Abstract:The present work deals with the anaerobic treatment of molasses-bearing pharmaceutical wastewater using a specifically designed downflow anaerobic bioreactor (DFAB). The capacity of the designed DFAB was 1,000 L of adequate volume with necessary operational controls. Two types of anaerobic treatment, i.e. mesophilic and thermophilic treatments, were applied to the anaerobic biotransformation of wastewater under investigation. The efficiency of both treatments was compared in terms of reducing biochemical oxyge… Show more
