Agro-industry wastewater treatment

摘要

Tretment of agro-industry wastewater using the RBC system and the combined Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket- Rotating Biological Contactor (UASB-RBC) system was investigated. The raw wastewater was highly contaminated with Organic matter as indicated by COD (3500-4000 mgl~-1), BOD_5 (1620-1800 mgl~-1), and TSS (375-402 mgl~-1). RBC system led to An effluent that does not comply with the Egyptian Standards for discharging effluents to canals or drains. The combined System (UASB-RBC) achieved remarkable pollutants elimination.
