Start-up of UASB reactors treating municipal wastewater and effect of temperature/sludge age and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on its performance

The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors seeded with cow dung manure (UASBCD) and activated sludge of a dairy wastewater treatment plant (UASBASDIT) were used to treat raw domestic wastewater of medium strength. The UASBCD reactor required a period of 120 days to start up. In case of UASBASDIT r...
