Anaerobic treatment

A carrier anaerobic baffled reactor (CABR), containing hollow-sphere bamboo carriers, was used to examine the effects of organic and temperature shock loads for a constant hydraulic retention time. The relationships among the macroscopic observables (pH, COD and SS), catabolic intermediates (VFA) an

The enhancement of water quality by constructed wetland systems is increasingly practiced world wide. The use of a treatment train consisting of an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (USAB) reactor followed by free water surface and subsurface flow constructed wetlands in series has been investigated.

The study was undertaken to examine feasibility of biological treating of landfill leachate in anaerobic submerged membrane bioreactor. The aim of the work was to estimate the optimal concentration of leachate in the reactor influent and process parameters on the base of anaerobic digestion efficien

The comparative performance of three pilot-scale anaerobic sequencing batch reactors treating domestic sewage from the University of Sao Paulo (Sao Carlos City, Brazil) was evaluated. Physical, chemical and physicochemical variables were accessed in the influent and in the effluent for performance e

In this study the wastewaters originating from solid waste transport stations that are established to compress the collected solid wastes from households in order to ease further transportation to final disposal sites (e.g. sanitary landfills) were investigated in terms of characterization and treat

Wastewater from olive mills in Jordan has been characterized and treated using a lab scale anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR). It was found that this wastewater has an average COD:N:P ratio of about 900:5:1.7. At this ratio, the wastewater was found to have sufficient nutrients that it was no
