Laboratory model RBC system was designed as secondary treatment of UASB reactor effluent. RBC System was built with two stages connected in series, each stage with effective volume of 81 liters. The attach media support for biofilm were 14 PVC disks of 60 cm diameter having a 7.48 m2 of total effective area. RBC system was operated at a constant flow rate of 432 l/day (HRT of 4.50 hours per stage). RBC system operation was divided in three periods at different disk rotational speed (3 rpm for 2 months and 5 rpm for 2 months). Organic matter removal efficiency was studied measuring parameters like BOD5, TSS, FSS, VSS weekly and daily measurements of Temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen and Turbidity. Moreover, biofilm evolution, its physical characteristics and mainmicroorganisms from the biofilm were observed. Finally, results showed a high degree of oxygenation, reaching an average value of 5.21 mg O2/l just in the first stage. In terms of organic matter removal, average BOD5 removal efficiency was 90% for 3 rpm rotational speed and 78% for 5 rpm, demonstrating better performance for 3 rpm. Also, was found that two stages in series had a better performance than a single stage. The most representative biofilm microorganisms in first stage were protozoa ciliated free-swimming and filamentous bacteria that had an excessive growth at second period. In the second stage, it was ciliated attached protozoa, rotifers and unicellular and filamentous algae.
