Abstract

The objective of this work was to comparatively investigate the performance
of two anaerobic waste water treatment reactors namely
UASB and fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR). Two lab scale models were
erected and experiments were carried on both the reactors for different
substrate concentration of COD 16800mg/L and 2880mg/L for
UASB and FBR respectively. Effect of HRT on degradation of organic
matter was studied through estimating COD at regular time intervals,
COD removal rates for FBR and UASB were found to be 108mg/L/
day and 231mg/L/day respectively, The COD removal for UASB and
FBR was 60% and 57% of the initial value respectively.
