SBR Treatment of High COD Effluent from Bottling Plant
Publication: Journal of Environmental Engineering
Volume 125, Issue 3
Abstract
The feasibility of bench scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) in treating a bottling plant effluent is demonstrated at various influent chemical oxygen demands (CODs) ranging from 300 to over 4,000 mg/L. The SBRs removed over 75% of the biodegradable fraction of the influent COD at a fixed react time of 5.5 h. An easy to use process model is presented to predict the temporal variations of substrate, biomass, and dissolved oxygen concentrations during the fill and react periods in SBRs. The model satisfactorily predicted effluent COD and final biomass concentrations, as well as temporal variations of COD, biomass, and dissolved oxygen throughout the fill and react cycles.
