Abstract
This work was aimed to evaluate the performance of UASBR for treating milk processing wastewater. The study has been conducted for the UASBR installed at S.R.Thorat Milk Products Pvt. Ltd. at Rajapur, Tal. Sangamner, District Ahm ednagar. The organic loading rate was 3.69 Kg COD/m 3 /day, hydraulic retention time was 10 hours, and fl ow rate was 10m 3/hr. And up flow velocity was 0.6m /hr. The COD: N: P ratio was followed as 100:5:1 for nut rient feed. The performance of UASBR is reported in terms of % removal of various wastewater characteristics by UASB process. It is observed that the biogas yield of 0.6m 3 /m 3 reactor volume/day is sufficient to carry out natural mixing in the reactor. So Upfl ow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor can be s uitable alternatives for treatment of such wastewater to reduce overall oper ational cost of the treatment. [2]
