Kinetics Study of UASB and HUASB System in Treating Municipal Wastewater

Article Preview

Abstract:

. A combined laboratory-scale system UASB-DFAF and HUASB-DFAF was operated for treating Municipal wastewater at six hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 45.08, 30.06, 22.54, 18.03, 15.03, 12.88 h. COD removal efficiency in range from 72% to 82% in UASB, while in HUASB range from 84 to 89% with decrease of HRT. There are several method have been developed to represent biodegration of municipal sewerage in a combined treatment system. The Monod, Grou second-order and first order model have been used to analyze this studies. The combined of HUASB reactor, 5.41 L working volume, followed by DFAF reactor, having a working volume 2.67L were analyzed. The kinetic parameters were determined through line regression using experimental data. The predicted COD concentration was calculated using the kinetic constant. The kinetic models applied for this study were Grou second-order, followed by first order method and Monod method.
