Abstract
The relative phosphatase activity and the methane production rate of the biomass at different heights in an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor have been determined, together with volatile acid concentration profiles at three organic loadings. There was some evidence of partial phase separation within the reactor with the highest methane production rates being above the peak in phosphatase activity. Attached biomass had the highest relative activities and was considered to have a more important role in anaerobic stabilization than the unattached portion.
