FULL SCALE UASB REACTOR PERFORMANCE IN THE BREWERY INDUSTRY

摘要

In this paper the 7 year experience of the Oriental Breweries, located in Kumi, Korea utilizing a full-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor for the anaerobic pretreatment of brewery wastewater is presented. The anaerobic pretreatment system selected has successfully achieved the desired treatment efficiency for the brewery wastewater during that period and it has also continued operation even with low wastewater concentrations average COD 1,400 mg l~-1) and lower flow rates than specified by the design parameters.
