Image analysis as a tool to predict washout in sludge bed reactors through the quantification of microbial filamentous structures

Image analysis techniques are applied to monitor the morphological changes in granular sludge, present in an EGSB reactor fed with oleic acid. Deterioration of granular sludge was monitored along the trial period by measuring the percentage of aggregates smaller than 1 mm (in terms of Feret diameter...
