title: Process kinetics of pilot structured media anaerobic reaction tank for spentwash treatment.
abstract: This article presents the results obtained from pilot plant studies carried out on Structured Media Anaerobic Reaction Tank. Using various models, process kinetics such as pH, temperature, detention time, reactor volume, flow rate, organic loading rate, COD removal efficiency, substrate removal rate constant, specific growth rate, decay coefficient etc., are evaluated. These optimum process kinetics obtained may be used for the design and efficient operation of such type of full-scale anaerobic reactor for spentwash treatment.
