Popis: Particularly under moderate climate conditions many low and medium strength wastewaters are discharged at lower ambient temperatures, including domestic wastewater and a large variety of industrial wastewaters, e.g. those of bottling, malting, brewery and soft drinks manufacturing. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations of these wastewaters frequently are lower than 1,500 mg COD dm-3 and frequently they contain dissolved oxygen concentration of up to 5 mg O2 dm-3. The established sanitary wastewater engineering world has so far considered anaerobic wastewater treatment (AnWT) of cold and very low strength wastewaters as unfeasible. Although this opinion may be based mainly on prejudice and a serious lack of sound insight into the anaerobic digestion process and technology, in fact it restrained scientists in the past to start research in this field.
