the effect of organic loading rate (olr) provided by hydraulic retention time (hrt) and influent chemical oxygen demand (codin) on the performance of an up-flow anaerobic sludge fixed film (uasff) bioreactor treating palm oil mill effluent (pome) was studied. anaerobic digestion of pome was modeled and analyzed with two variables i.e. hrt and codin. experiments were conducted based on a general...

a thermophilic anaerobic contact reactor for the treatment of potato-processing wastewaterswas designed as a continuous-flow, completely-mixed homogeneous system. the reactor was operated at ten different organic loading rates ranging from 0.84 g cod/l·d to 7.00 g cod/l·d for a duration of approximately 250 days. the fundamental way to maintain optimum operating conditions of anaerobic digestio...
