Abstract

The slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) is highly influenced by carbonaceous and nitrogenous organic matter aside from significant quantity of dissolved inorganics. There are different streams of SWW, composite of which is exceptionally perfect for secondary biological treatment. The amount of biodegradable organic substances present in the slaughterhouse stream recommends that the anaerobic treatment process could be actualized as the best decision. In this study, the biological treatment of SWW was observed using the Hybrid Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor (HUASBR) at a laboratory scale setup under continuous mode operation. In this study the reactor was subjected to various Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) loading rates in the range of (2.95–37.98) Kg COD/m3/d under the Hydraulic Retention Times (HRT) between 24 and 6 h. The outcome of the HUASB Reactor shows that maximum COD removal efficiency of 94% can be achieved at the OLR of 18.29 kg COD/m3/d under 10 h HRT.
