Anaerobic treatment of wastewater generated from meat processing industry using up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor

Abstract

meat processing industry generates wastewater with relatively low levls of organic pollutants expressed as chimical oxygen demand ( COD ) and the total suspended solids ( TSS ) in addition to other pollutants like ammonia nitrogen an organic nitrogen. according to the initial chemical analysis conducted by seniora company on mar,25/2017 , the COD, TSS , ammonia nitrogen and total nitrogen concentration was found to be 2243 , 760,2.6 and 149.1,mg/l respectively.
