In this study, the performance of a novel configuration of the hybrid growth bioreactor in pilot-plant scale (containing of anoxic, aerobic and sedimentation sections) was investigated for Isfahan municipal wastewater treatment plants. The bioreactor performance was evaluated after primary sedimentation tanks under the inlet COD concentration of 0.27 ± 0.02 g/L, at different suspended biomass concentrations of about 3, 4, and 5 as g/L and different total hydraulic retention times 4, 8, and 12 h. An industrial moving bed packing with protected specific surface area of 350m2/m3 was used in the bioreactor with a 30% of filling ratio. The modified Stover–Kincannon and Grau models are applied to predict the bio kinetic coefficients of COD removal. According to the results obtained, the substrate removal rate constant (ks) for Grau model was in the range of 8.23–10.96 (1/d), and the saturation constant (KB) value and the maximum total substrate utilization rate (Umax) for modified Stover–Kincannon were in the range of 57.4–87.7 (g/L d) and 62.6–91.4 (g/L d), respectively. Also, the results showed that the bioreactor follows the models with 98–99% correlation coefficients.
