This study was carried out to investigate the applicability of Solid Contact Process for the improvement of Moving Media Complete Mixing Activated Sludge(MMCMAS) effluents. Laboratory MMCMAS Reactor and MMCMAS/Solid Contact were operated at the hydraulic loading of 122~340 L/m$^2$/d. The conclusions from this study were as follows ; The addition of Solid Contact tank to the MMCMAS reactor has increased the SCOD and SBOD removal efficiencies of 4 to 67% and 2 to 41%, respectively. In addition, the increments of nitrification rates were about 13 to 46%. It was also observed that the addition of Solid Contact tank has greatly increased the organic removal efficiencies at the higher hydraulic loading rates and also decrement of sludge production rates was 0.1 gVSS/gBODrem. It was therefore concluded that the addition of Solid Contact tank could have polished the effluent of MMCMAS at the higher hydraulic loading rates.

This study was conducted to evaluate capability of dyeing wastewater treatment for 3 type reactors. These reactors were Packed Bed Reactor(PBR), Fluidized Bed reactor(FBR) and Moving Media Complete Mixing Activated Sludge reactor(MMCMAS). Experiments of PBR and FBR were performed by various packing ratios and organic loading rates, experiments of MMCMAS were performed by various organic loading rates. In order to obtain ${SBOD}_5$ removal efficiencies of more than 90%, the F/Mv ratios of PBR, FBR, MMCMAS were 0.11 kgBOD/kgMLVSS$\cdot$d, 0.12 kgBOD/kgMLVSS$\cdot$d, and 0.37 kgBOD/kgMLSS$\cdot$d, respectively. So MMCMAS system which has more active microorganisms showed better capability of organic removal and also stronger dynamic and shock loadings than those of PBR and FBR. In PBR and FBR, the media packing ratio of 20% showed better performance of organic matters removal effciencies than 10% and 30%, but sludge production rate at media packing ratio of 30% was relatively lower than that of 10% and 20%. When more than 90% organic matters removal efficiency was obtained, the ratios of attached biomass to total biomass at PBR, FBR, MMCMAS were 89~99%, 87~98%, and 54~80%, respectively. The ratio of attached biomass to total biomass was low in MMCMAS. This was formation of thin biofilm due to shear force between rotaing disc and water. The average sludge production rates(kgVSS/kgBODrem.) of PBR, FBR and MMCMAS were 0.20, 0.29 and 0.54, respectively.

This study was conducted to Investigate the biological treatment capability of MMCMAS(Movinig Media Complete Mixing Activated Sludge) reactor for high strength organic wastewater (Average BOD=800mg/l). And this experimental results were compared previous study for low strength organic wastewater (Average HOD=150mg/l) by the same reactor. In this study, we abtained following conclusions ; (1) The laboratory MMCMAS reactor demonstrated that SBOD removal efficiencies of more than 90% can be achieved at organic Bonding rates of 30.9 gBOD/$m^2$/d for high strength organic wastewater and 39.4 gBOD/$m^2$/d for low strength organic wastewater, respectively. (2) The nitrification rates of MMCMAS reactor was found same results of similiar organic loading rates. (3) The ratio of attached biomass to total biomass on the moving media varied in the range of 40 to 63% and 32 to 94% for high and low strength organic wastewater, respectively. And it was varied at the various concentration of influents for the similiar organic loading rates. The sludge production rates was found approximately 0.37 gVSS/$gBOD_{rem}$. in MMCMAS reactor.

This study was carried out to obtain Kinetic constant of Moving Media Complete Mixing Activated Sludge (MMCMAS) for the wastewater treatment. A laboratory MMCMAS reactor was operated at the organic loading rate of 2.5g$BOD_{5}$/$m^{2}$ /d~48g$BOD_{5}$/$m^{2}$/d kinetic constant of MMCMAS reactor was estimated as follows:
