Performance evaluation of inverse Anaerobic fluidized bed reactor in Treating high strength organic Wastewater

Abstract

This work is to assess the feasibility of inverse anaerobic fluidized newlinebed reactor IAFBR in removal of chemical oxygen demand COD and newlineother components of high strength organic wastewater There are various newlinetechnologies available for treatment of raw spentwash from distillery which newlineutilize resource recovery and disposal The secondary and tertiary treatments newlineon their own are not technically and economically viable options for newlinemitigating the problems associated with treatment and disposal of highstrength newlinespentwash Post anaerobic effluent has high COD BOD and newlinesuspended solids SS Solar evaporation requires a large land area and also newlineremains non functional during the rainy seasons Two stage aerobic treatment newlinehas high energy requirements newline
