| Research Abstract |
We have proposed sewage treatment system which consists of an UASB reactor as an anaerobic pre-treatment unit and an aerobic post-treatment unit. The aerobic unit is composed of a combination of a tricking filter reactor and a fluidized bed reactor in order to polish up the UASB effluent. The feasibility test feeding raw sewage for over 250 days was carried out with 7.18 m^3 pilot plant system at a municipal sewage treatment plant. Circulation of a part of the tricking filter effluent stream to the UASB as supplying a sulfate source improved the final effluent quality of the system. Influent unfiltered BOD of 303 mg/L decreased to 150 mg/L in UASB effluent and subsequently to 13 mg/L in the aerobic unit effluent for 12 hours in the HRT of whole system. Vial-activity batch tests suggested that the main electron flow for BOD oxidation in the UASB sludge shifted completely from methane production to sulfate reduction after 90 days operation.
