Performance enhancement of up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor for psychrophilic temperature during the dry season: Kality wastewater treatment plant.

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is to reduce organic and inorganic pollutants to meet standards. But WWTPs employing up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors under psychrophilic temperature are currently removing about 55% chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 70% total dissolved solids (TSS). The research was done to increase the treatment efficiencies of UASB reactor working under psychrophilic conditions through optimization of operational parameters like temperature, organic loading rate (OLR), pH and hydraulic retention time (HRT). Experimentation was carried out in a 0.0486 m³ square-shaped pilot-scale UASB reactor. Experimental design response surface method (RSM) for performance enhancement and optimization of UASB reactor operational parameters
