| The treatment of sugar factory wastewater was studied using a pilot upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. The influent was a molasses-based substrate with a chemical oxygen demand (COD) retention time (HRT) att or above four hours and with an average organic loading rate (OLR) below 6.7 kg COD/m3/day, the COD removal efficiency of the system was over 76 per cent. A sharp drop was observed in the COD removal efficiency at a HRT of two hours and at an average OLR above 11.5 kg COD/m 3/day. The optimum HRT is between four and six hours. | |
