AB  - The performance of aerobic submerged packed bed reactors was studied for the 
      treatment of domestic wastewater using different kinds of packing materials with 
      high specific areas (760-1,200 m(2)/m(3)). The tested materials were ceramic 
      spheres, crushed tezontle, grains of high density polyethylene (HDPE), of low 
      density polyethylene (LDPE) and of polypropylene (PP), cubes of polyurethane (PU) 
      and polyethylene tape (SESSIL). The bioreactors were operated in continuous 
      regime, applying organic loads in the range of 0.8-6.0 g COD.m(-2).d(-1). The 
      obtained specific COD removal rates were very similar in all the reactors when 
      they were operated at organic loads up to 2.0 g COD.m(-2).d(-1), after which 
      differences in effectiveness appeared and the best results were determined in the 
      reactors with SESSIL, LDPE and PU. Very low TSS, O&G and turbidity were obtained 
      in all the effluents. The NH(3)-N and TN removals were dependent on the dissolved 
      oxygen (DO) concentration and the removals at DO of 5 mg/l were 84-99% and 61-74% 
      respectively. The best removals were determined in the reactors with PU, SESSIL 
      and LDPE. The reactor with tezontle had also a good performance when operated 
      with loads up to 1.0 g TN.m(-2).d(-1). The best phosphate removals (38-49%) were 
      obtained in the reactors with PU, tezontle, ceramic sheres and SESSIL.
