors. Increased 

organic loading rates enhance the formation of anaerobic granules in UASB systems. However, aerobic granule can 

form across a very wide range of organic loading rates from 2.5 to 15 kg chemical oxygen demand (COD)/m3 day 

(Moy et al., 2002; Liu et al., 2003a). Tay et al. (2004) reported that it was difficult to form granules with organic

loading rates lower than 2 kg COD m−3 day−1. The study about effects of organic loading rates on the formation and 

stability of granules showed that the lower organic loading rates resulted in slower formation of granules and took 

longer time to reach the steady state. Even though the formation of aerobic granule is not significantly affected by 

organic loading rate, the physical characteristics such as the mean size of aerobic granules depend on the organic 

loading rate. Liu et al. (2003a) reported that the mean size of aerobic granules was increased with increase of 

organic loading rate. An increased organic loading rate can enhance the biomass growth rate, therefore the weakness 

of the three-dimensional structure of the microbial community can occur (Liu et al., 2003c).
