The article considers the results of a study aimed at establishing the constants of enzymatic kinetics of biological treatment of domestic wastewater in low-oxygen bioreactors of the circulating type and proposes methods for calculating such structures using the dependences of enzymatic kinetics Michaelis-Menten. The technological mode of operation of the reactor implies a total oxygen regime of not more than 1.1 mg / l at horizontal flow rates of 0.25-0.3 m/s. The efficiency of wastewater treatment is achieved by increasing the mass transfer of oxygen to the sludge mixture and directly into the flocs of activated sludge, as well as due to aerobic granulation by built-in secondary settling tanks.
