A pilot-scale anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) was designed and optimized for the treatment of real distillery wastewater. low hydraulic retention time 3.5 days reached after only 3 weeks. The AnMBR could treat up to 3.97 gCOD/L/day with high biogas production at 1.36 NLbiogas/Lbioreactor/day. performances an packed-bed treating same wastewater were compared. had a shorter start-up period ...

In this study, granulated sludge synthesized in a sequence batch reactor (SBR) and then granulated sludge was transferred to continuous feeding and intermittent discharge (CFID) bioreactor. Two independent variables (air flow rate and hydraulic retention time (HRT)) were considered to optimize the process. Subsequently, long term performance (150 days) of the bioreactor was assessed by monitori...
