in order to establish the appropriate methane fermentation technology for low strength wastewater, a 2.0 l egsb reactor was operated at 20â°c with 0.3 - 0.4 g cod/l of sucrose-based synthetic wastewater for 500 days. at the start up period, the reactor was operated in egsb mode with a 5 m/h up flow velocity by continuous effluent recirculation. however, the egsb reactor exhibited insufficient c...

This research examined novel configuration of SBAR in lab-scale for industrial wastewater treatment. To evaluate COD removal efficiency and granules formation of the novel reactor (R1), SBAR system (R2) was operated under similar conditions during the experimental period. R1 and R2 with working volume of 3.6 and 4.5 L were used to cultivate aerobic granules. Both reactors were operated for 4 hr...

background; conventional chemical coagulation is considered as the old method to color and cod removal in textile effluent. electrocoagulation (ec) process is a robust method to achieve maximum removal. methods; this work was designed to compare the result of operational parameters including optimum ph and coagulant concentration for chemical coagulation with ferric chloride and alum. also, the...

In this study, we investigated the efficiency of dissolved methane (D-CH(4)) collection by degasification from the effluent of a bench-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor treating synthetic wastewater. A hollow-fiber degassing membrane module was used for degasification. This module was connected to the liquid outlet of the UASB reactor. After chemical oxygen demand (COD) remov...

background: the measurement data regarding the influent and effluent of wastewater treatment plant (wwtp) provides a general overview, demonstrating an overall performance of wwtp. nevertheless, these data do not provide the suitable operational information for the optimization of individual units involved in a wwtp. a full-scale evolution of wwtp was carried out in this study via a reconciled ...

a lab-scale sbr equipped with a flat sheet membrane in submerged configuration that is named msbr was used for the treatment of composting leachate. it was fed by biologically treated leachate with overall 70-1360 mg/l chemical oxygen demand (cod). the values of ph, electrical conductivity (ec), and dissolved oxygen (do) were monitored routinely. however, analysis of total cod, soluble cod (sco...

The aim of this work was to investigate the resistance to hydraulic shock loads of flocculent versus granular sludge used in UASB reactors treating sewage with high solids content. Step-wise shock loads were conducted through decreasing HRT to examine the extent of reducing this parameter without significantly changing COD removal efficiency of the reactor. The lowest HRT of 4h resulted in only...

the performance of a plug flow electrocoagulation reactor for the treatment of cattle abattoir(slaughterhouse) wastewater was investigated. a cylindrical iron reactor was operated as a cathode at arecycling batch mode while three iron rods located at the center of the reactor were used as an anode. theeffects of different parameters, including the current density, the supporting electrolyte dos...

The applicability of Fenton's oxidation as an advanced treatment for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color removal from anaerobically treated poultry manure wastewater was investigated. The raw poultry manure wastewater, having a pH of 7.30 (+/-0.2) and a total COD of 12,100 (+/-910) mg/L was first treated in a 15.7 L of pilot-scale up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. The UASB rea...

This study describes the biological degradation of TNT by using induced aeration. Three plastic reactors were used. In each reactor 3 kg of soil were used. In order to increase the porosity of the soil, sawdust was added to soil. Textile wastewater treatment plant sludge was also added to soil. TNT at the concentrations of 1000 mg/kg of soil was added thereafter. Rhamnolipid biosurfactant at th...
