The scope of this study is to evaluate the performance of internal loop airlift bioreactor (ILALR) in treating synthetic wastewater containing phenol and m-cresol, in single and multi component systems. The microbe utilized in the process was an indigenous mixed strain of Pseudomonas sp. isolated from a wastewater treatment plant. The reactor was operated at both lower and higher hydraulic retention times (HRTs) i.e., 4.1 and 8.3h, respectively, by providing an inlet feed flow rate of 5 and 10mL/min. Shock loading experiments were also performed up to a maximum concentration of 800mg/L for phenol at 8.3h HRT and 500mg/L for m-cresol at 4.1h HRT. The study showed complete degradation of both phenol and m-cresol, when they were degraded individually at a HRT of 8.3h. Experiments with both phenol and m-cresol present as mixtures were performed based on the 22full factorial design of experiments.
