Abstract Biomass washed out from an expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor treating oleate (82%, w/w) was inves-tigated. This biomass had a 50% higher activity compared to granules present in the EGSB reactor. Recirculationof washed out biomass into reactor remarkably improved the treatment performance. The highest methane conver-sion rate from oleate, 300 mg CH 4 -COD/g VSS.d, was achieved at a concentration of 4 g oleate-COD/l and a volumetric loading rate of 8 g COD/l.d.
