Containers, vessels, or tanks in which chemical and biological reactions are carried out, are commonly called reactors. In the field of water/wastewater treatment, there are six types of reactors: 1) Batch reactor, 2) Plug-flow reactor, 3) Complete mix reactor, 4) Arbitrary flow reactor, 5) Packed-bed reactor, and 6) fluidized-bed reactor. The use of any type of reactor is dependent on the nature of water to be treated, process requirements, reaction kinetics, and some other factors, the efficiency and kinetics of water and wastewater processes are often dependent on the hydraulic characteristics of the reactor.

... the beneficial effects of using water hyacinths on effluent quality was demonstrated clearly in side-by-side ponds with and without floating plants ... Evaluation of early results with water hyacinth suggested that soluble BOD [biochemical oxygen demand] removal in the system could best be modeled as a first order reaction in a complete-mix reactor ...

Réacteur dans l'ensemble duquel est assurée une répartition homogène de l'effluent à traiter, du fluide d'aération et des boues en retour.

OBS

système à mélange homogène : Agencement spécial d'un procédé biologique d'épuration des eaux usées dans lequel les méthodes de brassage et d'aération utilisées entraînent un mélange homogène et complet de l'air et de la masse liquide, et, par conséquent, un contact direct de l'oxygène avec la matière organique à transformer.

... while the dissolved oxygen content can be very closely regulated in complete mixing tanks such as combined tanks, because the oxygen is evenly spread throughout the liquid mass, the same is not true in the case of aeration tanks designed for stepped aeration or stepped feed.

[...] si les bassins à mélange intégral comme les bassins combinés par exemple, permettent de réaliser une régulation très précise de la teneur en oxygène dissous par suite de l'homogénéité de celle-ci dans toute la masse liquide, il en est différemment dans des bassins d'aération conçus suivant les techniques de «step-aeration» ou de «l'alimentation étagée».
