Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Food industry wastewater presents unique treatment challenges.
  • Anaerobic sequencing batch reactors (ASBRs) offer a potential solution for treating complex industrial effluents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the purification performance of ASBRs for food industry wastewater.
  • To establish design principles for effective ASBR operation.
  • To develop a control strategy for optimizing ASBR treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Two ASBRs were operated using slaughterhouse effluent and concentrated dairy wastewater.
  • Kinetic studies (TOC, VFA, biogas production) were conducted throughout treatment cycles.
  • A control strategy based on biogas production rate was developed and implemented.

Main Results:

  • Maximum loading rates were identified: 4.5 g COD/L/day for dilute effluent and 6 g COD/L/day for concentrated effluent.
  • Higher loading rates led to operational difficulties and reduced purification efficiency.
  • The automated reactor successfully treated dairy wastewater at an average load of 5.4 g COD/L/day.

Conclusions:

  • ASBRs are effective for treating food industry wastewater.
  • Biogas production rate monitoring provides a viable control strategy for ASBRs.
  • Optimized ASBR design and control enhance purification performance and operational stability.
