Abstract
- A pilot-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB)-downflow hanging sponge system (DHS) combined with an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) and a settling tank (ST) was installed in a natural rubber processing factory in South Vietnam and its process performance was evaluated for 267days. The UASB reactor achieved a total removal efficiency of 55.6±16.6% for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 77.8±10.3% for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) with an organic loading rate of 1.7±0.6kg-COD·m <superscript>-3</superscript> ·day <superscript>-1</superscript> . The final effluent of the proposed system had 140±64mg·L <superscript>-1</superscript> of total COD, 31±12mg·L <superscript>-1</superscript> of total BOD, and 58±24mg-N·L <superscript>-1</superscript> of total nitrogen. The system could significantly reduce 92% of greenhouse gas emissions and 80% of hydraulic retention times compared with current treatment systems.<br /> (Copyright © 2017.
