Abstract-Reactor performance affected through augments caused a total alkalinity diminution in the effluent; while the system buffer capacity was sufficient to overcome such instability, as the ratio of partial alkalinity/total alkalinity confirmed. Removal of COD decreased up to 15% when higher doses were added in comparison to acclimation period. Addition of lower doses in reactor influent affected adversely its performance; although, did not cause entire inhibition to anaerobic microbes..
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
