Abstract
The performance of an anaerobic expanded bed reactor treating settled domestic sewage at 37.degree. C was evaluated over 8 mo. The organic strength of the sewage varied from day to day, as it would in a practical treatment plant. With these unsteady-state conditions prevailing, the process was unlikely to give the type of performance (in terms of the removal of organic matter and gas productivity) that would make it a serious competitor to existing methods of treating domestic sewage. This is contrary to the interpretation of other workers who used steady-state conditions.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
