Removal of organic matters from piggery wastewater in anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR)

The objective of this study is to investigate the performance of Anaerobic Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) on the removal of organic matters (using COD, BOD5 and TSS values) in piggery wastewater using two kinds of carrier: Polyurethane (PU) and Polyethylene (PE) - Different organic loading rates (OLRs) varying from 4.0 to 10 gCOD/l/day with controlled temperature 35 ± 2 oC, pH 7.0 - 7.5 were investigated.
