A Preliminary Laboratory Investigation of Methane Generation Potential from Brewery Wastewater using UASB Reactor
Journal Title: Annals of Civil and Environmental Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
A preliminary laboratory study was conducted using upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor to investigate the potential of methane generation from brewery wastewater. Brewery wastewater from a local brewery company was collected and used in the experiments. The experiments were run for 15 days. The rate of methane production was about 5.32 L per kg of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removed per day. The pH reduction in the experimental reactor limited the ability of gas production and is likely the result of the temperature at which the experiments were conducted.
