The objective of this study was to investigate hydrogen production from alcohol wastewater by anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) under thermophillic operation. The ASBR unit used in this study had a liquid holding volume of 4 L and was operated at 6 cycles per day. The seed sludge taken from an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket unit treating the same wastewater was boiled at 95 °C for 15 m...

ozonation was carried out for decolorization and coD removal of raw and anaerobically treated uAsb (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) combined industrial (mainly textile) effluent in a lab-scale bubble column reactor. ozonation of anaerobic bioprocess effluent at a dose of 300 mg/h for 10 min resulted in 81% color and 75% coD removal (100 mgo3/80 mg coD) while for raw wastewater 25 min ozonation...

We investigated bacterial and archaeal community structures and population dynamics in two anaerobic bioreactors processing a carbohydrate- and sulfate-rich synthetic wastewater. A five-compartment anaerobic migrating blanket reactor (AMBR) was designed to promote biomass and substrate staging, which partially separates the processes of methanogenesis and sulfidogenesis in the middle and outer ...

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a promising new process to treat high-strength nitrogenous wastewater. Due to the low growth rate of anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria, efficient biomass retention is essential for reactor operation. Therefore, we studied the settling ability and community composition of the anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing granules, which were cultivated in an upflow a...

Lipids inhibition and their degradation in dairy wastewater treatment were investigated in this study. A two-phase system, composed of an acidogenic continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a methanogenic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, was compared with the single-phase system of a conventional UASB reactor. The systems were operated up to an organic loading rate of 8.09 g ...

Limbah cair industri tepung tapioka mengandung bahan-bahan organik dengan kosentrasi yang tinggi yaitu COD sekitar 7.000 - 30.000 mg/L dan BOD 3000-6000 sehingga memiliki potensi untuk digunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan biogas. Dengan menggunakan fermentasi secara anaerobik di dalam reaktor (digester), limbah mengalami proses dekomposisi menjadi biogas oleh mikroorganisme anaerob. Beberapa ...

This research focuses on performing multiphase solid/liquid/gas CFD simulations of a UASB reactor in order to obtain validated model that provides clearer understanding the hydrodynamic behaviour three phases reactors. Eulerian–Eulerian, laminar, three-dimensional, are carried out using Fluent 16.2. The liquid phase velocity and flow profile through PIV experiments. A mean difference 8.45% is f...
