Accelerated start-up and granulation in polymer-enhanced UASB bioreactors treating industrial food-processing wastewater

This study included a treatability study of the wastewater characteristics through examination of its biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, total and volatile suspended solids (TSS and VSS) and others. The possibility of accelerating the start-up time and granulation pr...
