Abstract This paper reports on the results of liquid-phase mass transfer experiments carried-out in a bed of immobilized anaerobic sludge. The liquid superficial velocity (vs) was found to deeply affect the liquid-phase volumetric mass transfer coefficient (ksa) in the vs range of 0.007 to 0.075 cm.s−1. Moreover, ksa increased exponentially with vs in that range, due to the decrease of the external mass transfer resistance.
