Landfill leachate of Hong Kong was first treated by the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process. At 37 degrees C, pH 7.1-8.5 and a HRT of 5.1-6.6 days, the process removed 66-90% of COD in the leachate for loading rates of 1-2.4 g-COD/l day depending on the strength of landfill leachate. The final effluent contained 1440-1910 mg-COD/l and 70-91 mg-BOD/l. About 92.5% of the total COD remo...

تحلیل وضعیت ترافیکی و پیشنهاد روش‌های مدیریت جریان ترافیک نقش اساسی در ارزیابی عملکرد بسیاری از سیستم‌های حمل‌ونقلی ایفا می‌کند. بین جمع‌آوری داده‌های ترافیکی، رویکردهای مبتنی‌بر فنّاوری‌های نوین که امکان گرد‌آوری حجم پویای زمانی‌ـ مکانی را فراهم می‌آورند استخراج روندها الگوها تسهیل می‌کنند اهمیت دارند. این پژوهش، تهران به‌منزلة پایتخت ایران، با ویژگی‌های اقتصادی اجتماعی خاصی دارد تنوع سفرها به ...

In this study, we investigated the feasibility of anaerobic sewage treatment at extremely low temperatures (4 °C) using two reactor setups: Upflow sludge blanket reactors (UASB) without and with (AnMBRUASB(UF)) a membrane.

15 The UASB process for wastewater treatment has been extensively studied, but the use of zeolite to improve 16 UASB reactor performance has rarely been explored. In this study, a UASB reactor modified with natural 17 zeolite operating at high nitrogen concentrations (0.5 g/L, 0.7 g/L and 1 g/L) was evaluated. Two laboratory 18 bioreactors, one with zeolite and one without, were operated at amb...

The study explores the influence of physicochemical pretreatment on the performance of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors treating synthetic textile wastewater. Physicochemical pretreatment in this study utilized a new composite coagulant magnesium chloride added with aluminum chlorohydrate which produced nearly complete color removal and a partial chemical oxygen demand (COD) remo...

The anaerobic treatability of malt whisky distillery wastewater was investigated. Biochemical methane potential (BMP) experiments were conducted both with and without basal medium (BM) to observe the effect of nutrient supplementation. For batch reactors containing no nutrients but only NaHCO3, net total gas production at the end of 29 days were observed as 0.019 m 3 gas/kg COD removed. With nu...

The successful operation of a high-rate anaerobic reactor, up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor depends on the prevailing physico-chemical and biological conditions during its operation. The wastewater characteristics and composition, the hydrodynamics of the process, and microbial activity are critical for achieving long term, optimal reactor performance. Modeling UASBs can be benef...
