Start-up of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor with slaughterhouse stabilization pond sludge

摘要

Anaerobic digestion is one of the important processes developed for the treatment of wastewaters containing organic substances. These substances are stabilized by the action of a variety of microbial populations in the absence of free oxygen and are eventually converted to methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (C02).
