| Abstract | The effects of loadings and nutrient requirements on the performance of an anaerobic contact unit, and effects of using smaller media on the performance of anaerobic filters were investigated, using soft-drink bottling plant waste as substrate. The results showed that in the case of the contact unit, COD removal was low (40%) when the organic loading was maximum (0.6 kg COD/m3 per day), while at other loadings(O.l to 0.4 kg COD/ffi3 per day) the COD removal was satisfactory (60-70%). The system performed well at both level s of nitrogen used (9 and 21 mg N/g COD fed). In the anaerobic filter, the smaller size media (O.S"-1.0") gave higher COD removals (70%) but a depth of filter greater than 3 to 4 ft was not found to be advantageous. |
