a newly developed natural rubber deproteinization process produces deproteinized natural rubber (dpnr) wastewater as an intermediate product containing a high concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and rubber. in this study, a novel process to recover the residual rubber and energy as methane from dpnr wastewater was developed. as a pretreatment, sds and residual rubber in dpnr wastewate...

a combination of an acidification reactor and an up-flow staged sludge bed (ussb) reactor wasapplied to treatment of molasses wastewater. the ussb, equipped with three gas solid separators, wasselected because of superior organic removal by means of good retention of granular sludge. the combinedsystem was continuously operated at mesophilic (35°c) conditions for 600 days. the ussb achieved a h...

The wastewater generated from pharmaceutical industry generally contain high organic load and the treatment is primarily carried out using two major types of biological methods; aerobic and anaerobic. However, due to high strength, it is infeasible to treat some pharmaceutical wastewater using aerobic biological processes. As an alternative, an anaerobic process is preferred to remove high stre...

The performance of a laboratory-scale 40 L anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treating municipal wastewater with and without iron supplementation was evaluated at ambient temperatures hydraulic retention time (HRT) 6 h sludge (SRT) 50 days. system exhibited satisfactory during the summer winter periods average COD removal efficiencies 73 ± 4% 60 4%, respectively. Moreover, two different FeCl...

Background and purpose: The performance of full-scale moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was evaluated as an alternative for upgrading of Kish Island Mirmohana wastewater treatment plant. In this study activated sludge process upgrade to MBBR process and different operating parameters were compared. Materials and Methods: Effect of upgrading on different parameters such as organic loading rate (...
