Abstract

Laboratory scale continuous flow activated sludge experiments have demonstrated that the liquid waste from solid waste-to-methane digestion facility can be treated effectively by acclimated biological flocs. The average BOD/COD ratio of the waste is 0.5 with BOD concentration of 1300 mgl-1. Total BOD removals of 98% and total COD removals of 78% were achieved. Although refractive in nature, high nutrient concentrations and a readily biodegradable fraction of the BOD render the waste amenable to aerobic biological treatment.
