wastewater in Up Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor In these
reactors, the polluted wastewater rises slowly which allows it to form a suspended
sludge blanket. Granules of sludge gather on the surface and anaerobic bacteria
is activated which feeds on the organic matter which exists in the liquid. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial, ’sans-serif’;">The research includes a study of the effect of hydraulic

The experiments have illustrated that it is possible to achieve excellent
removal efficiency for high concentrations of COD when the temperature of the wastewater
is fixed at 30±1 </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;"> ° </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Arial, ’sans-serif’;">C. The
removal efficiency fit with hydraulic retention times (HRTs) in UASB reactor, for
the following values of HRTs:(6,12,18,24,30,36) hours, the removal efficiencies of COD were:(35.78%,48.93%,56.15%,71.3% ,76.33%,83.37%) respectively. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={5}, publisher={Sakarya University}
