Background: Although anaerobic system has been successfully used for treating the strong industrial wastewater, its efficiency for low-strength wastewater as municipal wastewater is not satisfying. This study aimed to enhance the capability of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) for treating municipal wastewater. Methods: A 7-L ABR with 5 compartments was operated for a 287-day period fed with ...

Monitoring and controlling stability in anaerobic digestion (AD) systems are essential, since it allows to obtain information that helps take corrective actions case of deviations the system guarantee a stable performance biogas production. In this work, pilot-scale CSRT reactor (1 m3) was monitored during pig manure with thermal pretreatment (80 °C) operated at thermophilic temperature (45 °C)...

Fast development of centralized agricultural biogas plants leads to high amounts digestate production. The treatment and disposal liquid fractions after on-site solid–liquid separation remains problematic due their organic, nutrient aromatic contents. This work aims study the variability remaining compounds in relation substrate origin, process parameters techniques. Twenty-nine digestates from...

Background & objectives: Pharmaceutical wastewater contains high concentrations of organic matter, high salt and difficult biodegradability, so it must be treated before discharge to the environment. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the treatment of pharmaceutical wastewater (methadone feedstock and neutralized capecitabine) using chemical and biological methods. Methods: The laboratory ...

introduction: the need for food produced from animal husbandry has made it a growing industry which result in increment of livestock waste. on the basis of environmental and economic considerations, these materials require treatment and management. anaerobic digestion and creation of biogas are the most effective methods of waste management. several parameters affect the anaerobic digestion of ...

The anaerobic treatment of low strength domestic sewage at low temperature is an attractive and important topic at present. The upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB)-digester system is one of the anaerobic systems to challenge low temperature and concentrations. The effect of sludge recirculation rate on a UASB-digester system treating domestic sewage at 15 °C was studied in this research. A sludg...

Anaerobic treatment is an attractive option for the biological treatment of municipal wastewater. In this study, municipal wastewater was anaerobically treated with a bench-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor at temperatures from 6 to 31 °C for 18 months to investigate total chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency, archaeal community structure, and dissolved methane (D-...

article as: Deng L, et a ation Process, Biosystem The performance of an Anaerobic-Adding Raw Wastewater-Intermittent Aeration (ANARWIA) process was investigated in a full-scale plant. After 1 year’s operation, a successful treatment for swine wastewater had been developed, without adding alkali or external organic matter. The anaerobic unit can maintain chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal effi...

background : the sequencing batch reactor (sbr) is one of the most widely used systems in sewage treatment because of the simplicity of the process, flexibility of operation in the removal of nutrients, and the ability to be used in different scales. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the sbr in the removal of organic matter (nitrogen and phosphorus) from synthetic wastewat...

Batch anaerobic digestion tests of primary sludge and waste activated sludge were conducted for a duration of 123 days to determine the ultimate degradability of the sludges. For primary sludges the inert fraction of the particulate COD that was predicted by the wastewater models could be employed to predict their biodegradability under anaerobic conditions. The degradation of waste activated s...
