| Abstract: |
Brewery (BW) and dairy (DW) wastewater are two types of agro-industrial wastewater that are generated in large amounts and, therefore, should be treated effectively and in an environmentally beneficial manner. Both these wastewater types are characterized by a high COD, BOD5, and nutrient content, and conventional wastewater treatment methods such as an activated sludge process may prove to be inefficient due to the possibility of foaming, large biomass production, low activity at low temperatures, and risk of overloading the reactor with a load of organic pollutants. In the context of the described difficulties, anaerobic processes seem to be the best alternative. An interesting research area is the co-digestion of these wastewaters. However, this research direction, so far, has not been frequently reported. Given the gap in the current knowledge, this literature review aims to assess the possibility of BW and DW digestion in anaerobic reactors and provide up-to-date data on the post-treatment methods of effluent generated after the anaerobic digestion process. Despite numerous advantages, anaerobic treatment often requires post-effluent treatment to complete the treatment cycle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
