AbstractIn the present work the kinetics and the feasibility of batch anaerobic filter operations for the treatment of beet molasses distillery slops have been investigated.Up to 50 of the influent COD up to 25 g/l are removed after 5… 10 h and up to 80 after 24… 40 h treating time. Highest removal rates were obtained for 50 removal and influent COD concentration ≧13 kg. m−3. The highest methane productivity was observed in the same range of COD influent concentration during the first 10 hours (initial velocity) of the treatment.The benefits of the anaerobic treatment of waste water applying systems with biomass retention are di
